The idea that Bill and Hillary have 50 years of education between them is a lie lie lie lie lie.
BILL
====

  K-12: 13 years
Oxford:  4 years
  Yale:  4 years
        --------
        21 years (BILL SUBTOTAL)

HILLARY
=======

       K-12: 13 years
Wells Alley:  4 years (She was still a Republican for part of
this.)
       Yale:  4 years (This is where Hillary met Bill.)
             --------
             21 years (HILLARY SUBTOTAL)

BILL SUBTOTAL + HILLARY SUBTOTAL = TOTAL CLINTON TOTAL
     21 years +         21 years = 42 years

This is the same as fake sniper fire, fake extended hand of
unity, other things.

4. Um, law school is 3 years normally unl;ess you are too porr
and have to work while going to law school (which I did). I didn't think Yale had a program for poor people like me. I think their law school time was 3 years.

5. That may have been the case.
I just went by subtracting their undergraduate graduation year from their law school graduation year and assumed they were in law school that whole time when they might not have been.

6. That equals the number of years that Barack and Michelle have
together, isn't it? :shrug:

Thank you for clearing up the fuzzy math.

7. That you would even care about such a stupid thing
much less spend time calculating it, is hysterical.

8. More than likely, it is 40, not even 42...
I doubt there was public school kindergarten when either of them were of the appropriate age

Maybe they are counting sunday school?

13. You are correct; I made a mistake.
He went to Georgetown until 1963-1968, then went to Oxford (probably for a year) and got his law degree from Yale in 1973. That would explain the extra year before getting the law degree, but still adds up to the same number of years.
