Why bother?

Well, the final neuro test went alright. It was hard and I feel sleep deprived, fat, and grumpy but another hoop has been jumped threw.

Saw this in an email today and sort of made me wonder, why bother?! If one can lead the free world with sub-par grades, random college courses, and a beauty pageant history, I could surely be a doctor by achieving just the bare minimum grades right? Unforuntely, I am just not built like that. Wish I was.

Candidate Educations:

Obama:
Occidental College - Two years.
Columbia University - B.A. political science with a specialization in international relations.
Harvard - Juris Doctor (J.D.) Magna Cum Laude

& Biden:
University of Delaware - B.A. in history and B.A. in political science.
Syracuse University College of Law - Juris Doctor (J.D.)

vs.

McCain:
United States Naval Academy - Class rank 894out of 899 (meaning that, like George Bush, McCain was at the bottom of his class)

Palin:
Hawaii Pacific University - 1 semester
North Idaho College - 2 semesters - general study
University of Idaho - 2 semesters - journalism
Matanuska-Susitna College - 1 semester
University of Idaho - 3 semesters - B.A. in journalism

Now, which team are you going to hire to lead the most influential nation in the world?

Not to mention, McCain, the great combat pilot, allegedly crashed 5 planes while serving in Vietnam. Only one was shot down; the rest were purportedly the result of pilot error.

Why is this relevant? It shows a tendency toward reckless abandon in his approach to life, and a failure to learn from past mistakes.

God help us all if he's elected.

I think you're a hypocrite. You talk about D.O discrimination in a previous post - how we have the same education but we're still considered "lesser" but then you go and compare educational backgrounds of political figures with the same logic that our discriminators use. Nice going.
