Wow, thanks for the heads up. For a while there I thought he went to MIT like ace student and Nobel prize winner Krugman. /s/
If being a B-grade Aggie is all I knew about him (don’t forget his actions on immigration, mandatory vaccines, the big road through Texas) then he’d have my vote.
I worry that once he gets in he would get stuck on stubborn on some important liberal issue.
It should be obvious by now that Obozo flumked sandbox 101 and crayon 101. That produced deep emotional scars that are apparent even today.
“A” students work for “C” students.
I’d prefer the reverse, myself.
I agree. It's a lesson hard-learned. The real world is not found in any text book. Look at the learned fools Obama's surrounded himself in getting us out of the ditch.
Amen to that.
I’m no fan of Perry but, to me, this is a non-issue. As far as I know, many people who run for president have mediocre grades - Al Gore and John Kerry, anyone?
This only matters to stupid Washington insider eggheads and liberal hatemongers.
Grades have nothing to do with intelligence really. University is simply a matter of studying, some people don’t study too much and get the B’s and C’s, while others study all day and get A’s. This is for the majority of students, there are the few that do not need to study to get good grades. I myself was good in university, however, I know some people who had 4.0 GPA’s and you could tell that they would never make it big in the professional world because they just study well but do not know how to actually get things done.
I’m not really defending Perry, just merely stating my views on University education and the perception of intelligence. A stupid person studying 10 hours a day can get better grades than an intelligent person who studies 10 minutes a day, in this case we dont know the circumstances, but I would give Perry the benefit of the doubt and say that he has to be intelligent to get to where he is in life. A better way to gauge intelligence would be through a battery of I.Q tests to be quite honest. Not the bogus ones on the internet, proper WAIS or Binet IQ tests.
How can you say that? Do you know Obama's grades? Are you trying to say he is average of intelligence and a good leader?
Perry's grades were posted over a month ago and Perry even commented on them. This is the organized attack by the Mittsters people to continue to paint Perry in a certain light. To make him defend his conservative credentials, to make him seem stupid or fake so his real record on jobs, the economy, life, military, border security is not even considered.
Perry will retail politic his way out of these smears. He is very good one on one, in crowds and in speeches. Romney is good at stealth politics and debates. His speeches are plastic and his glad handing is phony.
NPR (aka "Public Radio International") is All Commie and no brains.
I agree.
I'm no perry fan but he was smart enough to fly jet fighters and you can't be stupid and do that.
The one has no published grades, birth certificate, social security number from any state that he ever lived in, records of girl or boy friends, BUT he has admitted that he did coke and smoked crack, and hung out with communist professors.
Move along, pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.
Too bad Rick didn’t talk to Barry. He could have just sealed all of his records. Oh I forgot only a Democrat can do that and never be questioned. Nevermind.
