Perhaps, MrLars, but it's certainly an indicator of potential, if not out-right ability. By the same token, isn't it closed minded to assume that simply because he has a famous dad and his family is well-to-do that his degree was a give-me, and not earned? That would be every bit as wrong as saying that any minority in a position of responsiblity only got there because of racial quotas. Am I to undertand then that you also believe Mr. Gore's academic credential's to be equally worthless, as he also comes from a family of power and privalige? Do we further assume that anyone with such a degree who was likewise blessed (or cursed) by a pedigree must be undeserving of that sheep-skin?
Again, look at the whole man. George W. actually worked in the private sector, putting those degrees to work, and with some measurable success. Again I ask, what evidence (aside from the fact that he's of "the other political party), do so many democrats and liberals base their strident assertions that our President is a dim-wit? I just don't understand, that's all. I may not agree with every decision he makes, but I have a great deal of respect for him and his accomplishments. I also believe he's a pretty bright guy...not omnicient mind you, but reasonably sharp over all. And he was a F102 pilot:D. Oh yeah...they only let idiots fly fighter jets;).
