Based on education, if you were going to hire two people to lead the most important business in your country, which pair would they be?
Obama:
Columbia University - B.A. political science with a specialization in international relations.
Harvard - Juris Doctor (J.D.) Magna Cum Laude
Occidental College - Two years
Biden:
University of Delaware - B.A. in history and B.A. in political science.
Syracuse University College of Law - Juris Doctor (J.D.)
McCain:
United States Naval Academy - Class rank 894 out of 899 (meaning that, like George Bush, McCain was at the bottom of his class)
Palin:
Hawaii Pacific University - 1 semester
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

From wikipedia:
"Lincoln's formal education consisted of about 18 months of schooling, but he was largely self-educated and an avid reader."
Guess you don't need a fancy degree from Harvard to be a great President.
It's not Obama's education or smooth-tongued public speaking that worries me. It's his liberal extremist philosophies and social agendas...
In fact, a fancy degree from Harvard can also produce a horrible President, which has been proven the last eight years. So, you win the argument that education doesn't matter. ;)
But, about your "avid reader" statement. Looks like Palin beats everyone with this exchange:
COURIC: And when it comes to establishing your world view, I was curious, what newspapers and magazines did you regularly read before you were tapped for this — to stay informed and to understand the world?
PALIN: I’ve read most of them again with a great appreciation for the press, for the media —
COURIC: But what ones specifically? I’m curious.
PALIN: Um, all of them, any of them that have been in front of me over all these years.
COURIC: Can you name any of them?
PALIN: I have a vast variety of sources where we get our news.
