Crummy grades aren't reason enough?
Somebody who presents himself as an intellectual and a great mind isn't going to want people to find out most of his college marks were "C"s.
And if a politician can get away without revealing information about himself or herself, they won't divulge the information. The problem for most of them is that they can't get away with it.
Adlai Stevenson also kept his college grades under wraps. Was that because Stevenson, the darling of the intellectuals, pretty much failed out of law school -- or because he gave his birth place as Kenya or Indonesia?
Regardless of where he was REALLY born, 0bama wouldn’t have been able to get foreign aid had ‘Kenya’ not appeared in his college application.. It’s probably the case that ‘Kenya’ is his place of birth in his records.
I know it was said that Eisenhower was a much more voracious reader than was the IL Stevenson.
