It is not weird since we know for fact that he graduated top 10 in his class. This is fact. It is not customary for presidential candidates to release their school transcripts. Mccain hasn't. I do not find it weird.

This is not an issue. Top 10% in his class. Only a doubt seeking conspiracy theorist as yourself would think this is a issue.

Did a little research on the Harvard website for you. Magna cum laude at Harvad means you graduated in the top 10% of your class.

It is public knowledge when you graduate with the distinction of magna cum laude, It is printed on the graduation handouts and you recieve a special award during graduation. Are you saying that Harvard is in on a conspiracy to show that Obama is smarter than he really is?

"Also, what were Obama's grades? "

He graduated, magna cum Laude which means with great honor, which means very high grade point average. All colleges are different but I am assuming Harvard does not give magna cum laude to everyone. Graduating with just honors is called cum laude. Obama graduated with magna cum laude = great honor.

Nice try though.

Did you start from the beginning?

Do you agree that graduating from Columbia and Harvard law with honors gives NO indication of a persons intellect? Do you agree that this also does not make someone more qualified at all to be president or VP when comparing it to someone who went to Idaho State University (and three other really bad colleges) and just got a bachelors degree? Do you think that teaching law at Chicago University for twelve years does not count for anything when making an assessment of someones intellect or capabilities. DP argued that none of these things matter at all when assessing Obamas credentials, capabilities or intellect.

What do you think? Does education not matter at all to you?

You are forgetting that not everyone can, or even should go to Harvard or other very elite schools. We need public schools for people who just want to get a degree and start working. People who don't care much about education. People who just get a bachelors degree and that's it.

For these people we have public schools like Idaho State University. Oh yeah, who went there?

If you choose to ignore it then I would not remove your head from your ass because if you do you will find the following.

Watch the Katie couric interview.
Palins 17 year old daughter is pregnant.
She graduated from Idaho State.
She wants to drill in ANWR.
She is a creationist who thinks she is doing gods will.
She got somone fired for personal reasons.
She inquired about banning books.
Her church is holding a "pray away the gay" event.

Your position is that Palin is a good choice for VP.

That is what I am arguing against. No one brought up Obama. I am trying to show that Palin is a very bad choice for VP. I believe I have done this easily, as have others.

You continue to say she is a good choice and that is why people think you are dumb.

I keep hearing this. Can you give any examples of how she did this? I know she said this but, just like you, you can't just say things and act like they are true with no evidence.
