http://ulstermanbooks.com/college-drop-hall-fame-defense-governor-scott-walker/So the media, in an apparent panic over the sudden popularity of union-busting Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, is actually trying to make an issue out of the fact Governor Walker left college before earning a degree? REALLY? They are claiming such a candidate would be “unprecedented”, and are even giving smirking hints that perhaps Scott Walker just isn’t smart enough to be President of the United States.
Perhaps these same “enlightened” media figures would do well to spend a few moments learning a bit more history outside of their own universe of scripted wisdom.
(So says the Mainstream Media – over and over again…)

Here’s just a partial list of the No College Degree Hall of Fame.
First up is a list of presidents who did not have college degrees. In just the last week multiple members of the media have called Scott Walker’s absence of a college degree “unprecedented” when actually, the United States has had TEN presidents who never graduated college, and two of those are ranked as this nation’s greatest ever:
George Washington
Andrew Jackson
Martin Van Buren
William Henry Harrison
Zachary Taylor
Millard Fillmore
Abraham Lincoln
Andrew Johnson
Grover Cleveland
William McKinley
Harry S. Truman
_______________
In the business, and arts and entertainment industries, the list is even greater:
Thomas Edison
Mark Twain
Steve Jobs
Bill Gates
Mark Zuckerberg
Tom Hanks
Oprah Winfrey
Walt Disney
Richard Branson
Charles Dickens
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Etc…

This list in no way means to disregard the idea of getting a formal education, but rather to expose the Mainstream Media’s hypocrisy in attempting to demean Governor Scott Walker for not graduating college.
Our last two presidents, Barack Obama and George W. Bush, both graduated from Harvard. (though unlike G.W. Bush, Barack Obama has never released his college records, keeping them sealed.)
How well did that turn out for us?
There are likely any number of reasons why Governor Scott Walker may or may not be a suitable candidate for President of the United States, but the fact he left college before graduating is certainly not one of them.
