It looks like Ol’ Joe was “educated to the degree [he was] educable”.

[TribalPrincess2U]

I’ll bet they cheered for the idiot.

[Scott from the Left Coast]

So should vice-presidents.

Unfortunately...

[Conservative_Jedi]

It looks like stand up Chuck was only educable up to preschool.

In that case, most of Obama’s sons would be kicked out after the Second Grade.

[usurper]

I guess what means is an end to affirmative action since that's what it is. Advancing people who lack the educational ability to succeed.

[lbryce]

Vice Presidents should be kept silenced to the degree in which they are utterly nonsensical.

[dfwgator]

In that case, most of Obama’s sons would be kicked out after the Second Grade.

So would Biden.

[Farmer Dean]

Joe would have made a great janitor,if only he could have learned when to shut up.

[Jerrybob]

He said that to a room full of blacks!?!?!?!

And they cheered!??!

That's one of the most racist things I've ever heard!!!!

He's an idiot, so are they -- apparently....

[Mount Athos]

You didn't post this to make us look dumb right? Cause educable is a real word! educable [ˈɛdjʊkəbəl], educatable [ˈɛdjʊˌkeɪtəbəl] adj capable of being trained or educated; able to learn

[Tallguy]

That doesn’t sound much like the utopian spirit of Ted Kennedy/GWB’s “No Chile Leff Behind”!

If Romney had said anything approaching that yesterday... (shudder)

[null and void]

It looks like Ol’ Joe was “educated to the degree [he was] educable”.

Yep.

[Venturer]

“Children should be educated to the degree they are educable.”
...........................................................
In that case many kids would stop at the 5th grade and save us a ton of money tossed away.

It spounds like a great idea to me.

Children should be educated to the degree that they're are willing to be educated. Which is the rub: far, far too many students don't want to put forward the effort to be educated - and if they're not willing to be educated, their capabilities are irrelevant.
