Sure, I guess 3.5 years studying poli sci/international relations = ignorance. And since I got enough credits to graduate early, that probably means I'm dumb as well.
EDIT: Don't get me wrong, fiscally I'm as conservative as you are. But fiscal problems are not caused by the President, they are caused by irresponsible politicians more concerned with re-election and political aspirations (read: Newt Gingrich)
