A Modern Scottish View of Clans (and Gathering)

[MacMillan of Rathdown]

And to think, it took only four generations and some 200 years, as opposed to, say, some other countries where the bi-racial son of a deserted single mother---also from a remote island off the country's western coast--- became president before he was 50 years old.

I think it is disingenuous to portray someone in a false light, as you have done.

I suspect that if you go back 200 years you will find a similar pattern of social advancement in his family.

Setting aside any possible comment on the politics of the United States, you will notice that the gentleman referred to had the advantage of a first class education provided by his maternal grandparents. Beyond that, he took advantage of that education, and every political opportunity possible, to advance himself in society and in his chosen career.

In this regard I see no real difference between the current president of the United States and, say, former president Gerald Ford.
