Everyone is dealt a different hand. Is that your point?

Harvard MBA flunks the bottom 10% of the class. So "getting in with connections" if indeed it happened, isn't that great if you can't pull it off once you get there. By the way, Father Bush'e connections were at Yale not at Harvard.

And Kennedy was actually a better than half way good president.

I voted for Kennedy. Was broken up when he died. And now realize that he was the worst President we had during the 20th century. Worse than Carter.

Say what you want about Nixon. But if he had been President instead-as he should have been, he won-we would not have had the "Bay of pigs." There would have been no "Cuban missile crisis." Cuba would have been been free of that bearded bastard for the last 50 years. And our involvement in Vietnam would have been much, much different.

No, Clinton's connections simply allowed him to skate out of any duty in the Armed Services and totally dodge the draft.
