Even if we were to grant that this reflects poorly on Walker (and I don't think it does), many Presidents have done things in their youths that wouldn't exactly make them role models (notably drug usage). Obama's cocaine usage should have disqualified him, right?

Lol!  Wut?

What planet are you living on?  No US president is going to get dinged on the world stage simply because he tried a little nose candy when he was a teenager.

And they shouldn't, and don't, which is good.

lol at your talk about his "behaviour" and "bizarre deficit", as if not getting a college degree is some kind of criminal or scandalous action.

Why does he need to rectify it? People go to college to learn, to get the college experience and to get a job. Walker did all three. The only thing he didn't get was the physical diploma. You don't have to think college is a waste of time to recognise that the actual diploma doesn't mean that much, and is mainly a signal to get your first job.

Is Bill Gates suffering from a "bizarre deficit" because he dropped out of college? If he ran for office, should that be a decisive strike against him?

College degrees are required not because passing your senior level philosophy exam suddenly gives you magical powers, but in a world with limited time and many job applicants, a college degree is a useful shortcut for employers. In a Presidential race, that isn't necessary with only a small number of top tier candidates.
