Look .. Romney is a very very Rich MAN. he could have easily taken a vacation from his life for six months .. whereas Obama, in 1990 was securing his education to MAKE a life ... NO, he was NOT a rich man. He could not just drop out of his education ... He was trying to ensure a future.

Barack Obama stares silently at a wall of fading black-and-white photographs in the muggy second-floor offices of the Harvard Law Review. He lingers over one row of solemn faces, his predecessors of 40 years ago.
All are men. All are dressed in dark-colored suits and ties. All are white.
It is a sobering moment for Obama, 28, who in February became the first black to be elected president in the 102-year history of the prestigious student-run law journal.
The post, considered the highest honor a student can attain at Harvard Law School, almost always leads to a coveted clerkship with the U.S. Supreme Court after graduation and a lucrative offer from the law firm of one's choice.
Yet Obama, who has gone deep into debt to meet the $25,000-a-year cost of a Harvard Law School education, has left many in disbelief by asserting that he wants neither.
"One of the luxuries of going to Harvard Law School is it means you can take risks in your life," Obama said recently. "You can try to do things to improve society and still land on your feet. That's what a Harvard education should buy-enough confidence and security to pursue your dreams and give something back."
After graduation next year, Obama says he probably will spend two years at a corporate law firm, then look for community work. Down the road, he plans to run for public office.
I really don't think for it would have been wise for him to rush over to Iraq ... and leave behind his future .... to fight for six months ... now Romney could have easily done it ... NO BIG DEAL, PLUS he would have gotten SPECIAL TREATMENT as bush did ... all RICH guys do ... as you very well know ..
