>>>Well that's true - everyone makes verbal gaffes. But that doesn't change the fact that Palin is simply stupid...or at least to dumb to lead a country like the USA. Palin holds a Bachelor of Science degree in communications-journalism from the University of Idaho. Obama went to Harvard and led the Harvard Legal Review....hmmm the distinguished Harvard grad vs the country bumpikn from Idaho. Come on dude! Really ???

You mean I can't call him uneducated. Yes he attended Yale - and Harvard too - however he wasn't a great student either:

Entered Yale in 1964 with a SAT of 1206 (Verbal 566, Math 640), 200 points below Yale's average freshman in 1970.
Graduated Yale in 1968 with a 2.35 GPA
In the fall of 1970 rejected from admission at University of Texas Law School.
In 1973 applied to Harvard Business School with a 2.35 GPA. 1973 admission statistics are unavailable, but for an incomplete comparison today's Harvard students average a GPA of 3.5 - no students were accepted with a GPA lower than 2.6.
Graduated Harvard Business School with an MBA and below-average grades.

I guess the other thing I should of pointed out is that a person who goes to an excellent college and gets crappy grades....oh you know what? Why bother.
