uSphere jumps on the Presidential Bandwagon with (selected) Alma Maters of the Presidents

Riding a wave of 44 poseurism, uSphere is happy to share some random, off-the-cuff, facts about Presidents' alma maters. And other stuff.

Barack Obama - you know by now that he graduated from Columbia. Did you know he started at Occidental? That there's another Columbia, Columbia College Chicago, that is within blocks of Grant Park, where "44" spoke last night? (Yet another Columbia in Missouri, no connection to the President-elect.)

George W. Bush, George Bush - both went to Yale for undergrad.

Bill Clinton - though he's from my Mom's home state of Arkansas, he went to Georgetown.

Ronald Reagan - Eureka College. It's in Eureka, Illinois. Do check them out - Dutch's lasting legacy has really, really had a positive impact on hundreds of students' lives.

Jimmy Carter - US Naval Academy.

What about some of the other folks connected to the President-elect?

Joe Biden - the future VP did his undergrad at the University of Delaware. Nickname? The Blue Hens, a breed of chicken. (This isn't about post-graduate degrees, but did you know that Joe Biden has a Law Degree from Syracuse?! Good to get the Orange connected to the White House.

Michelle Obama - future First Lady went to Princeton.

Craig Robinson - Michelle's brother. Now head basketball coach at Oregon State.
