Screaming Dean is right ... college drop-outs never amount to anything or contribute to society!

Were he to become president,” Howard Dean jeered this morning on MSNBC,Wisconsin’s Scott Walker “would be the first president in many generations that did not have a college degree.” This, Dean concluded was a disgrace. “He’s never finished,”he spluttered,and “the issue here is not just an issue of dancing around the question of evolution for political reasons,the issue is how well educated is this guy? And that’s a problem.”
Thus was one of the most successful politicians of recent years condemned for lack of a certificate......
......Sorry, Mr. Walker,you have the wrong colored dot on your forehead to run for higher office....
....This being a democratic republic,it is dangerous in and of itself for our elites to condemn as unsuitable for office those they consider to be “less educated” than themselves. But it is downright repugnant to watch certain members of the journalistic class meditating on the question of whether a man who has been infinitely more successful than themselves should be deemed ineligible for want of their preferred credentials. It is difficult,too,not to divine a touch of caste-system snobbery in the initial inquiry. As higher education becomes increasingly fetishized,those who do not possess the right letters after their names will be increasingly in danger of marginalization-even, it should be said, when they are successful and happy and full of self-assurance. If Scott Walker is the nominee,there is no doubt his detractors will play as subtly but as brutally as they can on his being a “dropout,” nor that the professional class that determines the shape of the debates will mutter in irritation that he is not one of them. If he has any sense about him,he will refuse to entertain the premise. “Sure I didn’t finish college,” he will say. “But look where I am now. This is America, goddamnit.”

A college education didn’t seem to teach bam bam much. Let alone butt-buddy Biden
OTOH - what good is a college education if you don’t use it like some politico’s .....
Where in the constitution does it say the president has any education qualifications? Or any politician for that matter?
let’s see odungo’s grades
In the post Reagan era, every single President has had an Ivy League degree - and they’ve been a steaming pile of suck-ass.
Attack. Always attack.
Screaming Dean is right ... college drop-outs never amount to anything or contribute to society!
President G. W. Bush had a degree from Harvard and the MSM continuously ridiculed him and called him stupid.
Barack Hussein Obama is all the proof I need to know that a “college diploma” is absolutely no help to a president. Barry has diplomas and he’s still the biggest dumbass to ever come down the pike.
Where are Obongo’s transcripts?
I respect the Governor’s accomplishments and hold nothing against him about not finishing. OTOH, I told people for years that the college degree was merely the piece of paper that keeps the door from closing on you. It’s the price of admission and consideration for many jobs. It only proves that you could persevere to achieve a particular result. It is no guarantee of either success or smarts.
Yeah, and look at what the Harvard educated nitwit we have has done.
I think that Brian Williams never finished college either. You don’t need a degree to tell tall tales.
Nearly ALL the elitists who have engineered the mess in which we now find ourselves were COLLEGE GRADUATES, many with so-called advanced degrees.
Hell, one of the worst of the lot, Wilson, was a F**KING PROFESSOR and gave us the FEDERAL RESERVE, THE INCOME TAX/IRS AND THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS, setting the stage for the worse than useless UN.
Go SCOTT. Kick some ass and take names!
I'd rather have Walker.
yup, all I have ever seen is a report card from Indonesia.
Just think how bad it would be now if the Azz-wipe in Chief wasn't as well educated as he's supposed to be.
Do I need it...? /s
What’s going on here? All of a sudden its big news that Walker didn’t finish college. And now many liberals are weighing in with disdain at him not having finished college.
So did they hand out talking points that liberals need to belittle those who didnt go to college or finish college?
Do they realize that a big majority of Americans never graduated from college?
I wonder how this talking point will fly with people.
If this is such a major issue why was this not brought up in his campaigns for governor?
