I read this on Christie's blog and VERIFIED ALL THE INFO!!
I hope it scares you as much as it does me!
With America facing historic debt, multiple war fronts, stumbling health care, a weakened dollar, all-time high prison population, skyrocketing, Federal spending, mortgage crises, bank foreclosures, etc. etc., this is an *unusually critical* election year.

Thank you for spreading the IMPORTANT word. Education does not always matter....but for the leaders of our country....it should matter A LOT! It demonstrates a lot. AND after all of all of that education, Barack Obama CHOSE to go to Chicago and work to help the families on the South Side. He could have gotten a very high-paying job at a law firm, instead he chose to help others. He amazes me.
AND Obama was a professor - of Constitutional Law! However, you KNOW the general American public disdains "intellectuals" and in the American mind, just going to college is enough to qualify someone as an intellectual! GAAAGH - I can't wait to retire.

From an article by Katha Pollitt in "The Nation," "The last thing we need are more pointy-headed intellectuals running the government." ~ Charles Murray, a man who is in love, truly and deeply in love with Sarah Palin. He is also a man who claims in his book, "The Bell Curve," that people who complain that racism, sexism, etc. holds them back are whiners.
