If you're referring to Bush, I think you'll have trouble convincing Spanish speakers that he's bilingual. For that matter, I think you'll have trouble convincing English speakers too. However, we're not talking the difference between a B and a C here, even. Here's the article that this is from: http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9B0DE4D91F3CF931A1575AC0A961948260 It's interesting, although not terribly exciting since Biden earned two degrees with a double major instead of three degrees and got a half scholarship instead of a full scholarship. The plagiarism thing is bad, however he was allowed to repeat the course which if it had been serious would have resulted in expulsion. Plus it was decades ago. It's not like he was convicted of DUI or something. But, as with any choice, it's the top of the ticket that's most important. Palin may be lower on the education scale than Biden, but ultimately it doesn't matter very much.
I'll concede that Obama is probably "smarter" than McCain. Vladimir Putin though is smarter than both of them and he wouldn't get my vote based on that sole criteria either.
Oh hell ya, we're not voting for Obama because he's black... sure, it's racism, LOL. We're not voting for him because he is the farthest left person in the Senate... And all this talk about intelligence and quality of arguments.. if your assumptions are wrong and your logic is brilliant then your argument is fatally flawed. But the guy that can argue brilliantly can go to the head of the class.
Well you can rest assured that neither of the candidates is Putin. They're both decent guys, one is highly intelligent and brilliant, and the other is not as intelligent.
Every election the Republicans trot that old canard out, that the nominee is "the most left in all of the [blank]." You'd think you guys would catch on by now. I'll trust the intelligent guy to use facts to decide his direction and correct his assumptions, rather than the less intelligent guy who might have great assumptions but doesn't know what to do with them.
ALLENTOWN, Pa. â The leader of a statewide group of college Republicans has been forced to resign after posting racially insensitive comments about Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama on the Internet. Adam LaDuca, 21, the former executive director of the Pennsylvania Federation of College Republicans, wrote on his Facebook page in late July that Obama has "a pair of lips so large he could float half of Cuba to the shores of Miami (and probably would.)" LaDuca, who previously had called Martin Luther King Jr. a "pariah" and a "fraud," also wrote: "And man, if sayin' someone has large lips is a racial slur, then we're ALL in trouble." The College Republicans asked LaDuca to resign after his remarks were publicized by the Pennsylvania Progressive, a blog written by a Democratic committeeman from Berks County. The group announced LaDuca's resignation on its Web site Friday. "The comments were completely uncalled for and very offensive," said Anthony Pugliese, 22, a senior at West Chester University and chairman of the College Republicans, an umbrella group with more than 50 chapters statewide. "The P-A College Republicans do not accept or tolerate racism in any way." LaDuca said Monday that he regrets posting the comments and understands how they can be construed as racist. "In hindsight, when you read it a second time, it's like, 'oops,'" he said. "It was just a dumb move on my part to make a statement like that public." He said he is not a racist and that he admires prominent blacks such as economist and author Thomas Sowell and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. He compared the comment about Obama to jokes about Republican presidential nominee John McCain's thinning hair or President Bush's large ears. LaDuca is a senior at Kutztown University. Two years ago, Kutztown's College Republicans chapter was heavily criticized for holding a "bake sale" to protest affirmative action in which whites were charged more for cookies than blacks. LaDuca, then the group's spokesman, made a public apology on the group's behalf.
Would you venture as to say that Putin being obviously smart and intelligent has helped Russia tremendously and is a great asset to their country?
