What if the Obamas had paraded five children across the stage, following the debate, including a three month-old infant and an unwed, pregnant teenage daughter?What if John McCain was a former president of the Harvard Law Review?
What if Barack Obama finished fifth from the bottom of his college graduating class?
What if McCain had only married once, and Obama was divorced?
What if Obama had met his second wife in a bar and had a long affair while he was still married?
What if Michelle Obama was the wife who not only became addicted to pain killers but also acquired them illegally through her charitable organization?
What if Cindy McCain graduated from Harvard?
What if Obama had been a member of the Keating Five?(The Keating Five were five United States Senators accused of corruption in 1989, igniting a major political scandal as part of the larger Savings and Loan crisis of the late 1980s and early 1990s.)
What if Obama couldn't read from a teleprompter?
What if Obama was the one who had military experience that included discipline problems and a record of crashing seven planes?
What if Obama was the one who was known to publicly display a serious anger management problem?
What if Michelle Obama's family had made their money from beer distribution?
You could easily add to this list. If these questions reflected a reality, if the tables were turned, do you really believe the election numbers would be as close as they are? This is what racism does. It covers up, rationalizes and minimizes qualities in one candidate and emphasizes negative characteristics in another when there is a color difference.
And, think of this: the candidates' educational backgrounds:
Barack Obama:
Columbia University - B.A. Political Science with a Specialization innternational Relations.Joseph Biden:
Harvard - Juris Doctor (J.D.) Magna Cum Laude
University of Delaware - B.A. in History and B.A. in Political Science.John McCain:
Syracuse University College of Law - Juris Doctor (J.D.)
United States Naval Academy - Class rank: 894 of 899Sarah Palin:
Hawaii Pacific University - 1 semesterEducation isn't everything, but this is about the two highest offices in the land as well as our standing in the world.
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
You make the call.

" John McCain: US Naval Academy "
Can ANYONE tell me what this degree means?
I can understand the other degrees but I can't figure out what John McCain's degree is.
Disclosure: I support >>> THAT ONE <<<<
OBAMA in 08.
Upon graduation from the U.S. Naval Academy, one is awarded a Bachelor of Science degree, regardless of major. So, it is equivalent to a four year college education. The issue is, he graduated at the near bottom of his class.
While I strongly support Barack Obama for president, I have to clarify that US Naval Academy is equivalent to the US Military Academy at West Point (Army). One attains a very high level of education at either institution (even tho' ARMY is the best!). The US Naval Academy and the US Military Academy are two very prestigious universities to attend. Again, the issue is scraping by at the bottom of the class.
