Obama: Magna Cum Laude from Harvard Law School

[rurallib]

Clinton: Valedictorian at Wellesley
McCain: # 894 put of 899 at the Naval Academy
Conclusion?
Obviously the Naval Academy is much, much tougher that Harvard Law School or Wellesley. Had McCain gone to those fluffy schools he would have done just as well as Obama or Clinton.

McCain: Just like W only worse.

1. But McCain never went AWOL- you have to give him that over the chimp.

But we do have smart candidates- wow!

2. Not summa?

Slacker!

4. Obama : Harvard Law Review - it's the very very best

6. I don't put much stock in prestigious degrees. After all POS Bush himself went to Harvard and Yale.

Obama's a great candidate on his own merits and accomplishments, whether he went to Harvard or Chicago Community College.

McCain is a grouchy old war-loving asshole.


That's all I need to know.

8. Don't forget: Obama went to OCCIDENTAL COLLEGE!!!

My alma mater! I mean, sure, he transfered to the Ivy Leagues after two years, but STILL--

The only other politician who came from there is Jack friggin Kemp. Just to think about President Obama, giving the Graduating speech in 2009...

It'd be the biggest thing that's happened to my little school in years.

10. Not just Harvard Law Review but PRESIDENT of the Harvard Law Review!

That's as prestigious as it gets.

[StClone]

11. Bush got a Degree

Other than that there is no comparison between Hill, B.O. and any true scholar.

7. Heh-heh, hehe hehe hehe

Butt-head: "He said 'cum'"

Beavis: "Heh-heh, hehe hehe hehe- YEAH! cum! Heh-heh, hehe hehe hehe Heh-heh, hehe hehe hehe"

Butt-head: "Settle down, Beavis!"

9. Dammit Beavis!

12. Obama vs. McCain, and The Four Stories of American Life

There are four essential American stories. The first two are about hope; the second two are about fear. Obama has reclaimed the former. His challenge -- especially when McCain is his opponent -- is to figure out how to reclaim the latter.

Isn't that what the election will be about?

Obama = Hope

versus

McCain = Fear
