Was it by the same method he managed to leapfrog past thousands of Air Guard candidates and was commissioned an officer without even going through officer training school?

all rich kids who have the money to pay tuition can get into ivy league schools. its only the scholarship students that are held to a higher standard since they get to go free or reduced cost. people who pay full tuition are essential to any school's survival.
with that being said, i don't hold the fact that bush's family is rich against him, and i certainly don't think he's stupid. if you were rich, you would expect to get into Harvard or Yale or anywhere too. that's just a perk of being loaded.
the Air Guard stuff is definitely shady, but not the schooling. both are a product of the same thing. once again, if your dad was George H.W Bush, your gonna leap some frogs. again, we know that the Bush's are loaded and connected, same thing can be said for any man who was elected president of this country
what is your point? who is your candidate? are they from blue collar background? i doubt it. not if your voting for a democrat or a republican. Kerry was loaded and connected, he got his "purple hearts" that were under similar suspicion to Bush's credentials in the air guard. if both accusations are true, which is more of a travesty?

his old man set it up for him.. I believe he's in automatically as a legacy.. sort of like The Texas Air Guard while other more qualified "children" went to battle... and U.Tex

No, actually it was because he is more than likely a lot more intelligent than you. When did you last qualify for flying a fighter jet? Do you know what knind of inteligence and stamina it takes? As much as I don't like his policies at times, one thing he is not is stupid. But you wouldn't knwo that.

Ah, but then how did he get into Harvard Business school? Forget the media accounts, our president is actually a very intelligent person.
