Keynes is a GDI you are absolutely right, there are a lot of smart people out there who didn’t graduate with 4.0s or go to an Ivy league who are competent and intelligent.
How many of these people graduated with less than a 2.0 and failed basic econ and failed basic history?
I don’t want a president who thinks the world is 5000 years old, that man rode on the back of dinosaurs, and couldn’t figure out basic market mechanics
Obama got his J.D. from Harvard. B.A. from Columbia. Look, I don’t like the guy anymore than the next heterosexual conservative, but you have to respect his academic credentials. He’s no idiot. Not a brilliant leader, but also not an idiot.
He knows how to bullshit. He’s a great public speaker, but not capable of running a country. He has really not done a good job at all. Smart doesn’t mean effective.
Reagan was an actor and he spent his time shooting blanks from a six shooter and promoting cigs. Education means shit as president. You need a big swinging dick and common sense.
People being encouraged to vote for “who they’d rather have a beer with” and “we just need someone with common sense!” versus who can actually run the damn country, which Reagan couldn’t, are the reason we’re in trouble. Face it, there’s a lot of complex and intricate decisions that need to be made.
I’ll let the egregious punctuation go, although it’s hilarious. My justification is that it’s time for everyone to wake the fuck up. It’s not possible to run the most powerful country in the world and eschew a solid understanding of economics, education, foreign policy, etc. and have this country REMAIN the most powerful country in the world. You cannot run this country and believe that it is best for everyone in it if 5% own 74% of the nation’s wealth. You cannot run this country and believe that evolution and global warming do not exist. More generally, you cannot run this country and be willfully ignorant of technology, science, and knowledge in general.
And to be brutally honest, the majority of the Republican candidates right now are doing just that.
Fratual Selection. Darwin would be proud.
14 years ago at 2:09 pmBut guys evolution doesn’t exist, even Rick Perry knows that!
14 years ago at 2:25 pmRick Perry is a joke. He graduated with less than a 2.0 and failed basic econ and basic history.
14 years ago at 2:33 pm^There are plenty of smart people who didn’t get 4.0’s or graduate from Harvard. Look at the fuckstain in office now
14 years ago at 3:06 pm^god dammit, you idiot. Obama graduated from Harvard with honors. not a comment of support, just correcting this dunce.
14 years ago at 3:28 pmHFF, I believe his point is that Obama graduated from Harvard and is a fuckstain.
14 years ago at 3:36 pmThat’s the point retard. The fact that he graduated honors and is still by far one of the shittiest presidents thus far.
14 years ago at 3:54 pmFrom my statement, you should have been able to discern that with relatively low difficulty. Take a lap, bitch.
14 years ago at 4:39 pmKeynes is a GDI you are absolutely right, there are a lot of smart people out there who didn’t graduate with 4.0s or go to an Ivy league who are competent and intelligent.

14 years ago at 5:11 pmObama got his J.D. from Harvard. B.A. from Columbia. Look, I don’t like the guy anymore than the next heterosexual conservative, but you have to respect his academic credentials. He’s no idiot. Not a brilliant leader, but also not an idiot.
14 years ago at 5:29 pmPerry had a 2.2, which is bad. Who gives a fuck?
14 years ago at 7:23 pmBad? I got a pat on the back and a nice bonus for passing.
14 years ago at 10:02 pmHe knows how to bullshit. He’s a great public speaker, but not capable of running a country. He has really not done a good job at all. Smart doesn’t mean effective.
14 years ago at 7:23 pm“I don’t want a president who thinks the world is 5000 years old, that man rode on the back of dinosaurs”
This^.
14 years ago at 8:23 pmWait, so why’s Obama a bad President other than being a communist?
14 years ago at 11:19 amEveryone knows the Earth is 6,000 years old. No shit I don’t want a POTUS candidate that thinks it’s only 5,000 years old. I’m not an idiot.
14 years ago at 12:57 pmAlso a great way to expose the “high school football star” as a damn liar.
14 years ago at 3:19 pm^Awesome
14 years ago at 3:42 pmAlways seems like the kid who blows dick got offers “from the biggest schools”
14 years ago at 7:26 pmI had no idea there existed sports that involved no contact.
14 years ago at 3:37 pmGolf? Tennis?
14 years ago at 3:52 pmSomebody’s been playing tennis while still mildly coherent…
14 years ago at 4:25 pmAnything can be a contact sport if you make it that way!
John McEnroe.
14 years ago at 4:37 pmYou Cannot Be Serious!
14 years ago at 9:26 pmWait till he plays defense!
14 years ago at 12:02 amReagan was an actor and he spent his time shooting blanks from a six shooter and promoting cigs. Education means shit as president. You need a big swinging dick and common sense.
14 years ago at 5:16 pmThis.
14 years ago at 6:21 pm^This is the reason why China is projected to be the world’s superpower by 2015.
14 years ago at 9:06 amPeople being encouraged to vote for “who they’d rather have a beer with” and “we just need someone with common sense!” versus who can actually run the damn country, which Reagan couldn’t, are the reason we’re in trouble. Face it, there’s a lot of complex and intricate decisions that need to be made.
14 years ago at 11:21 am^And your justification for that is????
