Which is more about being a good organizer, CEO type person, and leader then book smarts. Obama has many degrees and the potential to be one of the most intellectual POTUS that we have ever had (lot of really smart guys prior to 1900), but he is a horrible CEO and leader and that is why his adminstration is a disaster.
Which is why the President should be judged on more than just a degree. I want business/ private experience and some sort of background in the public sector. This was why Romney was an incredible candidate IMO.

I don't believe Obama had the experience in public or the private sector to be a successful president. If you want an outstanding public servant then go find an LBJ type that knows how to make deals. I'm not talking ideology but effectiveness in my last sentence.

I guess being a very successful governor for 6 years (by the time 2016 gets here) doesn't count?

Romney was awesome on paper and would have been a very good POTUS. However, he was too weak and timid on the campaign trail. ROmney was the exact opposite of Obama. Obama great on the campaign trail, horrible in the office, Romney horrible on the campaign trail, great in the office.

Define very successful?
I think he has won 3 elections in 4 years. That's just ridiculous.
His agenda has been implemented for the most part so will have to see if there is any correlations within the next few years.

Agreed. Walker is the epitome of substance over symbolism and would be a phenomenal POTUS.

That is because labor and dems are spoiled babies and he was still governor while he conducted 2 of those campaigns.

How exactly would he run against public sector unions for president?
He needs to govern Wisconsin for a while. I don't think he's going to be a good candidate...at least not for 2016.
I think he's a good leader, love his stance on public sector unions, and he clearly knows how to play the game carefully given the shady opposition he has had to deal with.....but I don't like him for President yet.

If only there was a way to quantifiably measure the performance and productivity of elected officials, Scott Walker would be a serious MVP candidate.
I'll put it this way. In baseball terms, Walker has been a m360 hitter, while Obama would be hitting around .194.
So much for that piece of paper from an accredited university (and I have two pieces of paper, so no sour grapes here).

Scott Walker will never be president. His lack of a college degree will do him in.
Out last 4 Presidents have been Ivy Leaguers.
Where has it gotten us?

Wow, that is incredibly disingenuous. So labor unions force a vote to remove him from office, and you accuse him of not governing?? That's messed up.
Not to mention that the standard would be 2 elections in 4 years for those that seek reelection. Or are you somehow claiming that people can only be qualified to be President once they have 8 years of executive experience?

obvious that you can't handle the truth. Many of these Walker voters were also Obama voters. They are moderates, independents, folks who understand that tough choices have to be made. In the long run, Walker did what was inevitable. Someone eventually was going to have to put an end to the public sector union grip on tax payer dollars.
You keep spinning.
