George W. was considered George Sr.'s son,
JEBBY JEB Bush's brother, a Yale graduate, and Skull and Bones member.
He knew the "Conservative Right and Republican ideals" and took it from there. The "nation of prayer" emphasis got him a lot of support from those who were not initially impressed with his political and social platforms.
If Obama had a lackluster political experience but came from a line of politicians or had some other networks that his criticizers appreciated, law degree and Harvard Law Review are not enough networks, they'd be able to give him more of the benefit of doubt.
