Uh, if he had the highest GPA at HLS, wouldn't he have graduated summa cum laude, not magna cum laude? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.117.5.88 (talk) 01:25, 17 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Schools don't necessarily all use the same cum laude designations. Reywas92 ^Talk 00:45, 22 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

And idk about Harvard's criteria but at my school there was, in addition to the GPA requirement, a thesis component for summa. El duderino (talk) 09:55, 8 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Where's the picture?

An action photo (with the president) or a portrait-photo would add to the Article. -- Charles Edwin Shipp (talk) 15:06, 17 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Done -- The picture is good. Tnks, Charles Edwin Shipp (talk) 23:22, 26 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Medical knowledge and experience

Someone should add to the article what medical qualifications, experience, or training Klain has to deal with the ebola outbreak now that he has been appointed as the country's "Ebola czar". Edgeweyes (talk) 21:01, 17 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Doesn't matter -- it's Obama's decree. Quis separabit? 01:59, 18 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Edgeweyes,

added his lack of health background, a referenced fact. --Wuerzele (talk) 02:51, 19 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Overpopulation

Ron Klain thinks it's a big problem: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KRdpi0Ww2-8 --41.150.80.120 (talk) 13:53, 24 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Ron Klain supports a lot of Liberal positions, but is this appropriate for the article? -- Charles Edwin Shipp (talk) 23:24, 26 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

"Not to be confused with Ron Klain"

When I first visited this page, I saw a disambiguation notice at the top that said "Not to be confused with Ron Klain." On the article for Ron Klain. I deleted it. Maybe it's just random vandalism, but if there's actually a Ron Klein or a different Ron Klain or something that this guy shouldn't be confused for, fine with me. Just wanted to have a record of this on the talk page. TheConflux (talk) 02:14, 12 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Biden status as President-elect

In the Biden administration section, several edits have been made to cast doubt on Biden's status as President-elect. As he is currently occupying the office of the President-elect, I don't believe it's accurate to refer to him as the "projected" or "predicted" holder of the title. I've consistently removed additions like that from the page, but I'm unsure if there are specific guidelines in the community for handling situations like this. Euliss (talk) 01:29, 12 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have any references to this occupation? As far as I can find the GSA didn't open any office space for Biden yet. Dugodugo (talk) 03:13, 12 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Fannie Mae

It is noted in the article that Klain was a lobbyist for Fannie Mae. Could someone with knowledge of the matter please elaborate on what specifically Klain was lobbying for on behalf of Fannie Mae. All I have been able to garner from the Washington Post is that he was trying to ease some "regulatory issues" on the Mortgage Giant? 2001:8003:70F5:2400:ADB7:B16C:9CB9:A85E (talk) 00:03, 10 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
