The other day we were having a conversation about Mitt Romney and the subject of his education came up. We found out that Mitt Romney holds a bachelor’s degree from Brigham Young University, a juris Doctor from Harvard, and a masters of business administration also from Harvard. In addition Mitt Romney holds 5, yes FIVE, honorary Ph,d’s. What do we know about President Obama? He surrendered his law license in 2008 and all his educational transcripts are under seal so that no one can learn about who he is.

I thought that Obama surrendering his law license was debunked.

What is Obama hiding by sealing his school records?

How many economics classes did Obama flunk?

Why is Obama hiding behind his sealed school records?

Are Obama’s sealed school records more or less transparent than his Executive Order to protect AG Holder?

Romney has more degrees than a thermometer.

Sorry but honorary Ph.D.s count for nothing.

Sorry, but honorary degrees aren't worth crap. You show up at a graduation, give a speech and get an honorary degree. Would you want someone who gave a speech at a medical school graduation performing surgery on you based on his honorary medical degree? < /pet peeve mode>

Everytime a person speaks at a commencement the college awards them an honorary doctorate. Academically it is meaningless. Romney has one more degree than Bombo, a Masters in Business. There are questions about Bombo’s record but basing it on degrees is silly. Bombo has a doctorate for every time he gave a commencement at a school that awards doctorates as not all do.

The amazing thing about this is that he did the two degrees at Harvard at the same time and graduated with honors.

The honorary degrees are nice but mean little. They are a gift from the university to who ever they wish. Mainly, it often reflects the persons donating money/time to that particular college. Which does not surprise me, since Romney has a history of donating HUGE amounts of money to good causes.

I wonder how many on here, who like to take swipes at such a person, have donated their own money/time to worthy causes.

This is the rock bottom reason that Romney won the debate and will win again. He actually knows what he is talking about from a vast reservoir of knowledge gained by experience and education. You can’t fake these things!!! It comes through and Obama will lose again without the teleprompters - even with plants asking questions and a completely biased moderator.

.... Romney is an open book.

Where are Romney's school records? Sealed just like Obama's and those of most other politicians. And Romney is not exactly an open book.

I think honorary Ph.D.'s are usually given more for worldly accomplishments rather than academic intelligence, although Romney certainly has earned them more than most. It is impressive that Romney earned a JD and MBA at Harvard simultaneously, although this was the expected outcome of a joint program. Obama apparently graduated with higher honors from Harvard Law.

Just on the first page of a Google search I found Obama has received honorary doctorates from Knox College, Northwestern, Michigan, Wesleyan and Notre Dame. And Michelle has a couple too. Interestingly, Arizona State refused to give him one because
"It's our practice to recognize an individual for his body of work, somebody who's been in their position for a long time," Sharon Keeler, an ASU spokeswoman, told The Associated Press. "His body of work is yet to come. That's why we're not recognizing him with a degree at the beginning of his presidency."

So maybe an honorary doctorate from Arizona State is worth slightly more than other honorary degrees.

(posted mainly so I could include ASU's smack-down of Obama)

Which probably puts him several short of Omaumau.

Honorary degrees aren’t squat. Count them and you’d be giving lots of bad Democrat pols way too much credit.

Neither Barry nor Romney are currently practicing lawyers with law licenses. AFAIK, Romney in fact never practiced or, maybe, had a law license.

This isn’t the way to go after the Marxist Muslim.

“Honorary Degrees”

Seriously? You are counting those?
