WHAT HAVE we gotten ourselves into?

Believe it or not, Bush has a Harvard MBA, which is not given away like Cracker Jack Prizes. An MBA from Harvard and Wharton Business School (U. Penn) are considered the two top MBAs in the US.

You have to earn a Harvard MBA, and you earn it by doing lots and lots of tough projects in classwork. If anyone has proof that Bush bought his degree I'd like to hear it, and if it is possible to buy a Harvard Degree what does that tell you about the value of a Harvard Degree?

Most of the leadership at GM and most other major US firms contain Harvard MBAs. During the 1960s the "Whiz Kids" of the Kennedy Administration were Harvard Business school Alumni. Their leader, Robert McNamara, was a PhD who taught at the Harvard Business School. Nobody questioned their brains then or now, even though they made a mess of the Viet Nam War.

Bush was a failed business owner. A Harvard degree apparently isn't a guarantee of success.

A Havard JD, which Obama earned, is one of the top legal degrees in the US. Obama edited the Havard Law Journal, which is normally done by upper class Law Students at Harvard. I am not sure if the assignment of Editor is done by class standing or an election. I do know if Obama was top of his class we'd have heard it repeatedly. I have not heard so.

Obama was the Editor of the Harvard Law Review. He did some modest amounts of casework with his Harvard JD before going into politics. Harry Truman went into politics with a high school degree, which proves that you don't need a Harvard JD to do well in politics. Doesn't even help that much.

A Harvard degree apparently isn't a guarantee of of success, if Obama didn't use it to rise to the top ranks of the legal profession that he worked so hard to educate himself. He's not a lawyer, he's a politician.

To me all this photo montage shows is that Bush is more experienced at fast ball pitching, while Obama is probably less experienced. I got this suspicion that Obama would do a better job on a Basketball Court than Bush.

Both men profited politically from the "Housing Boom". Neither one is being held accountable for the resulting crash. Both screwed up handling it, with "stimulus packages" which were Pinatas for the monied classes. Neither one read the histories of the Great Depression, which clearly showed the "stimulus packages" do NOT do a damn thing for economic activity.

Pity that the American people could do better than either of these two.
