Because it's an elitist school, right? And those schools are so easy to get degrees from, if you're the "right kind" of person.
How about his 11 years as a professor at the Uni of Chicago? Oh, right, another elitist school where laziness is reward and hard work is mistrusted.
If anybody invades the country, Otto, I want the elite troops to protect my castle. You are welcome to all the hard working D-students for yours.

Glad you enjoyed story time, but reading is FUNdamental. Please try it some time. The theme of my analogy was about being
effective and
responsible regardless of background... both words with
meanings AND with a
context. If you must sum it up in single terms, I would never say Obama is
lazy regarding self promotion or interests... more like
irresponsible to the people he has been charged to represent.
I had both effective and responsible persons who were schooled or self-made. I had boat-anchors with GED's and Ph.D's... one of which was a professor at a prominent engineering school... couldn't deal with the real.
