In most versions of Commissioner Gordon he suspects or knows Wayne is Batman but doesn't pursue to for plausible deniability.

Intelligent people go to Harvard? Bush went to Harvard.

He was smart enough to be president, twice. Whether you think he stole it or whatever. You, uh, are Xantesfire.

Smart people go to Harvard, but so do people with the push to or the opportunity to. I would say Bush went to Harvard because what fucking school is the son of a president going to go to? community college?

Actually Bush got in because of Legacy Preferences. He didn't go to Harvard because it was his choice, he went there because his father sent him, same for the presidency. When Gore was pushing for a recount, Bush just wanted to go home. It was his father's men with the drive.

I know why Bush had the opportunity to get into college. Was that even necessary to say?

As for him getting into office because of his dad, that only gets you so far. At a certain point, states still have to elect you. The bush name got him up to being a candidate, but him even getting close to being elected were the people who loved him.

Just clarifying that it was because pappy Bush was an alumni.

Actually no. If you remember even Bush's supporters admitted Bush might not be ready for the presidency, but they overlooked it because they considered him a "good CEO", who surrounded himself with "good people", i.e. Reagan's and his father's old crew. They were electing the old puppeteers, with Bush as the puppet.

Winning, while losing

Bush was a guy who proably would have wanted to be something other than president, but what president isn't being surrounded by "good people?"

XantesFire said...

Oh sure they are surrounded by "good people", but usually they pick their people. In this case the "good people" were already organized and they picked Bush.

Well he's a legacy president. Who else would be put in that situation?
