Lousy student, to say the least...

1. The D in economics

is telling.

2. Looks like Shakespeare had his way with Perry.

3. might have been a lousey student, but heck he is the head of state in Tx

Not every smart man is rich and not every not-smart guy is poor. I used not-smart cuz I didn't want say dumb or stupid - lol. He probably received a C in PE cuz he skipped. I know I did - Cs all the way in PE cuz I couldn't get my butt out of bed. I also received a D in economics because I took it in my very first semester of college. I didn't know what I was doing. This was back in the day where the actual professors sat in a big room during registration and you walked up and they signed you up for their class. The instructor was terrible and boring. Wasn't he also in ROTC or corps or whatever it is they had back then.

Remember this was before he became a Republican - he was a Democrat back then.

5. I realize he was a Dem back then, but that doesn't improve his

knowledge of Economics, history or chemistry. I find it amusing that he went to an agriultural school and apparently didn't like chemistry etc.

6. Heck I'm learning more this second time around at the old college wars

So much more interesting now.

9. Yeah but if Obama was a C student

rethugs would have a field day w/it....Obama was an A student from some of the best schools in the country...

4. Whoa, how did that get out?

The nutcases of the right often point out Obama did not release his, and they'll be louder about it if Perry is the R candidate.

7. It would seem that somebody decided that not everybody deserves privacy.

Bush II's were leaked, too. There'd be hell to pay if Gore's, Kerry's, or Obama's were leaked. Privacy is a sacred duty, unless it helps your politics. Then it's thoroughly secondary.

BTW, I've met very few (R) administrators. Even in Texas. And those--esp. in Texas--could probably have been bribed for not very much.

8. Ah, a true protoge of Gee Dubyah Bee

[ThatsMyBarack]

10. Bet he got a D in salami!

;)

[Proles]

11. I wonder how he managed a C in gym... I mean seriously.

Those are A's handed out like candy nowadays.
