[emphasis added by bubba]I agree. His likeability was the major contributing factor to his elections, not his ideology. McCain and Romney lacked likeable personalities and displayed moments of significant poor judgement in my opinion. (Not that Obama makes a better president, but he is a master campaigner).
`you would think that with the strength of connections to protect him in that degree they would also be able to buy him a diploma worked for dubya
oxymoron much
[emphasis added by bubba]
c'mon
go for it
he's a master debater
The curriculum for the degree is set by the faculty of the department (or higher up, too) to complete a prescribed course of study that satisfies their level of minimal study to show higher level education in that area.
Would you hire someone as mechanical engineer who never graduated with his degree and decided not to take statics and dynamics?
Further, would you say someone has a high school education if they dropped out after 9th grade? Of course not. "Has an education" _in "X" implies they took (and passed) the patently obvious and requisite courses to fully attain that education.
He took a bunch of college courses, but he didn't complete a degree. What field is he educated in specifically at a collegiate level?
I think those of highly educated persuasion will find it hard to take orders from him.
Also, college relationships last through careers and can help network of people to facilitate legislation and programs.
Lack of that makes you a clear outsider.
I know I wouldn't take orders from someone without a degree.
Our expectations and access to education have greatly changed during the seventy years since Truman first became president.
During Truman's era, only one in twenty Americans would compete their bachelors degree. Being in the top five percent of educated people would be a great asset to have for the leader of the free world, but it's not a compulsory expectation. Today, however, not having a degree puts you in the bottom two thirds in education attainment. I expect more from a leader.

This doesn't sound in keeping with Atlas Shrugged's message.that's easy to fix, you're fired. go work somewhere else.
if I owned a business any moron employee who talked like that would be given a box of tissues and a pink slip.
let the eggheads refuse to work, we can always find more eggheads who will comply with their supervisor.
No, but it's yet another reason to think that he's an unfit presidential candidate.so you would actively work against a proven leader who's successful with many accomplishments because you expect a fancy piece of paper with a cursive title?
talk about shallow.

The book's not worth reading. Scott Walker isn't worth voting for. Check back for more single sentence reviews!never read the book, don't care whatever reference you're making
depends, I'm tired of academics, I may not like Walker's politics, but he's a self made man, I would probably vote for him over Hillary, certainly over Warren.
some day the democrats will get smart and start nominating people like Dingell or Howard Dean etc and stop nominating these urban academics
well I can dream anyway.

academic supremacists make me giggle.
He has a college education, he lacks the degree, though.
This man has a college degree and is in government.
How about Mark Zuckerberg, Michael Dell, John D. Rockefeller, Henry Ford, Sheldon Adleson, John Makey and Matt Mulenweg. They didn't finish college either.
So are you saying that he spent some time in college, but didn't have what it took to actually complete a program?
Bachelors degrees usually take four years to complete. A presidential term also takes four years. Hmm.
yeah, he left Marquette one semester shy of earning his degree...

I considered that but to my knowledge, dubya didn't violate any major school policies like cheating or something. I don't know what transpired there with Walker other than those who are in a position to know make it very clear that the topic will not be discussed.
Is it an issue for you. I like him, but that is a sticking point.
...They can learn everything they need to learn from home study, the library, and other alternative sources.
That seems foolish. What was he reasoning?
