Obama Disses the Ivy League

Obama Disses the Ivy League

Ivy Leaguers should just go back to their internships at Goldman, JP Morgan and Bear Sterns (wait, scratch that one). Apparently, Barack Obama is so over his Ivy League volunteers.
 

Political blog Open Left is reporting from an unnamed source in the Obama camp that the potential prez is sick of the overly ambitious brainiacs who are simply out to get ahead. The source goes on to say that the volunteers have caused problems by being insensitive to community issues and creating a sense of elitism.
 

Hmm… didn’t Obama go to Harvard and Columbia? But of course, he keeps it real by living on the South Side of Chicago, so it’s totally different.
 

Nevertheless, word has it that this dissatisfaction means Obama will do much of his hiring from Midwestern colleges. Finally, Ivy League-rejects at Northwestern can put their inferiority complex behind them and rejoice!
