8. Here is something to consider. . .
I don't mind the fact the our presidents are IVY LEAGUE graduates, because as Obama, Bill Clinton and Sotomayor have demonstrated anyone who has show demonstrated that they are the best and brightest can get a shot at an Ivy League education.

Sine the barriers to an Ivy League education are coming down, I don't mind that our presidents come from Ivy League colleges, especially because even folks who go to public or lesser acclaimed under graduate programs can attend graduate school at Ivy League institutions provided they have shown themselves to be the best and the brightest.
