Bush went to Harvard AND Yale. Not exactly known for admitting dummies either.

Yeah but nepotism has its advantages.

Bush is not a re re but he's clearly one of the least intelligent presidents of all time.

and he's clearly lacking in...

You can dislike Obama but you would be a fool to bet against him in a battle of wits against either Bush.

Really? Bush Sr. was pretty sharp. Ever see his experience record?

And I knew the alleged nepotism was going to come up. Are we to assume that there was no advantage given to Obama, at all? I find that hard to believe.

Bush Sr. relished in nepotism as well.

Sure Obama had some advantages like affirmative action but if given the choice would you rather be an impoverished minority benefiting from government entitlements or would you prefer to be the descendant of a filthy rich family with access to basically anything your heart desires?

Exactly.

It's too bad we can't interview the person who was turned down so that Obama could attend Harvard via "Affirmative Action".

Or anybody turned down so that, if you're correct, nepotism could prevail in Bush's favor.

The answer in both cases is a pure merit system.

Why would we want to interview someone who went to another school and more than likely ended up being successful?

I'm not saying nepotism is fundamentally wrong nor would I lie and say that I wouldn't slapdick my way through life like Dubya did and snort coke until my motor skills deteriorated to the point where I was stuck with a permanent dumbfounded expression on my face...

Just like I'm not saying Affirmative Action is fundamentally wrong and I wouldn't take advantage of it if I was a minority and had no other means of attending college and/or getting a job due to a country that, for the most part, is run by white guys.

What I'm saying is I respect Obama more than Bush. He's had a tougher road and no doubt has faced way more adversity than Jr.

He's someone african-americans should look up to. He lets them know that it is possible to achieve great things in a country that enslaved their great-grandparents.

Bullpucky!!!! He was hand fed and gifted all the paths to higher education and a job in politics if he wasnt then you tell me how the poor little guy from Hawaii with no Daddy has gotten where he has. He is a made man just like others before him its just that he wasnt made by family money he was made by wealthy benafactors who have seasoned him to fullfill their agenda.
