#4. To: a vast rightwing conspirator (#0) (Edited)

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.

I made a mistake.

Obama graduated with SUMMA CUM LAUDE at Harvard, not MAGNA.

To recap:

OBAMA: SUMMA CUM LAUDE at HARVARD.

McCain: bottom of class.
Palin: degree in sports journalism with a minor in chocolate chip cookies.

Need we say more?

Affirmative Action.

Also, per Wikipedia:

He graduated with a Juris Doctor (J.D.) magna cum laude from Harvard in 1991

Not summa cum laude as you stated. That means a 3.3-3.5 GPA.

No small potatoes.

No small potatoes.

My great-grandfather got a JD from Harvard. He practiced law for all of 90 days, then decided he couldn't lie for a living and became a newspaper editor.

I'm not impressed by lawyers. I have too many in my family from Ivy League law schools for that to count for anything.

We've also got multiple Harvard MBAs. Whoop-de-doo.

Show me some real world accomplishments and then I'll be impressed.

We're aligned on that point.
