Does America Need Intelligence and Education in its Leaders ??

With America facing historic debt, multiple war fronts, stumbling health care,
a weakened dollar, all-time high prison population, skyrocketing Federal
spending, mortgage crises, bank foreclosures, etc. etc., this is an unusually
critical election year.

Let's look! at the educational background of the candidates and see what
they bring to the job:

Obama:
Occidental College - Two years.
Columbia University - B.A. political science with a specialization in
international relations.
Harvard - Juris Doctor (J.D.) Magna Cum Laude

& Biden:
University of
 Delaware - B.A. in history and B.A. in political science.
Syracuse University College of Law - Juris Doctor
 (J.D.)

vs.

McCain:

George Bush, McCain was at the bottom of his class)

University of Idaho - 2 semesters - journalism
Matanuska-Susitna College - 1 semester
