What would you expect him to do? Not take advantage of an opportunity presented to him? That'd make him a bigger moron than he seems to be already.

Sad state when you have to take solace into little facts to support that your president is less a moron that he seems to be.

But, if your family has a legacy at at Ivy, you might be able to. That's the way the system works. I don't like it, but I don't place Bush at fault for it. The legacy system has gotten thousands into schools before him, and thousands after.

That's not news........its the legacy system that sucks. And so long as you accept it as business as usual, then it will persist. After all, its people's willingness to accept bad things that has led to a number of horrors.....ie the gassing of the Jews in Germany. The legacy system is not as bad as genocide but its what helped make it possible for Bush to get to the White House.........a man clearly unqualified for the job.

Of course anyone would take advantages of systemic benefits offered to themselves. That's human nature.

However, when he become the public servant that sets policy, you should fault him for not trying to reform that system. As a "leader", that's your job.
