in obama’s case, there’s simply not enough data.
Woodrow Wilson, now our 2nd worst president (Jonah Goldberg reviewed his writings for one of his columns, the man was deranged) was the only Phd to occupy the Oval Office.
Bet they don't rest until they find some more dirt on Perry ...
JFK was quite the scholar wasn’t he?
And LBJ. I doubt that Nixon was an A student. Ike graduated fairly far down the ranking at West Point. US Grant was near the bottom.
Why haven’t we seen Urkel’s records? Did he even take any courses? Does anyone even recall him in a class?
If it did, McNamara would’ve been the greatest SecDef ever. And Dick Cheney would’ve been the worst VP ever. I don’t think you can make a direct comparison. Al Gore was a dumbass rock in school, a worthless do-nothing VP, and is somehow an environmental expert even though he’s never produced anything but a plagiarized book and a ghost-produced movie on the subject.
As for Bush, I’m more impressed with a guy who was a fighter pilot than Gore, a rich kid who failed at everything and flourished in politics because other people were always blazing the trail for him.
This entire lame ass AnointedIdiot administration is chocked full of academics and they still fail!
Hell no, academic achievement has nothing to do with Oval Office success. One frakin’ idiot who wrote this article. =.=
If I’m so smart why do I find myself in the gutter now?
I’ll take a fellow with COMMON SENSE who LOVES THIS COUNTRY — AND MANIFESTS THAT LOVE IN OFFICE — ANY DAY OF THE WEEK.
There can be no longer be a shred of doubt as to OBOWzos embrace of Marxism. That he is also is a veritable Mulligan Stew of psychological pathologies makes him even MORE dangerous. Even a shrink as bright at Charles Krauthammer has trouble finding enough words to adequately describe what’s going on in the guy’s head.
My take is that he is a rare form of idiot savant whose “gift” is an urge to engage in mindless and continual eloqution and public oratory. His egocentrism and narcissism — probably resulting from having been abandoned first by his father then his mother — found in ALL politicians has reached a far higher level in him than in others and requires him to be on and the center of attention at all times.
(Even MSNBC leftist talker Ed Shultz, fresh from a visit to the White House, reported that Obama has turned the place into a shrine to surprise OBAMA, with portraits of his first year and hopefully, his LAST full year in office EVERYWHERE! Can you say egomaniac?)
Couple that with the problem described by microbiologist P.B. Medawar that
(
) the spread of secondary and latterly tertiary education has created a large population of people, often with well-developed literary and scholarly tastes, who have been educated far beyond their capacity to undertake analytical thought
and you have a formula for the creature known as Obama.
He is as lacking in the ability to think critically as are the voters who put him in office and who now bear full responsibility for the possibly irreparable damage now being done to this country by Obama and his minions.
The bigger problem is that when the veneration by his former devotees fades and, like Hitler in his Berlin bunker, he begins to feel that they are not intelligent enough to appreciate his brilliance, he could become an even more dangerous and destructive creature than he is now.
I cant help but wonder if these so-called black flash-mobs are the leading edge of more anti-white violence to come.
We should know soon.

A college degree does not mean someone is intelligent.
Nothing means anything.
Article filled with irony as we cannot assess our CURRENT president’s academic record in this paradigm...Current prez is a lousy leader, but we don’t know if that is correlated to his academic record.
Imagine Paul Krugman as president. Nuff said.
Harry Truman did not even have a college degree.
To be fair, let’s compare Perry’s to Obama’s transcripts. ;)
It’s amazing that Perry just announcing he’s running, and his Aggie transcript has already been leaked. But has The Won’s, 5 or so years after he announced.
No, sadly it’s not surprising at all, come to think of it.
Bring it on. Let’s make academic achievement an issue in the campaign. Each of the Republican challengers should submit their college transcripts for review so that the voters can compare their records to those of President Obama . . .
. . . oh . . . .
right . . .
Are Obama’s college transcripts even available for comparison? I understood that they were under lock and key. However, I have noted that Obama is barely able to put a coherent sentence together without his teleprompter. Eloquent, he isn’t. Perhaps the libs should re-think this tactic.
I assume the abovementioned critics would be the minions for Romney and Paul. Surely the DemocRAT apparachiks don't want to open THAT can of worms, and cause some curious eyes to want to seek out Obama's hidden transcripts?
If a person is really that smart, they wouldn’t run for the office in the first place.
