I guess we remove all federal job requirements so we don't have janitors will more education than the president of the country.

Scott Walker may have guppy face but you give him the derp.
There have been lots of Presidents who didnt have degrees, one of them, cant remember what one, couldnt even spell.

Obama, there were reports before he was elected, couldnt even pass a background check for the Secret Service.

So yes, we indeed do elect "unqualified" individuals, and you support them regardless. Provided of course they have a D next to their name.

Do you have any proof of this or are you just spouting off?

Actually, no, if a White House secretary needs a degree, I would expect that at minimum from my president.

Sen. Barack Obama wouldn’t pass a routine government background investigation, not only to become an FBI agent, but a police officer as well. If he were a soldier, his background would preclude him from obtaining a security clearance. He wouldn’t even qualify to be a support person in a federal agency, such as secretary, for that matter.His past cocaine usage disqualifies him from being a DEA agent.

Obama, not qualified to be a FBI or Secret Service agent

your wish, is meaningless to the voters wishes. You are 1 out of how many million. I would expect them to have basic understanding of economics, which would disqualify many in office at the moment.

Actually, I think a lot of voters would look at the lack of a degree as problematic considering most federal jobs require one. What do you do when the president of the country only has a high school diploma but the military officers all have college degrees? How is the president perceived by other countries? Is every foible magnified because of the obvious reason that he did not complete college? You can expect that will be the case.

George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Andrew Jackson, Grover Cleveland, Andrew Johnson, Harry Truman, James Monroe, William McKinley, and others became president without a degree.

How do you think people perceive George Washington and Abraham Lincoln?

Do you actually think we can believe what Wiener or Hannity says as the truth?
Aren't you one of them that say they are just entertainers when they say off the wall lies and then expect us to suck it up?

Well..honestly? Dead.

George Washington died in 1799. Abraham Lincoln in 1865. We're talking milk churning and horse and buggies.

I didnt say it was the truth, I said there were reports. I dont have access to an application Obama would have filled out in order to determine the accuracy of it, which is why I didnt say it was completely accurate.
