Scott Walker has come from out of nowhere (if you weren’t paying attention), survived three elections in four years as a Republican in a blue state, and is making waves with statements and policies that drive the Left insane. However, there is one thing that makes Walker different from other potential presidential candidates – he never finished college. And, the college life of a presidential candidate didn’t seem to concern the media in 2008 when no one decided to vet Obama’s collegiate career or figure out what the hell he might have done (aside from drugs!) in college. In 2016, it suddenly matters.

It’s funny. Barack Obama had absolutely no accomplishments prior to running for office, and we were told nothing of his educated life by a media whose job is supposed to be informing the public. Scott Walker, meanwhile, dropped out of college, gave a reason as to why, and it warrants a full investigation by the very same media that protected Obama’s past. The media, once again is showing a distinct bias, and will make no change no matter who calls it out or how loudly it is called out.

I fully understand and even approve of the need to vet candidates who are running for the highest office in the land, or any office for that matter. The public needs to know the character of the person who will represent their will. But, the media chose not to do that for Barack Obama, and they are maliciously slinging mud against a man who hasn’t officially announced it yet. The bias is plain as day and, sadly, it’s unsurprising.

If they can’t find anything they will make it up. Maybe there is a future for Brian Williams here.
“Barack Obama had absolutely no accomplishments prior to running for office, and we were told nothing of his educated life by a media whose job is supposed to be informing the public.”
That point has got to be raised and driven home every time Gov. Walker is scrutinized.
and Nobama’s college years?
I found it especially infuriating when they were suddenly interested in the eligibility of Cruz based on his birthplace.
Right, I know the feeling.
There is ONE rule for Conservatives and another rule for Liberals.... or more accurately, NO rule for Liberals
In addition to no accomplishments, Obama was an avowed Marxist as well as drug user in college.
I agree: reciprocity for their shameless backing of a non-entity is what needs to be done.
It’s called The Palin Treatment. It worked once. Expect it from now on.
Truman is the most recent U.S. president who had not earned a college degree. When his high school friends went off to the state university in 1901, Truman enrolled in Spalding's Commercial College, a Kansas City business school, but stayed for one semester. In 1923–25 he took night courses towards a law degree at the Kansas City Law School (now the University of Missouri–Kansas City School of Law), but dropped out after losing his government job.

As were and are most journalists. Isn’t Marxism wonderful?
