“Her education is limited to a bachelor’s degree. The POTUS needs more than that.”

Why is that? Advanced degrees focus on one narrow discipline. The President must be a true executive, delegating expertise, taking the best advice, and making the hard decisions.

Those talents aren’t something you learn in college. Sarah will do fine, just as many Presidents and Vice Presidents who lacked “advanced degrees” have done in the past.

A final thought, regardless of NObama’s educational achievements, his character is unsuitable for President. Sarah is quite the opposite.

I will comfortably assume by making this statement that you do not have an advnaced degree. Of course you are not running for President so that does not matter

An advanced degree in the form of a Masters degree is a much deeper look at a broad field - for instance business, finance, engineering, agriculture. The real focus comes with a PhD - which indeed is far more than a President needs.

However, the level of complexity of the problems currently faced are not to be made simpy via "gut feeling". It helps to understand that problems have many layers.

Education teaches you how to analyze problems. AAn advanced degree will help you focus on particular field, but it also helps with thinking in general.

Simply put, Palin does not strike me as a person who spends as much time thinking as I would want the POTUS to spend.

The degree thing is a proxy for that - the current POTUS doesn't appear to think enough either.
