Obama graduated among the top of his class .Why are you even arguing that he got in do to AA when his grades were among the best of the class![]()
re-read my post: under the original system the top student ranked academically was pres. Changing the system, just for minorities, is stupid and doesn't reward the most capable students. fact.
I'm arguing AA because that is exactly what it is. We know he wasn't THE top in his class, he may have been as low as the 20th %. Still an achievement in my book but not what you are making it out to be, and he WOULDN'T have been president without the policy change. http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_was_Barack_Obama's_class_rank_at_Harvard_Law_School
