From The Washington Post:
As Scott Walker mulls White House bid, questions linger over college exit
Scott Walker was gone. Dropped out. And in the spring of his senior year.
In 1990, that news stunned his friends at Marquette University. Walker, the campus’s suit-wearing, Reagan-loving politico — who enjoyed the place so much that he had run for student body president — had left without graduating.
To most of the Class of 1990 — and, later, to Wisconsin’s political establishment — Walker’s decision to quit college has been a lingering mystery.
Not even his friends at Marquette were entirely sure why he never finished. Some had heard that a parent had fallen ill, or maybe there was some financial strain. Others thought he had simply had enough of school.
A bit more
Today, Walker, 47, is the governor of Wisconsin and a strong contender for the GOP’s 2016 presidential nomination. He is known for an astounding political hot streak: Since 1993, he has run 11 races for state legislature, county executive and governor — including a highly unusual recall election in 2012 — and he has won them all.
But before that streak came a string of defeats: the campus election, his failure to finish college and his first campaign for state office.
And it goes on and on and on - this is the same mainstream media outlet that didn't publish a peep on Obama's missing school transcripts or how he was able to go from Oxidental College straight to Colombia and Harvard.
5000+ comments mostly decrying this for the hit piece it is - here is one of them:
So let me get this straight. Walker left college to work, but our Maximum Leader remained in college smoking dope and snorting coke...
If you are a business looking for a new hire, which person would you pick? The Doper or the worker?
I can guarantee in the real world the "choom gang" clown would not get the nod...and for all you lefties who get the vapors because you think our Dear Leader is so brilliant, let's see his transcripts...in fact, our Supreme Deity brags often about his brilliance, so why the reluctance to release his grades?
And where are all the students who sat with our Stoner in Chief while he attended (supposedly) class? Why haven't they been tracked down and interviewed? I mean, if our EL Choomer is so bright, somebody must remember his brilliant oratory while speaking.
My guess is his grades were mediocre at best, and he got into Columbia and Harvard thanks to affirmative action...
Exactly...
