1) Yale Law is far harder to get into
I have never met someone who got into Yale law (with 175 seats or so) who did not also get into Harvard (550 Seats)
BFD. Yale is the most selective and Harvard is tied with NYU for second most selective. :roll:
2) it has been posted numerous times how one gets on the HLR
Again, so what? You're arguing against yourself.
He was a lousy college student-didn't even make basic honors at Columbia
You have no idea what kind of student he was at Columbia. He probably could not earn honors no matter how good his grades were because he was a transfer student.
he is an affirmative action poster child
Sure, he is, and George Bush, and Mitt Romney ... all affirmative action poster children. FWIW, I don't think that Obama has ever denied benefitting from affirmative action. In fact, it's quite accurate to say that he is the poster child for the success of affirmative action, as it gave him a chance to prove himself, which he did spectacularly by graduating at the top of his class, becoming president of the law review, a state legislator, a US senator, and president of the United States. I guess the next best poster child would be Clarence Thomas.
