Politics: our 'disadvantaged' President

On AG nominee Alberto Gonzalez:
Bush “likes somebody he sees as having overcome potential disadvantages, because he sees himself as having done that,” says Paul Burka, executive editor of Texas Monthly magazine and a close follower of the president.
And Campaign Extra! points out the logical questions:
Which "potential disadvantages" would those be? Born into a family of Wall Street and oil field millionaires? Grandson of a U.S. senator? Son of a U.S. president? Forced to attend Andover and Yale despite mediocre grades? Bailed out of repeated business failures? Handed a major league baseball team in a sweetheart deal?

We wish they would have been more specific, with so many potential disadvantages to choose from.
