Why doesn’t he just take the 5 courses and get the stupid degree to shut up the idiots.

“Why doesn’t he just take the 5 courses and get the stupid degree to shut up the idiots.”

While he was there for 3 1/2 years, I think the contention is that he has quite a bit more than one semester to go (though to my knowledge, neither he nor anyone else has officially said how much more he had to complete). He was very heavily involved in campus politics and freely admits that school was not his priority at the time.

That said, he’s had 20 years. If he was truly interested in finishing, he could have done so long ago, no matter how much he has left to go.

It is idiotic for a man to waste his time on 5 courses for no reason just so he can symbolically apologize to his enemies for not having done it previously.

A college degree is worthless to a man who has already succeeded in his trade.

The free publicity he’s receiving from this attack/revelation has been worth millions

Exactly. Quietly take the courses and finish.

Because appeasing one’s enemies is not a good thing to do.

He doesn’t need it and they would just find another thing to whine about.

He doesn’t need it and a big SO WHAT? is a perfect response.

I like the way he turns it back on them.

Because having a college degree isn't a requirement to become president of the US.

The current president has proven that brains and balls are required not an ivy league education. Obummer has the latter but woefully demonstrates he doesn't have the former. Walker, on the other hand, has stood up to bullying by unions and the dim political machine...all without a college degree.

He probably cannot find five courses in his field devoid of new age professorial blabber. I give him some credit for spending ‘away from school’ time for being out in the world. There are a number of people like Gates who chose to forego college degrees to be in the real world. I do believe there are some fields such as science/engineering and medicine/doctors that need professional guidance; business and societal shaping not so much.

That’s not what it’s about - this is a leftist religious test.

I think he said some of the classes weren’t offered online.
