Obama didn't say anything about coattails and I don't think he was talking about influence. He was talking about opportunities. If we invest in education, then even kids who were not born with silver spoons in their mouths can have opportunities. Maybe some of them can even become President of the United States.

You get grades based on your own ethic, and Romney's record is absolutely nothing to scoff at merit wise and financially. That is where me not paying for my grades (other than to pay for tuition, of course) came into play.

Who is scoffing at Romney's record? He completely kicked ass, both in school and in business. You have brought in this concept of paying for grades. I don't know what that has to do with anything. Even Steve Doocy didn't bring up that.

I wasn't discrediting the fact he's made similar remarks before. It's the fact he makes them that makes me sick.

Really? You don't like the idea of creating opportunities for people from all backgrounds to succeed? Seems like a core American idea to me.
