The fact that people have to go back to Obama’s childhood and college credentials to build up his resume speaks volumes about how thin his adult-life resume really is.



Actually, when compared to the Current Occupant who was Yale material only under a legacy system and who didn’t do anything of note until he was age 40, Obama has been a paragon of achievement. He didn’t start out with the advantages of coming from a family of “very accomplished admirals.”



Don’t look now, but the “accomplished admirals” also were toward the bottom of their Naval Academy classes - perhaps class rank is not that great of a predictor of leadership capability.



Uh, in the first case, maybe. And I’ll go check and see if this is in fact true. But admiral #2 may well have been standing on the shoulder of giants – he was legacy himself – much the way Junior W did in getting elected.
