If he had believed she were qualified, would it matter? Maybe it would. I'm sincerely wondering.
I think there are Republicans who understand the reality of grad school loans. But I think they filter Obama's decision through the lens of "but he knew he wanted to be a politician." Unless you think you might seek office as a Republican, I'm not sure the six figure job helps as much as being a community organizer would.
Had he stayed a community organizer, more Republicans would probably find his authentic desire to improve his local community admirable, but we wouldn't be having this conversation.
