I Just Have to Agree With This

From an email I've received (and subsequently checked against Wikipedia):

You are The Boss . . . which team would you hire?

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 your two options:

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, where he was also selected as Editor of the Harvard Law Review

& 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:
United States Naval Academy - Class rank 894 of 899

& Palin:
Hawaii Pacific University - 1 semester
North Idaho College - 2 semesters - general study
University of Idaho - 2 semesters - journalism
Matanuska-Susitna College - 1 semester
University of Idaho - 3 semesters - B.A. in journalism

Now, which team are you going to hire ?

Now, truthfully, these are all real people. Oddly enough, I'd bet there are people out there who think they can relate to Ms. Palin just because they also went to four colleges to be able to graduate after 4 and 1/2 years. (Makes me wonder how long it would have taken had she just stayed at one.)

And there are certainly lots of people who think they can relate to John McCain because he only has an undergraduate degree--and they didn't like math, either.

And, truth be told, Joe Biden wasn't stellar in his education, but he did pursue and achieve more education, at not-too-shabby institutions.

Really, people. We're electing the next president. We want someone who can speak well and correctly. Who knows the difference between exports, imports and how they affect the deficit. Who can at least understand that there are very intelligent people out there who can at least help them understand the hoohah that's happening in our financial markets right now (although, it'd be very helpful if they understood the difference between equity and debt, I can assure you).
We want someone who's actually got a thorough knowledge of U.S. law. We want someone who knows our history and who knows the ins and outs of not only international relations, but also domestic relations.

So, all that to say: make your choice wisely when you vote.
