Mitt Romney holds 8 higher education degrees" bachelors, masters, 6 doctorates. What do we know about President Obama? He surrendered his law license in 2008 and all his educational transcripts are under seal so that no one can learn about who he is.

What an amazing difference between Mitt Romney and President Obama. The differences are so stark and obvious. Is it any wonder Romney crushed Obama in the debates?

If Mitt Romney were awarded an honorary degree from Harvard Medical School, would you let him perform surgery on your heart?

“How many lawyers actually give up a hard won law degree voluntarily for those reasons after all the years of college it takes to obtain one?”

One of my closest friends just retired her law degree 15 years out of law school because she hated the practice of law so much.

Personally, I would do it in a heartbeat if I could find a non-law job as I hate law too.

It’s more common to retire your law degree than you would think. I’m not saying that’s what the Obamas did, but it’s not uncommon.

As long as he stayed at a Holiday Inn the night before.

Your argument is ridiculous. Look at all his academic accomplishments. If we look at your same reasoning then we could not attribute much validity to your opinion. We do not know who you are. You could be a troll therefore your post is not valid. We do not know what your intentions are because you are hiding behind an homme de plume.

Do you have any idea how hard it is to get a juris doctor degree? Not many can do it and that is why law firms give signing bonuses for such. You must have an ax to grind with Romney! Who are you anyway!

Maybe he didn’t want to face disbarment like Billy Jeff.

According to factcheck.org they admitted that is what he did. Retired his law degree. True it is not uncommon, but it makes you wonder a but.

Everytime a person speaks at a commencement the college awards them an honorary doctorate. Academically it is meaningless. Romney has one more degree than Bombo, a Masters in Business. There are questions about Bombo’s record but basing it on degrees is silly. Bombo has a doctorate for every time he gave a commencement at a school that awards doctorates as not all do.

“It’s probably a lot more than you have! Sorry!”

I’ll put my one earned Ph.D in a real science up against any number of fake Ph.Ds handed out to win the favor of big donors or celebs.

Correction. Romney holds a doctorate of law called a juris doctor. Duh! You guys are so dismissive of accomplishments when you can’t even tie your shoe laces.

The amazing thing about this is that he did the two degrees at Harvard at the same time and graduated with honors.

The honorary degrees are nice but mean little. They are a gift from the university to who ever they wish. Mainly, it often reflects the persons donating money/time to that particular college. Which does not surprise me, since Romney has a history of donating HUGE amounts of money to good causes.

I wonder how many on here, who like to take swipes at such a person, have donated their own money/time to worthy causes.

Then Romney has three degrees, not eight. I said nothing about his three real degrees, just expressing my contempt at the whole idea of honorary degrees.

I did not question Romney real academic accomplishments, bit rather the academic worth of any honorary degree.

For example, Kermit the Frog has an honorary doctorate.

Do you believe that Kermit the Frog's honorary doctorate makes him more academically accomplished that anyone who has not earned a PhD?

I'd tend to agree with you. What's more, I suspect Mitt Romney would also agree with you too.

I suspect that had BO accomplished only half of what Romney has accomplished, we'd never hear the end of it. Either from BO or from his MSM bum chums.

What the heck is wrong with you? I never said his EARNED degrees are worthless, only the honorary ones.

They are of greater worth than Obama’s Nobel Peace Prize.

An Ovaltine secret decoder ring is worth more than Obama's Nobel "Not George W. Bush" Prize.

In the future everyone will get a Nobel Peace Prize for not being George W. Bush... well, except for President Bush.
