A man comes from low beginnings and ascends to the White House.

Lowly beginnings?

His mother was a Phd, his grandmother a bank vice president (head of the Trust Dept no less), and his father went to Harvard. If that's lowly, I'm afraid to ask what's at the "highly" end of the continuum.

Surely you understand that John Ransom was being sarcastic.

If you’ve read Corsi’s articles on WND this month, maybe the reference was that he comes from the “low down” and ascended to the White House.
