Quote from Mav88:
can you read? honestly, can you? your statement indicates a real reading comprehension problem
Highest student position?- big effing deal, I can't even remember my undergrad or graduate student president, I can't remember my honor society president. I'm glad I don't make an issue of it because that would be small minded, as would being impressed by magna cum laude for someone held up as intellectual.
The most prestigious law review in the country where The current President of The United States and 4 current US Supreme Court Justices are alumni. I agree it is a big effing deal

...the symbolic President of which Obama was selected at large because affirmative action policies
Quote from PiggyBank:
He wasn't the top ranking student, so he shouldn't have been the pres.. it's that simple.
Quote from PiggyBank:
Either way he is a douche, and so are the lemmings who follow him blindly.
Quote from PiggyBank:
the article you posted, on pg 2 says that the system was changed to insure that minority students made their way to the editor position. Sure it doesn't say president but it is reasonable to assume that this was an eventuality of the policy. the first sentence also says that students and professors reacted cautiously to the selection, which I interpret as.. controversial decision. It also says in that article that in the original system the president was the student with the highest academic ranking.
Again the system being changed solely to incorporate minorities, is stupid, unless one of the rules was "you have to be a white male". lol
Quote from 377OHMS:
Obama is a product of affirmative action. His grades and so-called accomplishments were handed to him because of his race and the experience left him unprepared to lead or to recognize his own limitations.
