<p>ph - I’m really amazed that you presume to speak for me in that way.</p>
<p>It’s particularly amusing in light of the fact that I have not been the one to bring up class standing in the first place. All I’ve done is try to inform people about what class standing at USNA actually entails & how it is not anywhere on the same metric as a civilian college.</p>
<p>It’s pretty lame to conjure up a hypothetical and then attempt to compose something you think I would say (sing? give me a break!).</p>
<p>Furthermore, if Obama HAD finished at the bottom of his class at a Service Academy, I would be “singing” HIS praises b/c I know just what a demanding environment it is and how many don’t make it thru. I would also give him a LOT of credit for even choosing to attend a SA in the first place, especially if that choice was followed by a 20 -I would also point out how “Obama” at a SA would’ve garnered superior Leadership training at his school. </p>
<p>Yes, if it HAD been Obama at USNA, I would absolutely be praising that over McCain at a civilian school.</p>
<p>That post has got to be the most non-sensical, fallacious & presumptuous things I have ever seen on CC!</p>
