Bad? Brilliant?

John McCain graduated from the Naval Academy 894 in a class of 899. Barack Obama graduated from Harvard Magna Cum Laude, that typically means you graduated at the top of your class. While John Kerry did not do as well as Obama in school, he still went to the best of schools and averaged a 76 at Yale, an 81 in his senior year. Still far better than George W. Bush.

If you remember, Kerry was dogged for his affluent life and his education. But yet, Americans still vote for the dumbest guy on the block because for whatever reason we cannot seem to understand that the guy that is smart is not someone we should fear. If I were not as smart, I would want to elect someone much smarter than I and lets face it, Obama is that guy. McCain....ah no.

We are Americans, we are fearless, at least we used to be.

Oh but Illionis, I forgot, you cannot get into a doctorate program unless you have maintained at least a B Average in your Master's program.
  
Hi Sue

Oh yea---I want someone who graduated almost last in a class of 899 to tell me what is best for me.

Especially one, who has clearly had a history of self-indulgence and doing almost anything for that extra buck or fame.

yea---I think I would hire an accountant or maybe a broker like that to watch out for my money.

lol
maybe someone else can come up with someone else they might hire to do something for them with those kinds of credentials.
thanks

That's because McCain's people have been shoving his POW status at them and now all this bs with Russia and Georgia, it'll get shoved even more.

Me either Vidya, but how many people ask their physicians what place they were in their granduating class? People select a physician without knowing but .....

funny that you asked.

I am one of those people who asks, a lot of questions, including that one, of my doctor. Years ago, my oldest son was in a terrible accident, and broke his jaw, while in the Northwestern E.R. at 5am, I asked my son's surgeon how many juvenile jaws he had operated on, he said he mostly had preformed wrist surgery. My son had beeen scheduled for surgery at 6am, but we had left for U of C hospital 20 minutes after 5.

It pays to ask, and information, history and even G.P.A., all add up to a relatively helpful if not perfectly accurate assessment.

As far as class rank, sure, not everyone asks that specific question, but the answer means a lot.

If I saw a doctors placement in his class and his disgraceful history plastered all over the news and internet saying DANGER DANGER, I would sure stay away from him/her----especially if there was another one that has a history that says I would be in really great care.----actually even if there wasn't another one on this planet. lol

but you all turn your kids over to him----there is always someone who will----

Barack graduated Magna Cum Laude which means his overall GPA was 3.65 to 3.84 out of 4.0.

Barack is a very intelligent man who applied himself. Sounds like my kind of president.

NOPE NOT IN AMERICA. We want some guy that talks in 3-5 word sentences and uses tough talk. Listen to McSame "the surge is working" "I was right about the surge" "Obama does not understand"

And this is the person PUMA is advocating for people to vote for.
