Bush Claims He "Got A B In Econ 101"

In a Thursday morning morning press conference at the White House, the President engaged in a little bit of grade inflation about his academic record.

"You need to talk to economists," he answered when asked if there was a risk of recession in the US economy. "I think I got a B in Econ 101. I got an A however in keeping taxes low, and being fiscally responsible with the people's money."

President Bush as an undergraduate at Yale did not in fact receive a grade of B in his economics course. Bush received a grade that would correspond with a C-.

A copy of Bush's Yale transcript posted at the humorous website GeorgeWBush.org states that the president received grades of 71 and 72 in Economics. The president took the course during successive semesters of his sophomore year, 1965-66.

President Bush, who earned a Bachelor's degree with a major in History at Yale, has long described himself as a 'C student.' He also has a Masters of Business Administration from Harvard.

Another attempt at Bush revisionist history,..­..

I still can't believe that this moron got a degree in history,..­.. Obviously he didn't retain much of it.

[drkazmd65]

And,.... how on earth can this Chimp claim that he "got an A however in keeping taxes low, and being fiscally responsible with the people's money."

Maybe he kept the people's taxes low (at least the rich ones) - but WTF with the fiscal responsibility BS?

[thegreatgiginthesky]

I would like to meet one person who feels that tax cuts have actually made a difference in their lives.

[FDRbyGodDemocrat]

I almost fell out of my chair when he said that. This idiot has presided over the greatest increase in the nation debt EVER! And he thinks he gets an A???

And no one (but Stewart/Colbert) will publicly say so.

[Podewumun]

I'll say one thing for His Petulancy, in the last six years I haven't had to drink a single glass of Metamusil.

[godlessclif]

Bush studied the History covered in Naomi Wolf's new book. Remember George when you get to the invade Russia part don't do it in the winter like
Napoleon and Adolph.

[nevergiveup]

he got his degree the same way he completed his seervice to his country. By cheating.

If he got a B in Econ 101, then I AM MOTHER THERESA.

[wmbear]

BOTH AT YALE ***AND***.­..

At the Harvard B School....

[VOTER]

Bushie, "But I can count from one to ten, backwards

and in Spanish too!"

Bush has to be the MOST STUPID OF ALL YALE GRADS!

[IzaakSzerman]

Gosh, I certainly hope so -- for Yale's sake.

But, having said that, I would remind everybody that there are TWO Yales (just like there are TWO Walter Reeds).

One is for Gentlemen C Big Club 'students'.

One is for everybody else.

[Firaxis]

He also rightly claimed that the democrat Presidential candidates are supporting MoveOn.org over our troops in harms way.

[thegreatgiginthesky]

Find a new tune skippy, no one is buying your bullshit anymore.

[djthedj]

Umm, this article is about your moron hero bankrupting America, dumbass. try to focus.

[JackSlappyNotYourPappy]

When did you start caring more about Iraqis than Americans sparky?

And don't try danceing around the question ... it's obvious to all!

[UkieOlie]

You must be a devout Christian. Happy with the new Crusades?

[IzaakSzerman]

When did you start caring more about the Amerikan Bush Obedient Fascist 'troops' than about the innocent Iraqis.

Maybe you are in favor of 'our troops' who love to torture and kill Iraqis and rape little 15 year old girls and murder their parents.

Maybe you would have displayed one of those disgusting 'Support Our Troops' ribbons in support of Hitler's m*therf*cking 'troops' raping Poland in 1939.

Pray for the Freedom Fighters in Iraq! Support them in their fight to expel the Bush Nazi 'troops'!

[bushdoescrack]

wonder what moron got for a mark in english?

[Macready]

C according the his transcript . . .this guy is a pathological liar . . . I think Alan Greespan knows more about Economics than the chimp and co . . . they only know how to start illegal wars to benefit the oil companies . . .

[easyrider1969]

A "C" at an Ivy League school is called a "gentleman's C". In schools of mostly excellent students who earned their way there, it is reserved for the children of our ruling class and atheletes who would have otherwised failed the course.

[Wintergreen4President]

Well, if they decide to grade illegal wars, he ought to get an F.

[shiznit613]

Do you remember what grades you had in high school. I am in my mid 20s and i cant remember. Is this really what we are focusing on? lol

[springsm]

It is a joke to think that bush earned even the C minus. He was the grandson of a trustee with money...no way did he earn anything. Too bad that he got through Andover without the truth coming before the administrators. Blah
And isn't it interesting that this lying creep even lied about a freshman class that he took as a sophomore. Does anybody believe anything that comes out of his mouth and how many have EVER believed him?

[JustinKase]

A sterling example of how this man manufactures his own reality, thus his self image, his accomplishments, his legacy, etc., etc.

[white mende man]

I give him an F in PRE-EMPTIVE WAR 101

[Iluvbush3]

Three Questions that should have been asked to the Presider n Chimp.

Mr. Chimp:
You speak to a balanced budget by 2012, can you explain how you took a balanced budget in 2001 and squandered it?
Part 2 of this question: Can you explain how a surplus of apx 2 trillion dollars has been squandered by this administration?

Mr. Chimp:
Do you feel that this government's constitution is an effective and resilaint document?
Part 2 of this question: If by an act of god or just plain luck, if you and the proxi president were to leave our presence at the same exact moment for utopia, wouldn't we be better off letting the constitution kick in, assending a democratic, (elected) speaker of the people to the presidency, with a democratic (elected) congress to back her up and erase your mistakes and our memory of your and yours from our collective conscience?

And #3:
Mr. Chimp:
Why do you always refer to the Government as your Government? Doesn't that sound a little dictatorial?
Part 2:
Please explain how it is YOUR GOVERNMENT.

[NoContest]

Certain;y, the ass whole was given the grade of 71 because when your daddy is the schools benefactor, you don't give heir children -0-'s even though the clown didn't read a page. And on the ficsally responsible lie, he ought to be tarred and feathered.

shrub isn't worth a fist full of used toilet paper to me!

[jacklambert]

I can answer that......­.Bush and his cronies don't believe in Government ( He has said so ) Their mission is simply to destroy it and the neocons have been very successful at that. Couldn't give enough tax breaks to his supporters so had a 'little' war. There's nothing like a war to empty Government coffers very quickly. When he's finished there won't be any Government left which will suit the neocons just fine!
The next Democratic Government won't have a pot to piss in unless it can get back the monies stolen. Nothing less that the Hague for these people will redeem America's soul.

Welcome to the new Banana Republic and don't send your kids to Harvard. They produce criminals

[Podewumun]

It really CREEPS me out that he always begins his 'speecheez' with 'My Fellow Citizens'.
OH, FUCK IT MAN, GO ON AND SAY IT!!!

COMRADES

[LenP]

Chimpy wana nana!

[outnow]

Bush is living proof that the Bush family descended from apes. The fittest Chimps survived. Check out Prescott Bush's photo. This is intelligent design? I think more of God than that!

[TXfemmom]

How in the hell did a C student get into the Business School, later, at any rate?

[IzaakSzerman]

He got in only because HE belongs to what George Carlin calls The Big Club:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ccYoVnBc_fk

[wmbear]

HE GOT IN BECAUSE HIS DADDY CALLED THE HARVARD B SCHOOL ADMISSIONS OFFICE...

And said, "Admit him."

[Dantana]

One of his less harmful lies

He probably believes he's telling the truth

[wmbear]

IF PONTIUS PILATE ASKED BUSH INSTEAD OF JESUS...

"What is truth?" You can be sure that Bush would stumble and fumble with the answer and come up with something totally ludicrous. I doubt in Bushworld that he even knows what truth is any more (and maybe never did, considerin­g)....
