It is an undisputed fact that Bush got legacy points, which by their very definition means he relied in part on family ties to get in. Obama certainly cannot be said to have had such family ties.

It is also clear that Bush graduated with gentleman's Cs and considering Obama gained admittance to Harvard law, chances are he did a bit better then a C average.

Btw Bush ended up lost his flight status and ended up leaving the national guard.
Yep, chances are that he did better than gift Cs but we don't know and it seems to me that he likes it that way. If not he would allow us to see his records. Are you really sure that he graduated from either of those schools?

Maybe Janelle sees Snopes as just a bit left leaning like factcheck.org the way I do.

You are not familiar with Harvard admittance standards? :Welcome to J.D. Admissions

I've read the whacko conspiracy theories about how he gained admission to Harvard Law, but I think he did it the same way my brother in law did.

He was on Harvard law review. You don't get on a prestigious school's Law review unless you are the cream of the crop. And Yes I am sure Obama graduated law school because under Illinois state law you have to graduate law school to take the bar, which Obama did. Furthermore to get into law school you need to graduate college.

Can you clarify your point here, please?

My point was that I think that Obama gained admittance the way that other students have....by applying and going through what my BIL has described as a fairly grueling process.

She worked at the University of Chicago a private hospital. What would Daley have to do with how big her paycheck was? You're getting all chalkboardy here and ignoring the actual facts surrounding that situation.

So this time next year when all the (R) are hanging from Romney's bag are we gonna bring up his education. Seems dangerously close to that of Obamers.

In a very biased manner.
Anyone who fills in the blanks that are so broad and many would certainly be a bit stupid to do it with the man's biography that was possibly written by another man who used to blow up government buildings or parts of them. I sure don't read biographies to learn truth since bias could influence what a man says about himself.
