Exactly...
And whose money was it that got him there? His parents and grandmother sure didn't have that kind of money.
Only that he was on the law review... which historically meant that a student was at the top of their class... BUT starting shortly before Obama was placed on it.. they added an affirmative action component.

quote from article “Until the 1970’s the editors were picked on the basis of grades, and the president of the Law Review was the student with the highest academic rank. Among these were Elliot L. Richardson, the former Attorney General, and Irwin Griswold, a dean of the Harvard Law School and Solicitor General under Presidents Lyndon B. Johnson and Richard M. Nixon.
That system came under attack in the 1970’s and was replaced by a program in which about half the editors are chosen for their grades and the other half are chosen by fellow students after a special writing competition. The new system, disputed when it began, was meant to help insure that minority students became editors of The Law Review.
Harvard, like a number of other top law schools, no longer ranks its law students for any purpose including a guide to recruiters. “
Too bad that NObama didn’t get a spot on “Apprentice” before he ran for President.
We could have gotten a closer look at his lack of abilities & had the pleasure of watching Trump tell him: YOUR’RE FIRED!!!
