Weirdly, though, not much is made of McCains dullness - I'm sure it would be so mean and rude to mention that even though it's okay to trash Obama all day long.
Seriously, you have a guy with a priveledged upbringing who brags about how he didn't take his education or his military duties very seriously because he was such a rebellious little maverick. Then, you have a guy who came from the working poor and struggled and sacrificed to get a stellar education which he took very seriously (b/c it wasn't just given to him) and graduated among the top.
People who don't think that matters I would guess aren't exactly the sharpest knife in the drawer themselves, either.How far can the educational difference between Obama and McCain affect the out come of this election?
There are many educated people in prison but they made wrong choices.
I don't care if Obama is the smartest person on the planet, If he hangs out with terriost, supports radical things like "whites are the enemy" supports abortion, gun bans %26amp; Homosexual Education in the classroom.
I'm sure Bill Aires out qualifies them on a educational scale, but who wants a terrorist in the white house. Knowledge can corrupt, with it comes greed, power %26amp; biased opinions. It's more about the path you choose in life.

How far can the educational difference between Obama and McCain affect the out come of this election?Let's see. With America facing historic debt, 2 wars, stumbling health care, a weakened dollar, all-time high prison population, mortgage crises, bank foreclosures, etc.

Now, which team would you hire ?
Hopefully, Obama's intellectual capacity gets him into the office. He actually understands what is going on and what he is talking about, and he speaks to his audiences like they are human beings. He respects all of our abilities to understand the situation and take action.
McCain, like any good Republican candidate since William F. Buckley took over, only says and does what he is told. He clearly does not understand what is going on in terms of structural causes and flaws. He only sees things in a superficial way, and his only goal is to "out-patriotize" and "out-middle-class" Obama.
Obama sees the forest, McCain only sees the trees right in front of him.
How far can the educational difference between Obama and McCain affect the out come of this election?Apparently you are either very young or have not bothered to look at past administrations. There is nothing new in the Obama plan. It is a repackaging of the same tired liberal principle which fails miserably when applied. I have never disparaged Obama's level of education. I have stated plainly that his plans have been tried with mostly miserable results and no amount of attempted educational elitism by his supporters will change this basic fact.How far can the educational difference between Obama and McCain affect the out come of this election?
Noone has tried socialism before, are you living under a rock!!! Cuba, N. Korea, China, Europe, etc. Socialism has been tried as has communism. National Healthcare was Hillary's plan and has been used elsewhere. Spread the Wealth was said by Fidel Castro , not exactly a great role model. What exactly are these great ideas that Obama came up with on his own! Even the surge idea , he took from McCain. Bush went to Yale ..so by that account all the liberals must love him and think he is a great President LOL.
I think it has everything to do with Obama being a truly self-made American success story. Mixed race, college scholarships, world traveled, understands IT and blackberries, working class his whole life until recently. He 'gets' the everyday challenges that most of us face.
McCain on the other hand... from a prominent military family, stubborn and temperamental throughout adulthood, married into massive wealth, technologically challenged. Not exactly like most of us.
Their personal experiences shape their policy decisions and priorities.
Now who do you think is going to care about the same things you do?How far can the educational difference between Obama and McCain affect the out come of this election?
Obama's been pumping new and radical socialist ideas for almost two decades and none of them have ever worked anywhere.
Get it? He's an idea man. He fronts hopes and dreams and gets large amounts of money for his inspiring speeches.
He was wrong to vote against reigning in Fannie and Freddie. He was wrong to vote against the surge that has worked in Iraw. He is wrong on Iran (which the French President called him "utterly immature" "empty" and "arrogant" for. He's ignorant on Colombia.
McCain's an Academy graduate with tremendous congressional and international and military educations.
Obama looks like a school boy bluffing his way through everything with catchy phrases and puffing out his chest.
You apparently had a educational struggle. Here's what happened when things were tried that you think were never tried......
%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;Despite the fact that he enjoyed a Congress composed of a House majority of 292-143, and a Senate majority of 62-38,
%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt; anger of the troops that followed the botched “hostage rescue” attempt in Iran, in 1979. had been cutting and slashing the military budget since the day he took the oath of office.
%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt; was imbued both with a hefty dose of white liberal guilt and a childish and na?ve outlook towards our enemies abroad.
%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt; position on abortion is more variously conjugated than French irregular verbs”, “One of the three or four phoniest men I ever met.” Chris Matthews of MSNBC later characterized Carter as “sincerely insincere”.
%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt; To appease them, he began to acquiesce to larger spending increases. The federal deficit subsequently boomed, from 40 billion in fiscal 1979, to 73 billion by 1980.
%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt; began to embrace the socialist definition of “human rights”, namely that social and economic rights (such as housing and health care) took precedence over traditional American values such as the intrinsic rights of free individuals.
Sound Familiar? It's all Jimmy Carter.........and Obama is ranked more liberal than Jimmy.
Extraordinary ideas???? Where is YOUR education? Those same ideas have been tried many times! Look at Russia, Cuba, and China. Think it worked there? How did Obama get his education? He says his single mother struggled and so did his grandmother. Yet he went to Harvard, then he took a $12,000 a year job at ACORN, took a trip to Kenya, then went to Yale Law School. Where did that money come from???? Hmmmm. If you haven't figured out that one yet then shame on you.
McCain is like most of the people in this country. They had to actually work while going to school. Grades suffer but the education is there. Experience is there. Obviously those without education or experience can't see that.
I have just this to say to you:
Look up www.inrich.com which is the link for our local Newspaper The Richmond Times Dispatch and look in the editorial section this morning for the article about McCain and you will clearly see what the difference is between the two and the answer is simple, just like the article states:
Vote McCain!
Vote McCain!
Vote McCain!
They have different types of educations. Obama could NEVER make it through the Naval Academy like John McCain did. He couldn't even pass the background check to get accepted.
What is better for America, a socialistic intellectual who has never done anything of value for the country, or a warrior who has given his adult life in service of this great country?
Intelligence is not required to put up your fist to fight, but it is required when you want to handle sensitive situations in a diplomatic fashion.
Everyone is born with different intelligent capacities. I think the difference will boil down to how they both of them would resolve foreign relation issues. So, with one candidate, you're face with fighting a war that would NEVER end (Fighting the war on terrorism is like fighting the war on drugs), and the other will try to take a more diplomatic approach, someone who can strategize to secure our safety without risking thousands of American lives.
Probably not at all, unfortunately. Intelligence is something that is needed in this country someone who can think on their feet. Who has enough class to respect others opinions and reason. Someone who can bring the country out of this mess by getting us to work together. Someone who doesn't throw stones just to throw stones. Someone who can handle the troubles this country has through hard work and concentrated effort.
In case there is a doubt that would be Sen/Pres. Obama
The Titanic was built by PROFESSIONALS...
Noah's ARK by Amateurs...
Michelle OBAMA - has had THE VERY BEST that AMERICA has to offer, yet... she's proud of AMERICA for the FIRST TIME... when her husband is NOMINATED.
Education doesn't promote COMMON SENSE.
How can you give a TAX BREAK to 95% of the population when 45% of the population doesn't pay taxes?
This is an educated person?
57 States... and ONE MORE to visit? Are you kidding me?
Your argument is rendered MOOT... by a 3rd grader.
Good question. Unfortunately, indicated by the first answerer to this question, ignorance seems to prevail in this election.
I'm glad McCain wont be experimenting with my money,taxes,health care,my families values,my guns,illegal aliens,on and on.....
If Obama likes to experiment he should have been a scientist....Then I take that back..It would be scary to think he may poison all americans......way to liberal in everything....that is going to condemn this country and bring more disease,death,starvation...etc
So all about I see nothing he can do for my country
Well of course it makes a difference. Almost flunk out of Naval Acedemy or graduate Magnacum Laude at Harvard? Did you need to ask that question. Look at how the 2 acted during the debates. It's called class and intelligence. mCcain knows nothing about either.
You must be too young to remember the 70's . Carter tried those ideas and sent America into a cesspool . Reagan had to dig us out . McCain has had real world experience , Now think about that old saying ; those that can do , those that can't teach . Wasn't Obama a teacher before .
It could be. I think you've hit on a good point, though. We should be voting on the candidates' judgment as it has been exhibited on the issues that have come up during the campaign. In that regard, Obama clearly is superior.
His education is very important, his intelligence as well. And I think it is also generational, which is overlooked. Obama is 21st Century whereas McCain is stuck in the 20th Century.
Expirence my friend
that is what matters
Nobody cares which one could recite a scientific theory
only that they will defend our country and know what to do
in a time of crisis..like, say, suspend their campaign to
help sort out the economic crisis..the answer is clear
McCAIN-PALIN 08
Easy to tell.
Did you watch the debates? Obama won them all, and that tells you difference in education and intelligence between the 2.
A vote for McCain is a wasted vote, but I wouldn't vote for Obama either.

McCain squeeked by in college....
Obama applied himself....
We don't need a president who squeeks by....we already tried that.(Bush)
Rap Music vs Louie Armstrong %26amp; Ella Fitzgerald! The latter can enlighten the masses of unwashed about human character!
Education is very important but it's not the reason why I am going to vote for a certain candidate.
"Ideas no one has tried.".....like socialism.
Besides...how well do you think The Obammesiah would have done in the Naval Academy?
Just because YOU"ve never heard them before, it does not make them new. Look at socialism and you'll see them. I think Obama has preyed on the ignorant and owes his success to it.
Obama is a bull chit artist and never worked a day in his life
He would have you believe he is an intellectual..but he is just a wad zoo
Obama is mulatto. What education are you talking about?
