Quote from bigdavediode:
The fact that he graduated magna cum laude. It's Latin, you know, for "with great honors" -- usually it means the top of the class, unlike summa cum laude which means second in the class.
Dave hate to point this out but summa cum laude means "with supreme honors" so technically speaking that would be top of the class.
That said magna cum laude from Harvard is nothing to sneeze at.
Neither is being the editor of the Harvard Law Review and the first African American one to boot.
Correct me if I'm wrong but neither of the Clintons graduated with Latin honors from Yale did they? If so academically speaking Obama's university record would seem to be more impressive.
