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 says much more about McCain than it does about Palin, What it says about McCain is that he is more interested in politics than policy, more interested in campaigning than governing, tactical when he should be strategic, and reckless when he should be considered.

He is as big a gamble as president as Palin is as vice-president. This decision was about gut, about politics, about cynicism, and about vanity. It's just like something Bush would do.

Be truthful Mike. Her pick worries you guys on the left doesn't it. You can see her resonating with the American people. That is why you try to tear her down when you know so little about her. It will backfire. You folks will say she is against abortion (not you in particular but the democratic party). That will make the base happy. Many women who wouldn't have voted for McCain will now vote for him. I think it is checkmate.

"Be truthful Mike. Her pick worries you guys on the left doesn't it."

You are the one who seems rattled here. You don't even end your above quoted question with a question mark, and are sputtering around the forum trying to justify a crusade for this woman based on a Pro-Life alignment when the head of that ticket is only Pro-Life long enough to try to fool fundies and other crusaders against abortion to vote for him.

We see all the death, maiming and refugees pro-life Bush has created with his illegal and immoral wars, and he shows it takes more then the articulated right position during a campaign to actually do something that is genuinely pro-life.

As far as panic goes, I don't have that, sorry to dissapoint you. I expect a Democratic win in November, and don't think this desparate gambit by McCain will change that from happening.
