So do I. I can tell you that a degree in economics only gives you a basic understanding on the subject. You have to spend many years studying/working in the field to ever understand it at a high level.
His degree was in economics AND sociology.

You are an idiot. I read your post as is.
You ripped on Obama for only being a law professor and I pointed out there have successful president with less education.
[/quote]
YOU want it to be about education but it was not. It was about EXPERIENCE! Any 14 year old with an average IQ could figure that out.
Here’s exactly what I said:
I attacked him for being only a law professor AND community organizer. That means the theme was LACK OF EXPERIENCE. The theme was not whether Presidents should have more, or less education.
But you and your kind love to attack Reagan for “only being an actor.” Which of course is nonsense as he was one of the more qualified men to rise to the Presidency.
Liberal moron.

He wasn’t attacking his education, he was attacking his lack of relevant experience in either the private sector or governing.
Reading comprehension not a big focus in Canadian education?
This is hilarious. You guys are trying to stretch something from nothing.
I interpreted background as referring to educational background since he mentioned law PROFESSOR.
Anyways, continue on.

I’ll lend a hand.
The “professor” is the one in class teaching those seeking academic credit and education and is not himself seeking academic credit, a “student” is the one getting an educational background by listening to a lecturing “professor”.
Hope that helps going forward.

It’s not what he did that hurts Obama, it’s what he didn’t do prior to being elected President.
Let’s take a look at that movie star Ronald Reagan. While acting Ronald Reagan ran for President of the screen actors guild. From there he retired from making films and ran for Governor of the largest state in the union, California. He was elected in 1967 and was so popular served a second term, that’s a full 8 years as the Chief Executive of California in that office his accomplishments were many. If California were a country it would have the 8th largest economy in the world! And Ronald Reagan the FORMER movie actor served as its Governor. Got that?
You want to compare that experience to Barack Obama teaching law and being a community organizer? You can even throw in his two years in the US Senate prior to running for President.
Obama literally had no executive experience prior to winning the biggest job on the planet. And damn little experience doing much else that matters. And that’s one of the reasons that he’s a joke as President!
And you dare to compare him to the great Ronald Reagan?
Fool.

I’m pointing out that presidents with even less academic credentials have been good presidents.
[/quote]
That’s because it takes more than academic credentials to be a good president. For example Ronald Reagan’s greatest strength was his management style. He surrounded himself with good people who was willing to delegate responsibility to. Another important factor is ideology and world view.
Ideologically Obama is a socialist. He doesn’t think wealth is created through hard work, he thinks it is merely distributed amongst an upper class of oppressors. So what is needed is someone to redistribute that money and all will be well. But it doesn’t work that way. If you give money to people with no idea of how to manage it they will blow it. ie Obama handling of the federal budget. Obama may whine (a lot) about how Romney was a money man at Bain capital, but that is exactly the kind of experience and capability we need to put our finances right.
Obama like his father has the world view of a 1950’s Luo tribesman, he’s an anti colonialist. He sees the world in terms of oppressed nations (colonies) and oppressor nations (colonialists). This is why he is letting Iran obtain nuclear weapons. He sees it as equalizing the balance of power between and oppressed nation (Iran) and the oppressor nations (US, Israel, Europe)so it’s a good thing to him.
…“This is why he is letting Iran obtain nuclear weapons. He sees it as equalizing the balance of power between and oppressed nation (Iran) and the oppressor nations (US, Israel, Europe)so it’s a good thing to him…”
Do you honestly believe this, Sifu?

lol thanks.
Now tell me, what do you think professors do while they’re not lecturing?

And I also mentioned “community organizer” as being part of the proof that Obama was (and is) not qualified to be President.

I don’t think that is a bad assumption on Sifu’s part, given Obama’s background (Do you think the American people would have voted for him if the liberal media actually did their job on his background?). But look at it this way, either Sifu is correct or Obama is inept at preventing Iran from developing Nukes.
Either way, he’s not very good at his job.
But yes by all means the topic should be Bain Capital…Let’s just pretend the last four years of Obama’s abject failure never happened. You see Mufasa that’s where a fair media would help.

Professionally? Most of them research and publish in their field of study.

Yes, they research their field and try to contribute new knowledge to it.
Very similar to what grad and phD students go through. For that reason, I’m not sure why you wouldn’t classify his work as a professor as part of his educational background. I do.
I’d understand if he were just an instructor, but that’s not the case.
It’s basically a continuation of study but at a very high level.

Because he didn’t research and publish anything at all during his job as professor, Einstein.
You really walked into that one - well done.
That’s because you’ve talked out of your ass yet again without having a clue as to what you’re talking about.
Uh yeah, that’s all he was. He wasn’t tenure track, and he didn’t complete a single work of legal scholarship.
Anything else, Rajraj?

Even less.
Obama was a “lecturer” at the U of Chicago, not a professor on the tenure tract; other universities would have called him “a reader,” meaning he gave a few classes.
He is the only president of the Harvard Law Review who never published anything in the Review. Ever.
As far as we know, he has never published an academic law paper, anywhere.

[/quote]Yes, because academics is what really matters in the real world…
There are less jobs today than when Obama took office. The Obama administration likes to say that they have added 4.4 million jobs since taking over, but more than 6 million have been lost. So there’s a 1.6 million net job loss. Good job Obama! You see, the left doesn’t like to report both sides of the story.
Here’s a fun fact for you:
If the same amount of people were in the workforce today as there were when Obama took over, the unemployment rate would be 10.7%.
Have fun with that.
