As Jazz Shaw notes, educated enough to get elected three times in four years.
Yeah, this guys pretty dumb:
Howard Dean: How well-educated is Walker? / Scott Walker, Republicans
"This is a particular problem for Scott Walker which has not been an issue yet, but it will. Scott Walker, were he to become president, would be the first president in many generations who did not have a college degree. So the issue here is not just the issue of dancing around the question of evolution for political reasons, the issue is, how well educated is this guy?"
I share Scarboroughs indignation. This is a cheap and snide attempt to question Scott Walkers intelligence and therefore his fitness to serve as president. Because he didnt earn his Bachelors degree, were told, GOP primary voters should look to other candidates. This is absurd.
First, Dean knows full well some of the best U.S. presidents did not graduate from college. He says as much. Still, the point is worth reemphasizing: Lincoln -- whose birthday is today, as it happens -- did just fine without that prestigious qualification. Ditto Harry Truman. I'd rather vote for a candidate for president today, who has demonstrable leadership abilities and a strong record to run on, than an alumnus of Columbia University and Harvard Law School who had...neither of these things. Sorry.
Second, what a revealing argument. In Deans estimation, those who didnt graduate college are unknowledgeable. Could his characterization be any more patronizing? For what its worth, I attended and graduated from college, but do I know more about advising presidents than Karl Rove or entrepreneurism than the late Steve Jobs? For that matter, do I know more about governing than Scott Walker? Hell no. The more one thinks about these things, the more one realizes how practically irrelevant a college degree can sometimes be. Scarborough's right.
Dont get me wrong: a college degree is not nothing. It opens doors of opportunity. But lacking one should not be disqualifying for the presidency -- especially when the constitutional requirements for occupying that office say nothing about obtaining one.
Scott Walker's a smart guy. Those who suggest otherwise are dead wrong and should be called out.
You just have to believe.
-——Lets compare academic records——
that would be a trap.
Consider that Obama is the black spawn of an avowed communist that like anita hill was the product of affirmative action. He has a fantastic academic record that is like the messiah himself, absolute drivel
Some character out here in LaLa Land has his City Council election signs about, stating “Best Educated”.
IMHO, that’s enough reason to NOT vote for him right there.
Educated enough to kick democrats’ asses three straight times in four years..
Educated enough not to make mindless, hateful remarks at
Every single member of the opposing party..
Educated enough not to melt down and squeal like a stuck pig in national TV after losing a primary he was widely expected to win.
Any other inane questions, Dean?
Amazing this asshole was actually someone’s family doctor.
Dean’s intellect is about 18” wide and 1/32” deep.
I’m a high school dropout who dated a Serbian PhD. We had enough in common to spend hours talking about any number of various subjects like language families and their evolution, history, and various sciences.
She says her American counterparts are ignorant, arrogant, and self righteous.
Dean, the abortionist speaketh.
Exactly
But an MD turns the bearer into an arrogant self riteous prick politically.
Howard Dean? Who the heck is that? Oh, right..he's that nut-job from years ago who nobody pays attention to. MORON!!
Howard the urine drinker Dean
So people with no college education are lesser citizens a and therefore unqualified to be Preeident. Can Dean prove the current “president” went to college?
It’s working out pretty good for Bill Gates!!
Ever notice the PhD-driven Priuses or Suburus?
Coexist...they believe the godless and real God and a murderous cult god are the same things at the same time...
They have tarot card reading stickers, mother earth, touch therapy, and even astrology stickers...
These are PhDs...
So who is not smart again?
What was that global warming rant about the earth being 1.3 million time smaller than the sun?
My dad used to call these folks book-smart idiots.
Is there any Conservative that would pass the test for that idiot? All college teaches is how to be a better Marxist and very little else.
Pray America is waking
So the meme has already been passed around. These liberals are so freakin’ obvious. There are SO many people who are great without the college degree: Abraham Lincoln to name one, Rush Limbaugh to name another. A degree is no good if one has an abhorrent lack of common sense.
Sure as hell smarter than Al Gore.
Having a degree explains exactly WHY the U.S. government is in such God awful shape, its those educated idiots with degrees.
There is a rumor that Barack Obama attended collega and even has a college degree or two.
There are some who believe that he is the smartest man to ever be elected president.
We will never know because no college diplomas, college transcripts or school records for Barack Obama have ever been released to the public.
