Most places I've applied to work, they've wanted to know not only where I went to college (and high school, for that matter), but they also wanted to know my GPA. I've never applied for a government job, but I have worked for government contractors, and they wanted to know my GPA, both undergrad and graduate school.

I'm guessing that in Obama's case, the main thing that qualified him for Harvard was the fact that he was a clean, articulate, African-American.

Actually, Obama, presuming his genealogy is correct, had the right Grandpa and Grandma because they descend from a long line of people who were here from the foundations of what has become America.

They were legacies ~ with ancestors who were presidents of Harvard, Yale, Columbia, et al, or colonial governors.

That stuff STILL gets you into those schools. Doesn't keep you there necessarily, but despite their protestations to the contrary, if you are an astute grandmother who wants to get your grandchild into a good school. This guy they picked to be his honorary baby daddy, Barak Obama, he was also a Harvard legacy ~ a very recent one.

There is a difference between applying for a Government and being elected to one.

No one bothered to ask to see Obama’s College grades before voting for him.
‘ They looked at his Melanin Content and he was tan enough to get6 elected.

I was going to say he’s Arab-American but then there’s that BS one drop policy.
McScot-Irish-English-Prussian and Swiss American or how about plain American and screw the hyphenated bull crap.
