"When Krauthammer dared to suggest that the former Alaska governor looked less than “presidential” while shooting caribou ...." Although Teddy look so presidential shooting a bear that they put it in the Smithsonian and the term Teddy Bear has been used ever since. Medved (who is also a graduate from an ivy league school) has been drifting back to his leftist roots over the last couple of years. That is why he fears Palin and accepts obambi. whether he realizes it or not, he has bought into the elitist / ruling class mentality. He probably thinks Reagan was not up to the challenge due to his non-ivy league degree.

Medved specifically states that it is not Ivy League education that qualifies one for office:

“No one, for instance, questions the presidential qualifications of Mike Huckabee — despite the fact that the former pastor’s evangelical Christian commitment is every bit as fervently outspoken as Palin’s, and his undergraduate degree (from Ouachita Bible University) is no more prestigious than Palin’s communications B.A. from the University of Idaho.

Huckabee, however, served 10 years as governor of his state (and three prior years as lieutenant governor) and in his eight books, weekly TV broadcasts on Fox News and innumerable public debates he demonstrates a mastery of public issues and political ideas that impresses even those who disagree with him.”
