In my area the place to go is the Kennedy School at Harvard. Relatively easy to get into if you’re connected and have the cash. Harvard Business along with the other schools are a different matter, but if you’ve got connections, cash and a reasonable undergraduate record, the Kennedy School is for you.

I believe that was Hillary’s senior thesis as an undergraduate, not a master’s thesis.

The two greatest Presidents, George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, did not attend college.

(Which of them is #1 and which is #2 depends on whether you are a Southerner or a Northerner.)

He could easily say, I’ve studied Alinsky too. And beat him.

I was hoping he'd say "If this is what a college degree gets you, wouldn't you rather try something different for a change?"

Considering what Walker has done for the state of Wisconsin compared to what the college degree ninnies every where else have destroyed, perhaps it should be a prerequisite that politicians only have a high school diploma.

Just because someone has a sheepskin in a frame doesn't mean they know how to pour piss out of a boot without the instructions being on the heel of the boot.

You are correct. I didn't recall that her school had senior imdhgraduate thesis.

All the better for Walker.

Since we have tried affirmative action and on-the-job training a President without the trappings of a college indoctrination would be the best thing to happen to this country. I would really like a President that thinks instead of feeling.

Walker could blame it on lawyers. "No more lawyers for President."

Modern Presidents with law degrees: Nixon, Ford, Clinton, Obama.

I can excuse Ford because nobody voted him into office.

I have spent the majority of my adult life working in academia.

There is a very big gap between intelligent and educated and being educated does not guarantee that one is intelligent.

Oh, the stories I could tell!

Huh.

2 things.

I’m pretty sure I read somewhere that Walker plans to finish his degree in the immediate near future. Thereby making this conversation moot.

Next. Funny how many FReepers here are snarking at Ivy Leaguers. They need to look at Ted Cruz’s bio.

Lincoln did well without a degree—maybe we need a common man for a change—not an over educated egg head. It might be a bit refreshing to NOT be lectured too by someone who thinks he is smarter than the rest of us.

He can. We have CEOs of Fortune 500s with no degree. We have Rush Limbaugh with no degree. Who knows what other media people don’t have one. (I know Brian Williams has 7 PhDs)

And we have never seen proof of Obama’s Columbia degree. Where is it? His forgers are lazy. No one remembers having him in their class. He was a non entity for his last two years of undergraduate, yet got into Hahvahd Law. Maybe on a Saudi Scholarship....

Exactly! Barack Obama’s first american passport was conferred upon him out of expediency when he was a USA senator, and people died to cover that up.

Hillary Clinton’s master’s thesis was on Saul Alinsky. Haw will that fly against no college degree at all?

No more calls, we have our winner!
