Anyone who went to HBS and is honest will tell you that the MBA program is a joke academically. In orientation, the Dean actually says "Congrats guys, the hard part is done, now the easy part begins". Everyone there knows they will get a great job easily, so they party hard, like 5-6 nights a week. Only a minority of students actually study hardcore.

sounds like a lot of business schools i know.

It's all B-Schools. You can't compare the rigors of Law, Medicine or for that matter most graduate programs to an MBA program. MBA programs are not intellectually rigorous for the most part, they are management training programs for the most part. They give you a framework for analyzing business issues and making decisions.

And this is coming from an MBA graduate.

Another illiterate dem. I guess No Child Left Behind doesn't work after all. If you had been following the bouncing ball, I never made his education a forefront issue. I briefly outlined several key points of his qualifications and the rabid Obama supporters rushed and went on and on about Harvard Law to the point where they were pattently wrong and embarrassed themselves.

You're really an insufferable dude. No one embarrassed themselves. Reading back, it's just obvious that you're overrating what a JD/MBA really is and I was specifically trying to tell you what it is. You have still yet to tell me how an individual who does a JD/MBA doesn't take classes skewed towards business in law school when that's the case 99% of the time. Maybe that's why you ignored my last post where I showed you mathematically.

Anyway, you're literally making the dumbest argument I've ever seen and it's based on nothing but you're opinion. I'm also pretty sure you're an alias and if you are, I'd suggest you tone that shyt down.


Now let's PLEASE get back on topic.

yeah i know. i'm currently finishing up on my finance degree. it's crazy how many of my classmates party 4 days a week. :why:

then you go in the library and see engineering majors everywhere.

it's a lot easier when you're not learning much in the form of technical skills.

Exactly, and even worse, Mitt had no work experience prior to getting his MBA. It's more likely that the JD helped him get his job.

Your argument is full of holes. First, it's all opinions...that's what the message board is for :troll:

He was editor of HLR...but Policy as President is enmeshed with economics. You continuously attempt to downplay Romney's MBA/work experience as if it meant nothing or was minimal. Why? Because you and I both know, that there is no rebuttal for Obama to that. On foreign relations, many would argue that Obama is a disaster, while Romney is unproven. As for the "American people" he'll probably win the popular vote, if not the whole thing...you have a point, but I'm also sure that the "American people" would be more aware of Snookie's pregnancy than they would of the DNC.

I downplay Mitt Romney's MBA/Work experience because as I said, creating profit for your wealthy clients and partners by closing down plants and raiding pension funds is not a skill applicable to being President of The United States, I'm sorry. Any job "created" by Mitt Romney was an anomaly, he is known for raiding companies.

On Foreign Relations, Obama has decimated Al Qaeda's leadership and its ability to wage war, and ended the Iraq War. There isn't a single policy on the international front that Mitt Romney said that he would follow, so you can assume that it is status quo.

As for Romney winning the election? :heh:

We could go on and on on.and speculate til the end of time...with college professor reccomendations etc etc...we could call Mittens MBA a "glorified business degree" as much as we could assume Obama made Harvard review because he was "black" or tokenized for it. (I don't think either are true)

Yes, it's true that potential speculation is endless, but I do think we have ample biographical info on both men's college years now to at least support my point that Romney's degree was almost certainly pure business. All the info we have stresses his completely depoliticized education and educational choices. In short, before he was governor, and maybe even then, he did not have an education in politics, broadly speaking.

Who knows? If Obama applied to the MBA/JD and had no interest in HLR would he have gotten in? It Mittens wanted to forego the MBA/JD program and take a stab at HLR would he have gotten it? WHo knows.

Yes, we don't know the answer to this, but I'm willing to lean towards arguing that Romney would not have been able to do the HLR- Obama was a con. law specialist, while Romney only did business law.

But for what we know...Harvard JD/MBA>>>Harvard JD/HLR for President

Can you elaborate on this? It might have been more work, but substantively, I'm not sure it has the advantage if it was purely business-oriented.

Bain/ Boston Group Consulting>>> (junior) Civil Rights Attorney

Maybe. Obama wasn't a civil rights attorney for very long, I'll give you that. He did accomplish a considerable amount in that period, though. I also honestly believe that community organizing shouldn't be dismissed in this discussion, much as some Republicans scoffed at it as a non-job. In many ways it's more substantive than the managerial many MBAs . It also teaches you a lot about the connection between federal, state, and city politics, and between all of those and nonprofit work, community-building, the lives of average Americans, and the ways the problems that affect them intersect. Until Romney was a governor, he would have had no experience with any of that.

Quick question...roll back to 2008...WHo's more "qualified" on paper? Obama or McCain?

To be honest, I don't remember McCain's background now. I've completely forgotten it.

LOL sorry but you are just plain DUMB and your "suggestions" mean less than nothing. After being consistently wrong and making few if any points, you continue down this road of speculating about what classes either one of them may or may not have taken because otherwise your original argument doesn't have a leg to stand on. You continuously take readers down a road of predictions and assumptions. For the umpteenth time, Romney had to get admitted to BOTH programs seperately, BOTH programs have seperate graduation requirements and only a few will cross register to satisfy BOTH completion requirements. He has TWO professional degrees. You have NO idea what classes he took, for all you know Obama could have taken "build-a-bear fluff classes." Saying that his corporate/ private equity experience within his MBA program isn't relatable to being US President and/or that it is balanced with Obama's lonestanding JD and "community organizer" experience is laughable.

As for responding...don't worry you can make whatever point you think you have to appease yourself, but I won't respond. I blame myself for even entertaining this after your previous posts.
