Another "C-Student" President?
George W. Bush is what you get when you "elect" a c-student as President of the United States. From "nuculer" to "strategery", to "My Pet Goat", to "You're doin' a heck of a job, Mikey", to waterboarding not being torture, we have found out that when you mix lack of curiosity with lack of empathy, you get a mess of a chief executive.
I mention this because the latest polls list McCain-Palin as being statistically even to slightly ahead of Obama-Biden. If the Republicans win, we're looking at another C-student President.
McCain was 894th out of 899 in his class at the Naval Academy. (John McCain also wrecked 4 aircraft prior to being captured. His captivity is probably the only thing that kept him from becoming a North Vietnamese ace.)
Sara Palin went to 5 colleges in 6 years before apparently graduating with a degree in communications from the University of Idaho.
In contrast, Barack Obama was elected head of Harvard Law Review, and Professor Lawrence Tribe called him "the best student I ever had." Does that mean that there's no chance in hell that he'll ever be President?
Chris Rock knows all about C-students - here's his take on the matter. Language NSFW
