Exactly.
I don't have to prove that someone from that background excelled.
The things he had to overcome just to get there were monumental.
For every Obama that might have slipped through (and you can't prove that he did either) there are hundreds of useless boobs like Bush getting free rides.
So yes, I'll divert that discussion every time because it... the discussion ... is the problem.
