I'd rather have my next store neighbor Joe. He may not have a college diploma but he's a darn good plumber which makes him super qualified to run this country
He can drastically reduce maintenance expenses at the white house. What has Obama been doing lately besides making stupid faces for the camera?
I've scrolled through this thread, and there is one thing no one has proved or answered: How does a person having a college education make them a bad fit for being an elected official?
The only thing I'm seeing is alot of anti-intellectual mentality.

Actually it doesn't, but not having a degree doesn't either.

The main point I'm trying to drive home is this. The way the thread started, the message was "college educated people shouldn't be elected officials". And there are some who agree with this. However, no one has been able to say how being college educated makes a person unfit for public office. My point was "if you're going to say something, back it up with some solid evidence and facts".

I think their evidence is that the vast majority of our elected officials are college graduates and look at where they have taken us. While I question the correlation, the evidence is there and is a bit compelling.

Hmmm where have I seen this sort of thing before....
