Obama is purported to have a degree (but it can't be verified). If he does, it certainly isn't apparent. There are many people a lot smarter than Obama who do not have degrees. Some never even went to college.
Really? Hmm...Columbia University and Harvard Law School both have verified his degrees.
Oh, wait a minute, this is more of you NOT birthing, right? It's just a coincidence that this is one of the birther's favorite talking points, because as you've been insisting, you're not a birther, right?

Your links don't prove anything except that you wasted a lot of time.
1. They've started over 2 dozen threads about Walker and lead the recall rally cry around here. It appears to be a variation of Bush Derangement Syndrome.
2. In order to waste time, I'd think it would need have other valuable uses.
Gates was never known for 'prodigious programming skills.' Allen was the programmer. Gates was an organizer and facilitator.
Much like Walker, Gates recognized opportunity early on and found himself without time for school.
Given that Gates started Harvard in 1973 when computer programming was a bit of an esoteric academic discipline, you are mildly correct - he was more of a prodigious mathematician in a combinatronics field that, by most accounts, is a good intellectual precursor to modern computer programming. Then again, any kid who could write a BASIC tic-tac-toe program at age 13, in 1968, is somewhat prodigious. Or write his high school's COBOL scheduling code at age 15 (and manipulate it to get him near pretty girls). Mildly prodigious. Certainly more so than a Scott Walker who probably watched Larry Bird a lot and ate a fair amount of pizza at the same age, but I digress.......

Yeah for the love of God, lets not compare Walker's successful political career to that of Bill Gates.
Perhaps I missed something, but I find Bill Gates' "political career" about as relevant as Scott Walker's Computer Programming Career - although as the head of the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation, I can assure you that Gates' money has had a far greater impact in tangential political effects than anything Walker has done in either the political or computer programming field. It's an odd wire to cross, but again, you are comparing completely different people with completely different talents and abilities.
Look, I actually like Scott Walker, and he has had a dandy political career starting at a young age. I especially appreciate his stand against public sector unions, a courageous political act for which he will always have my respect. The question at issue was about his lack of a College education - and how his reasons for bolting are a bit different than those of the world's wealthiest man. Scott Walker had mediocre grades at a mediocre school and left before graduating - and that gives me personally some small reason for pause when considering him as a Chief Executive. Huckstering your way through local Wisconsin politics, while impressive, is not quite the same as leaving Harvard and the whole Microsoft thing. And if it helps you sleep, I would not particularly support Bill Gates for President either.

It is an indication as to who the Democrats seem to be worried about on the GOP ticket.
Oh please.. Obama told everyone he picked Joe Biden as VP because Biden was familiar with international affairs and he knew pretty much nothing.
I still believe he pretty much still knows nothing, degree and all.
That is your opinion to try to justify a college dropout.

Vice President Joe Biden has long been an influential voice on foreign policy issues in Washington. First elected to the Senate in 1972 at age 29, Biden has spent more time in Congress than any candidate. He chaired the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and sits on the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Terrorism, Technology and Homeland Security.
Hey, what is Walker's position on amnesty? Any idea?
He feels that even though you voted for Obama, you should not have to surrender your sense of self worth.
Everyone deserves a chance to learn from their mistakes.
