An Email I received- Candidate's Education

"It stands to reason that the basic requirement for our next president must include a substantive educational background demonstrating the capability to understand the issues and
complexity of our present world. Since we've heard so much about experience (the second item on most resumes), I decided to find out our candidates' educational credentials. Here they are for your consideration...

Obama
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
University of Delaware - B.A. in Political Science
Syracuse University - Juris Doctor (J.D.)

vs.

McCain
United States Naval Academy - class rank 894 of 899

Palin
Hawaii Pacific University - one semester
North Idaho College - two semesters - General Studies
University of Idaho - two semesters - Journalism
Matanuska-Susitna College - one semester
University of Idaho - three semesters - B.A. in Journalism

It has been argued that the education of Obama/Biden represents "elitism." This argument befuddles me since an appropriate education is fundamental to even getting an interview for most jobs, let alone the presidency of the most powerful nation on earth! Again sufficient education and certification are basic requirements for so many professional fields, such as medicine, law, etc. Surely the next president will need even better qualifications to serve the needs of our country!"
