Let us say that you test an IQ of 160 ... you have multiple Ph.D. degrees (earned) in physics and engineering ... you have several highly desirable patents, on which you earn millions in royalties ... you have founded and sold off several successful manufacturing firms ...

And you're a Christian, a constitutionalist, and a conservative.

Therefore you're an unaccomplished, unintelligent, uneducated, science-hating fool.

Just ask the Brian Williams.

Ack! Graduated in 1915. Became superintendent in 1919.

The rest is correct.

Who’d you rather have as President, a guy like Scott Walker who missed the final semester of college, or one (allegedly) with multiple degrees like B. Hussein Obama?

Exactly. He successfully completed his first three years which means he would have completed his fourth if he had stayed. So it’s not like there’s reason to doubt that he’s “college material”.

IIRC, Brian doesn’t have a college degree, and neither did the late Peter Jennings.

I don’t know my exact number, but I can join MENSA, yet I wouldn’t feel qualified for high office for many reasons. I’ve been close to presidents of several countries and many flag officers and I understood that whatever they had, I didn’t have and might never be able to develop. I can’t describe it, but anyone who has worked at that level will instinctively know what I mean.

Let them atack.

This was not an issue in Wisconsin. It will probaly help him with most voters. Educated voters know that he has street smarts and common sense and the uninformed voters may identify with him.

I agree.

I’d love to see him adopt the
NO LAWYERS
NO IVY LEAGUERS
slogan

Let’s have our first NON Ivy POTUS since Reagan!

I do not think Dwight Eisenhower had a college degree.
Per Wikipedia:
Eisenhower later served as junior varsity football coach and cheerleader. At West Point he played football. He graduated in the middle of the class of 1915, which became known as "the class the stars fell on", because 59 members eventually became general officers.

I’m not convinced that Obama is a Harvard grad, so this argument is useless.

how well educated is this guy?”

He’s educated enough to hammer and crush the union goons multiple times and survive their never ending assaults.

Then look at the college degreed crowd in DC and the results of their labors and one can only conclude that just maybe content of character trumps everything else.

Neither my son or his wife went to college, even for one day. They are both high-level executives for a major U.S. company and they make a ton of money.

My brother is the same; he is a captain for a major airline and makes a couple hundred thousand dollars a year. He became a farrier (horse shoe-er) to put himself through flight school. Without the degree it was more difficult for him to get hired by a major airline, but after he had a dozen or so years flying for regional airlines; he got hired. He is one of the most hard working person I have ever known.

Neither my wife or I have degrees and have both done well also. Until I retired I was working as one of the leaders of a hazmat team which required knowledge, technical understanding and judgment to make the proper decisions in a timely manner.

I think at one time having a degree actually did mean something, but as our colleges and universities changed their mission from teaching marketable knowledge and skills to indoctrinating impressionable youth with leftist ideas the value has decreased as the costs increased exponentially. I think that many more people are deciding these days that value of what they are being taught is not worth the cost.

Yet I made a 6 figure income for 15+ years before I went back and got my associates. I maintained a 4.0 and wondered why I was having to do high school work (graduated HS in ‘82). During my efforts, I realized just how “dumbed-down” the curriculum had become. I will go on to finish my bachelors and possibly obtain my masters. Since I am taking my time and using my employer’s tuition assistance, I will end up with a degree and no loans.

Perhaps as the class level increases, I will learn something new. So far, I can’t say that I have.

My old college advisor spoke of people who did not reason, nor understand what they were reading. That was 1984.

The lack of a college degree really slowed down Bill Gates and Paul Allen at Microsoft.

He should have asked the media to explain their version of evolution than tell them whether he believed that or not.

No answer he gives will suit them. He should just mess with them. The goal should be to not win the argument. The goal should be to make the media go in circles until they are tired of looking foolish.

Yep.

In any case, to the left all conservatives are losers, regardless of their accomplishments.
