Harvard was already going downhill in the 1950s.

These days, grade inflation there makes State Universities look tame in comparison.

The Ivy League is not what it once was and Yale Law blows away Harvard Law any day of the week. Even Stanford Law beats it.

BTW, Magna Cum Laude does not mean "top of the class". That would be maxima cum laude. At Harvard, "Magna Cum Laude" means a 3.3 GPA. Top of the class? Not even close.

Whatever happened to summa cum laude?

That used to be the designation of the top student or students.

It still is. My niece graduated summa cum laude from high school and she makes the Dean's list just about every time it comes out in college. Yet, because she is white, she would be at a disadvantage over someone like Obama who got where he is because of idiotic affirmative action policies created by people who are eaten up with guilt over being white.

Obama may not be the sharpest knife in the drawer, but at least he is a knife.

I consider the Chimperor to be a fork and he has "forked us over" to such an extent we will now be a Third World country. He received his own sort of affirmative action by being the scion of a longtime investment banking/political crime family which had influence with those Ivy League schools.

And there's nothing even the sharpest knife can do about it. All any U.S. President can do at this point is end civilization in a global thermonuclear exchange in an attempt to do a "reset" of the global system.

Might be interesting if we could see "who" is wielding the dull knife?

After hearing him trying to make a speech without a script and a teleprompter I think that could be the understatement of the week.
