Because I wanted to make the point that going an Ivy does not make someone smart. It is the amount of work they put in there that determines what they get out of it.

I wasn't comparing him to George W. Bush. I was just saying the fact that he goes to Yale does not necessarily make him smart and articulate. Alex has obviously had to put in a lot of work on his own to get to where he is at. It honestly was a compliment to Alex.
