Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker is dismissing "elitist" critics who say his lack of a college degree could work against him should he run for president.
Last week, former Democratic National Committee chairman Howard Dean brought up Walker's lack of education, saying, “The issue is, how well educated is this guy?”
"I worry about people being president of the United States not knowing much about the world and not knowing much about science," Dean said on MSNBC. "I worry about that."

This ought to get interesting. Though his response already was pretty damn good.
He could really make good use of this criticism.
It’s the college grads who have gotten the country in the condition it’s in today. High time for a realist to fix things.
Howard, I worry about grown men that screech at the top of their lungs trying to get elected. Yes, you Howard.
Heck, even the scientists don’t understand “science.”
And you think Obama understands global warming? Absolutely not. He is just parroting what the left are saying
How many "science" course do all those liberals take when getting their English majors?
To be a primary player for either party, there ought to be a ‘test’:
1. In twenty seconds, explain the infield fly-rule.
2. What’s half of one-ton?
3. Name four states west of the Mississippi.
4. What voting rights does a dead guy have?
5. If your car ran out of gas in East Saint Louis at midnight, what’s your priorities in life?
so someone who study arts at college is automatically assumed to know a lot about science and the world
The more the left nit picks and complains, the more I like Scott Walker. He may end up being my candidate.
I'd like Obama to give a dissertation on global warming.
Very little correlation between a college degree and intelligence. Exhibit A: Marie Harf.
US Presidents without college degrees: Andrew Jackson, Martin Van Buren, Zachary Taylor, Millard Fillmore, Abraham Lincoln, Andrew Johnson, Grover Cleveland, Harry Truman
Dems and Bush supporters are trying hard to find a narrative to use against Walker, because Walker seems to be soaring since his Iowa speech.
That ripples through the Dems and Bush supporters. They need to knock him out early. They are just having a difficult time doing it.
Of course not. No much science in Political Science degrees, degrees in Communications, Minority and Women’s studies, history, etc. etc. etc.
Obviously Dean is an idiot.
.
Walker is a missile to clear the way for Cruz.

Oh, did you know Dean have medical degree. I’ve always wondered how someone who could do so well at school yet know so much that is wrong
Re: #5 - a gun and a good pair of running shoes?
Don’t forget George Washington, whose formal classroom education ended with the equivalent of grade school.
Is that a fact?
Leaving a well regarded college after three years hardly impugns Walker’s knowledge or intellect. How much can one learn in one year after all. But I would think the folks here on FR would be more concerned by the fact that except for a stint in marketing at the Red Cross, Walker’s entire professional career has been in elective politics. You expect that kind of CV from, say, Gerry Nadler, but not from a torchbearer of Tea Party values.
