The Chosen One, careful as he has been not to leave a paper trail, left one as Professor Obama. Credit where credit is due: The New York Times dug this up.

Look especially at the 2003 final exam (PDF). KLO calls it “Christmas in July.” I call it “a tough sell in Peoria.”

Update:

About that credit being due… NYT still gets credit for running it, but not for being first. Not by a long shot.
