Education

Which Presidential Candidate Has a Liberal Arts Degree, and Talked Up Going to Grad School?

Ever since student loan debt became a serious crisis in America, there have been a lot of things blamed for the proliferation of students who can’t seem to find work. One persistent talking point is that many of these students have been long on education and short on skills, and should have majored in practical fields like Business, rather than in Philosophy, History, or God forbid, English. In fact, English degrees have been the poster child of useless education since before the recession even began, with the popular Broadway musical Avenue Q lampooning them in song:

Well, all those people who have talked down liberal arts degrees may be in for a surprise – turns out majoring in English doesn’t always turn you into a ponytailed Occupier. Sometimes you become…Mitt Romney?! The Atlantic Wire brings this shocking detail to light:

But chin up, impractical majors: Mitt Romney is one of you. At an event at Otterbein University in Ohio Friday, the fabulously wealthy and obnoxiously well-adjusted Republican presidential nominee admitted he was an English major. He even revealed a little of the pompous English major inside, billing the event as a “guest lecture,” instead of an unpretentious campaign speech. Further, Romney told the college kids, ”as an English major I can say this, as an English major your options are you better go to grad school,” Politico’s Ginger Gibson reports.

Romney got dual grad degrees in business and law from Harvard, and his powerful political family ensured he’d never be without a job. (Ann Romney has complained that during the grad school years, all they had for income was “chipping away at stock.”) Nevertheless, English majors nationwide can take the presidential candidate’s remarks to their parents to justify that MFA.

That’s right. Mitt Romney, the supposed uber-practical businessman who Democrats attack for being a predatory monster completely obsessed with the bottom line, was an English major, went to two different grad schools, and somehow still managed to become one of the most famously successful men in America, to the point that he’s now running for President.

Of course, it’s possible President Obama majored in something perceived as equally useless, but given that his college transcripts haven’t surfaced, we don’t really know.

    We want Obama’s college records – don’t you want to know what he got in ECON?

    We also want to know WHO FUNDED HIS EDUCATION? Did he take a foreign student loan???? Did the Saudi king pay for his education???

    We also want his passport records. In 1981 when he says (in his book) that he went to Pakistan…American passport holders weren’t allowed to go to Pakistan. So, what sort of passport was he holding when he went to Pakistan please? Hello? Can I get an Amen???

      I am willing to bet if he did take economics it was the basic econ 101 course that most college students take. Obama probably majored in something like black liberation theology or African studies…but I guess we will never know. The people are hiring the president of the United States with their votes,we should have every right to view his course of study.

      Yes, that is true…but it was people like him, who set the following tone and practice of that socialist thinking. He paved the road for it…that father of it, in education, as it were. His friends are now in power to promote this. And in the last 40 years, our rate of “smartness”, has declined so bad, too many schools can’t graduate 50%, even after all the agreed dumbing down PC garbage. Graduating later, so he missed it? NO. Quite the contrary, he helped lay the groundwork for it.

      You will find very conservative teachings at BYU, no matter what your major. BYU is the opposite of most universities. Instead of Liberal leanings, everything has a more conservative and religious slant. I remember in the middle of my immunology class, the professor, stopped what he was teaching and went into a discourse about God, and his gratitude toward God. Won’t see that at anywhere else.

      In fact, when I went to BYU, there were discussion about “academic freedom”. The few liberal teachers were dismayed that they couldn’t spout their liberal indoctrination. Both of the professors (catch that?) complained that they didn’t have the “academic freedom” to teach whatever liberal philosophy that they wanted.

    It doesn‘t really matter which major your Bachelor’s degree is in–the University education gives you broad knowledge of the major subjects and necessary perspective, as well as reasoning skills. It also gives any potential employer the confidence that you were able to get through the academic program.

    If education was left up to the Blazers, everyone would be a religious home schooled small business owner armed to the teeth, trading survival seeds with neighbours for goods and services. If you people had your way, we would enter a new Dark Ages.

He then served as a flight surgeon in the United States Air Force and in the United States Air National Guard, making him the only Veteran running for President. After serving his country, he became an OB/GYN and began his own private practice delivering over 4000 babies. In between this.

      “Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them” says Shakespeare‘s Malvolio in Twelfth Night’ I believe in perilous times such as those we are now experiencing, great men come to the fore and sometimes even they have no preconceived notion of their potential. Romney, in my opinion, has the latent ability to become a great president and, on a lighter note, his degree in English will certainly prove useful if he is to communicate his message to a doubting public.

      When George W. Bush was running for president, the conservative base hated him. They considered him too liberal. The only reason he won the presidency was because he was perceived to be the lesser of two evils. Because Al Gore came across as a pompous, arrogant jerk who wasn’t wrapped too tight. And now the voting public is faced with the same dilemma. Which one of these two clowns do you think is the lesser of two evils?

      Language is not just what makes us human, it is one of the primary distinguishers of culture.

      Paul supporters are the most loyal supporters of any candidate ever. We are consistent and we support the most consistent candidate running. If more people would wake up to what is really going on, we could start to fix this failing country. I do not worry though, Paul is doing very well in the primary, better than the media outlets like Fox want to admit. They will not report on Paul unless they have no choice. To understand how well Paul is doing, you have to go to media outlets that are not bought and paid for by the status quo establishment:

      Harding went to the convention with 39 delegates and ended up becoming the 29th POTUS after the 10th vote. Romney only has 599 delegates right now and quite a few of them are actually Paul supporters. Paul is just behind him as there are a lot of Paul supporters mixed in with the unbound delegate pool. He will have around the same or more as Romney going to the convention, watch and see.

    I’d rather vote for someone who mentions the Constitution constantly—Ron Paul.

      I‘m sure there’s LOTS of people who’d rather vote for Dr. Paul. However, the painful truth is that Dr. Paul is NOT going to be the Republican candidate for President, no matter how much his supporters wish for that to be.

      Therefore, the only way for you to vote for Dr. Paul is if he decides to run as a third-party candidate. If that happens, you’ll have the wonderful privilege of voting for him. HOWEVER, that will mean that Obama AUTOMATICALLY will win re-election and “We the People” get another 4 years of this craziness.

      The ONLY way to end this craziness is for Dr. Paul’s supporters to hold their collective noses and vote for Romney. Same thing for those who supported Santorum, Gingrich, Backman, Cain, etc., etc., etc.

      Is that going to be “enjoyable” or what those folks really want to do? NO! Of course not! But, that’s the painful reality of the situation!

      Obama or Romney… what a God-awful choice! But, I’d sure as hell rather have Romney than Obama, any day!

      @Chrison
      if ron paul runs as third party, you dont realize how many democrats will be voting for him. Ron Paul pulls people from both parties. If he can distance himself from the republicans, he will get equal republicans and democrats. In fact, I have a few democrat friends at work that will vote ron paul if he is on the ballot (you’re welcome).

      Besides, if you were concerned about ron paul then you should have nominated a constitutional conservative (other than ron paul). I cannot help that you guys choose losers

      @SOYBOMB315: Just so that we’re clear, I’m NOT a Romney supporter. Frankly, I’m quite upset that “my” candidate (neither Romney nor Paul) isn’t going to be the nominee. However, that’s the reality I have to live with.

      So, now the idea is that Paul will run as a third-party (or independent) candidate and will get enough votes from both Republicans AND Democrats that he’ll win the Presidency??? That would be one truly amazing feat for Paul to pull that off!

      I’m afraid the cold, hard truth is that if Ron Paul runs as a third-party or independent candidate he would get “some” democratic votes, but the VAST majority of his support will come at Romney’s expense, not Obama’s.

      This election is going to be as close as it gets if Paul throws his support to Romney and sits it out. In fact, it’s likely to be so close that it will be decided by the number of fraudulent votes cast for Obama (or at least that’s what some folks are saying!). That’s why Obama wants to nullify the voter ID laws!

      So, the “bottom line” is that everyone who’s not happy with Romney and who support(ed) someone else needs to unite 100% around the worst of the two evils… Romney. If folks want 4 more years of this insanity and to keep moving to a socialist state, then vote for Obama or hope for a Ron Paul third-party/independent candidacy. Otherwise, hold your nose, swallow the vomit coming up into your throat, and vote Romney!

      Yeah, that REALLY sucks, but that’s the reali

      I care more about america’s long-term future than the next election cycle (see previous threads). quite frankly, i will not stand having a moderate kicking the can down the road for the next 8 years. i will not do that to my kids.

      i will not waste a vote on the lesser of two evils. i dont vote for someone based on who can win – i vote based on what is right. if the people of this country want what is right, then vote for what is right. otherwise, they will not and should not get what is right. know what i mean?

      America will not have a future if we have 4 more years of Obama and leaders like Ron Paul and his supporters will be silenced. You do remember one of Obama and Biden’s favorite phrases…“boot on the neck”. I honestly believe Ron Paul knows this and that along with his friendship with Romney is why I think Ron Paul will throw his support behind Romney.

      I hope Paul has a prominent place at the convention over someone like Sanotrum or GIngrich and I also hope Ron Paul or Rand Paul will be working in a Romney administration.

    “Of course, it’s possible President Obama majored in something perceived as equally useless, but given that his college transcripts haven’t surfaced, we don’t really know.”

    As I was reading that is what I was thinking … Obama talks about paying off loans .. but won’t release any of his records .. Romney … WE know who he is …. I would rather vote for a TRUE AMERICAN … than the FRAUD in the WHITE HOUSE we have now.

      Sure would love to see the financial arrangements -i.e, scholarships , loans given to Obama when he attended Occidental College as Barry Soetoro, “a student from Indonesia . “ Especially since Occidental is nicknamed the ” Moscow of southern California.” In light of his Far Left policies and his use of the intimidation Big Brother behavior, one wonders why he chose that school . In light of his hidden school records and his concern with student loans, one wonders what financial arrangements were given to “Barry Soetoro” and why the man we know as Barack Obama used the name Barry Soetoro….
