Put it this way...

I would book action on an IQ test between the two. You don't become President of the Harvard Law Review by making up new words like strategory.

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.
