McCain
- Bachelors from Naval Academy rank 5th from the bottom of his class of 800.

- Juris Doctor (JD) from Syracuse University College of Law.

Obama
- BA in International Relations form Columbia University.
- Juris Doctor (J.D.) Magna Cum Laude from Harvard in 1991. (That’s top of his class at arguably the best school in the country/world.) While at Harvard he was also president of the Harvard Law Review.

Harvard was already going downhill in the 1950s.

These days, grade inflation there makes State Universities look tame in comparison.

The Ivy League is not what it once was and Yale Law blows away Harvard Law any day of the week. Even Stanford Law beats it.

BTW, Magna Cum Laude does not mean "top of the class". That would be maxima cum laude. At Harvard, "Magna Cum Laude" means a 3.3 GPA. Top of the class? Not even close.

We are in complete agreement. Like I said, the Idaho scool sports journalism is today's gold standard.

How do we know? We can see how thousands of foreigners, Chinese, Indians, are waiting in line to register there.

Actually, not. Affirmative Action taints the whole process. We don't know if Obama actually qualified to get into Harvard or not. Also, Affirmative Action works its way into the grading process at Harvard so we also don't know if that had anything to do with his GPA or not.

A 3.3 GPA doesn't impress me. Heck, it doesn't even beat ME, so by that standard, Obama isn't brighter than I am.

If Obama had real management or executive experience, I'd be impressed. He has none. Zip, zero, nada, none.

Sarah Palin has more executive experience than Obama and Biden combined and therefore is more qualified for President than Obama is, if you want to go down that road.

Heck, I'm more qualified than Obama based on a resume' of management and executive experience and I'm a decade younger than he is.

USNA is also harder just to get into than Harvard is since each graduating class is only 1000 persons.

McCain only got into USNA because his father and grandfather were admirals.

Just like Obama only got into Harvard Law school thanks to affirmative action, and Dumbya got into Yale and Harvard business school thanks to his father and grandfather's wealth, power, and connections.

None of these guys are exactly great talents who made it in life through merit or personal achievement.

Did Sarah Palin pull favors to get into an ivy league school? No she is regular folk and that is refreshing.

This choice of McSame speaks loudly of his own selfishness and fundamental frivolousness.

You are foolish if you believe that Palin’s “inexperience” and Obama’s “inexperience” are equivalent. Obama is quite obviously an impressive man with extraordinary qualities of organization, discipline and leadership. I see nothing in Palin’s record to suggest that she has any such qualities.

He is a man who has spent his adult life thinking serious thoughts about serious issues and having serious conversations about them with other serious, well-informed people; while Palin quite as clearly has done none of those things. He was the president of the Harvard Law Review; she was the point guard on her high school basketball team.

He has surrounded himself in his campaign with world-class people; and, I doubt that she has even met a half-dozen world-class people in her lifetime.

I am confident that Obama will surround himself with experienced, informed, competent advisors and that he would make no world-destroying blunders. I cannot say the same about Palin and, in view of what this choice reveals about McCain’s character and judgment, I cannot say the same of him either.

Obama had a chance to vote for a corruption bill but he passed. Sarah Palin has demonstrated that she will fight corruption in her own party. You seem kind of snobby looking down on her accomplishments. It makes you look anti woman. I'm not saying you are anti woman. I'm just saying your comments would be perceived that way.

What has Obama accomplished while in the senate? Zip, nada, nothing. He just goes around the country giving speeches that I must admit are pretty good.

He will not end the war in Iraq. He said that he couldn't guarantee that by the end of his first term troops would be gone.

I think you are projecting what you want Obama to be on him. Something he is not.

We conservatives are also probably doing the same with Sarah.

But at least she is gunuine common folk.

And for political expediency he still comes out in favor of murdering babies in the womb or out of the womb.

He was the president of the Harvard Law Review;

But he knew so little about the constitution that he thinks there is no second amendment. He also believes in the pretend right to murder your children.

Elitist drivel. Obama wouldn't give someone like you the time of day. Sarah is common folk just like you.

You just made the case against Obama as a change agent, Mike, and labeled him as an insider.

World-class people like William Ayers and Tony Rezko? Those kinds of world-class people?

Or do you mean the same "world-class" idiots responsible for the mess we're in right now?

Which one is it, because its one or the other.

A fisherman knows more about how to fix what ails us than these so-called experts who are the reason we're in a mess and the reason we're not likely to get out of it.
