Well he ain't dumb just inarticulate and extremely misguided, actually did better in school than John Kerry did (though I don't know if that's saying much).

JD is a Juris Doctor ... a doctorate of laws. Do not confuse that with being a "lawyer." The two things are NOT the same. A doctorate of laws means that you have completed law school. Being a lawyer means that you have passed the bar exam in some jurisdiction.
A person can be a lawyer and not have a JD (in which case they have "read for the bar" and passed the bar exam), or they can have a JD and not have passed the bar in any jurisdiction.
I do not know if Barack Obama passed the bar anywhere. I do know that he has a JD. Abraham Lincoln was a good example of someone who was a lawyer, but who did not have a JD.
