I am really skeptic of him not passing the bar. He did graduate Magna Cum Lade at Harvard.

If he couldn't pass the bar, this is very very likely the case.

I would be very surprised if the average qualifications of blacks and Hispanics accepted to Harvard and other prestigious institutions/degrees aren't significantly lower than those of accepted whites and Asians. Article with examples of such differences.

I have no idea about Obama's qualifications, but I think his background and subsequent success indicates that affirmative action wasn't a significant factor in his case.

LOL @ people who confuse things that only really require hard work with things that require intelligence. I would say probably more than half the people on this board are "smart enough" to do this. They certainly don't want to though.

I come close to tears of frustration when I think about how many people will end up voting for him based on these nicely phrased statements about rungs, nets, and government that is AWOL (????!!!!).

haha...I agree about how it is sad people will vote for him on these nice little things he says...maybe at some point they will realize he is way out their to the left
