Jim, if I am not mistaken, the teachers he was referring to were all in the Naval Academy and compared his life to his father and grandfather who were both Admirals and legends in the US Navy, so they was comparing him to what they thought he should be since he was a not exactly his father’s son.

I would not be pleased if he won the presidency, but I think he is smarter and more willing to listen to advice from people who are not “yes men” then Bush has ever been, and while I think it would be bad, it would be 100 times better then the last 8 years.

Obama/Edwards in ’08!
