“‘Biden’s own academic career was unimpressive—he repeated the third grade, earned all Cs and Ds in his first three semesters at the University of Delaware except for As in P.E., a B in “Great English Writers” and an F in ROTC, and graduated 76th in his Syracuse Law School class of 85 students.’”

I will cut him a little slack on his grades. I cut him no slack about lying about it.

I was cut from university due to “Academic Insufficiency” That was a polite way of saying, “hey boy you flunked out.”

I spent a few years on the drilling rigs (that will get your mind right) and went back to school and made outstanding grades and took many chem courses as electives though not required and other science courses that were not required for my degree in geology. This paid off for me big time a few years later.

When the oil field went down the tubes again in 1983 I had all the prerequisites for pharmacy school. Thus I did a 6 year major in 2-3/4 years by going to school year round.

I was 35 years old then with a wife and child. Joe could not have done that. He has not the inner strength.

I never realized just how big jug-ears Obama’s ears really are!!

...he repeated the third grade?????

An A in PE?

Wow....he’s a real savant, this one.

I think that that experience (3rd grade, take two) was where Oh-No-Joe learned how to cheat.   (Otherwise, he also would have flunked out in 4th grade, 5th grade, 6th grade, etc., and would probably STILL be going to school!)

Third Grade Joe.

That would make a good sign!       :-)

I remember Senator Phil Gramm used to give a stump speech that said
“I failed the third, seventh, and ninth grades”. It was meant to show how he overcame adversity and a learning disability, but all anyone heard was “this guys is a moron”. Reminds me of Biden.

That does sound a bit like Biden, doesn't it?   (I can picture Biden saying, "I was in fifth grade, when I was first old enough to vote.")        :-)
