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.

How figgin dare anyone out there make fun of dubya after all he has been through.

He lost his attorney general, North Korea and China are acting up. He is fighting two protracted wars with islamofascists.

The democrats turned out to be bunch of fucking pansies, stabbin him in the back, and now hes going through endless senate hearings. All you hufftards care about is ....making witty comments about him.

HE'S A HUMAN! What you don't realize is that Dubya is making crazed liberal blogs all this money and all you do is write a bunch of crap about him.

He hasn't made a decision in years. The "surge" was called that for a reason because all you people want is MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE.

LEAVE HIM ALONE! You are lucky he is still the President for you BASTARDS!

LEEAVE DUBYA ALLLONE! . . . Please.

Arianna talked about professionalism and said if Dubya was a professional he would have pulled off the war no matter what.

Speaking of professionalism, when is it professional to bash someone who is going through a hard time.

Leave Dubya alone please . . . Leave dubya alone . . . right now . . . I mean it.

Anyone that has problem with him you deal with me, because he is not well right now.

Leave him alone.

[lornejl]

Hey, that was kinda funny.

[mommadona]

Got the video up yet?

[fitz]

Well you started it, posting the video.

Which is making it difficult for me to crack on you as hard as I should.

Don't worry it will probably pass. And ST2P is always around and usually needs a backhand to the temple.

[MoeJava]

I'd love to see someone from Yale agree with this - on prime time TV, for all to see.
I'd like to see someone confirm his status in the National Guard - on Prime time TV, for all to see.
Otherwise, I disregard everything this hump has to say.

Bush Derangement Syndrome.

Unhinged Liberals.

Congress approval at 11%.

When democrats won the election in November, 2006 and took control of Congress, you really thought the democrats would destroy Bush. Force him out of office.

Instead, everything Bush wants gets passed.

That really explains why so many of you are so completely unhinged.

Carry on, liberals.

God bless the troops.

You do know you voted for Cartman right lindudetard?

Uh oh for you ...

From Rasmussen Distorts: The GOP Polling Shill

"Slip Sliding Away ... Slip Sliding Away"

Dems Up By 18 In Congressional Favor!

Democrats have opened an eighteen point lead in the Generic Congressional ballot.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that, if the Congressional Election were held today, 50% of American voters say they would vote for the Democrat in their district. Just 32% would opt for the Republican.

*** A month ago, the Democrats lead was just ten percentage points, 47% to 37%. ***

LOFL

America may be disappointed with the Dems but ... they hate republicans!

[thegreatgiginthesky]

Correction, "she" voted for Timmy.

[getoffmedz]

lindamart60 - "Congress approval at 11%." Damn, you are consistent?

Cite your source?

Did you know that your continued obsessed support of this failed administration kills our loyal and trusting troops?

Think about it?

[VOTER]

Careful, God will smite you for calling upon Him when

you support spilling blood for oil and war profits. He doesn't.

700,000 + dead because of BushCo.

What have you done to support BushCo besides sitting at home at your keyboard?

Visited a VA hopsital lately? I have and do.

Enlisted yet? Been there/done that for Vietnam.

Take your beliefs and put yourself in uniform.

Carry on, you sniveling warmongering chickenshit.

[RichardD]

He is a D- President, who never learned to tell the truth.

[LenP]

I love how Bush has been reading all of these books. To try to learn some context for what the hell is going on now...

MIGHT HAVE BEEN A GOOD IDEA TO ELECT SOMEONE WHO KNEW WHAT THE HELL THEY WERE DOING IN THE FIRST PLACE!

Like Al Gore...

like John Kerry...

[Fuji]

Clinton said, "I did not have relations with that woman."

Bush Senior said, "No new taxes."

etc etc etc.

Who cares.

[BUSHLICKER07]

Hey doucebag, because one has an effect on the public (taxes) and one doesn't (blowjobs). You understand you freakin moron!

[Fuji]

Oh, I understand. And can spell.

[speakingtruth2power]

Fuji is another stall queen
'her' name means fullojizz!
Hypocritical Homophobes
dig those feminine aliases!

And please understand that I am not bashing the gay and lesbian community who stand proud of their orientation.

I object to the gay bashing hypocrites who engage in activities that they feel is perverted, dirty and shameful. Especially the ones who like them very young like Denny Hastert.

The Bush crime family exploits these GOP politicians with their character flaws and even help them climb the leadership ladder, then uses blackmail on them to promote fascism.

[eugenegerard]

If it was a C-Minus it probably was in reality a D or F. His daddy either paid somebody or gave them an offer they couldn't refuse to raise rhe grade.

[tiredoftheBS]

Take a look at his transcript. He certanly didn't take any courses that were particularly tough (anthropology, geology and the like). And his grades stunk to high heaven! By the way, I don't believe that a 71 is even a C at Yale, more likely a D.
Anyway how did a turd like this ever get to be president? More likely he would turn out to be some coke snorting, alcoholic failure if you ask me. Oh, you say he's that and more? NEVERIND.

[lindamart60]

And with all of that, the democrats couldn't find two people to defeat him? Not only did America elect him as president in 2000, but in 2004, President Bush received the MOST votes in history.

Bush Derangement Syndrome.

God bless the troops.

[lornejl]

Why don't you want the troops to have a break ? Why did repigs block the bill to give the troops a break ?Why do repubs hate the troops with every fiber of their being

[Jezdukowski]

In a Newsweek poll of June 21, 2007, Bush received an approval rate of 26%, the lowest point of his presidency, and the second lowest of any president in the last thirty five years, second only to Richard Nixon's record low seven months before he resigned from office.

Yes, Lmart, God Bless The Troops - send 'em to Walter Reed!

[Kungfublood]

There are no democrats other than Kucinich and a handful of others that are ignored by the "bush buddies" in the media!

[BreadandRoses]

Actually, lindafart, Bush LOST the popular vote in 2000, and was selected by the Supreme Court's rightwing majority.

In 2004, there were enough voting irregularities to cast doubt on the legitimacy of the election.

The reason Bush received the most votes in history in 2004 was simple----more people voted than ever in history because there are more people than ever in history.

You are another of the Professional Cretins who flock to the Republican party, like lemmings rushing to the sea.

[godlessclif]

What did he get in Geology [rocks for Jocks]

[LenP]

What a maroon!

[lindamart60]

Five pages worth of Bush Derangement Syndrome.

Liberals elected a democratic majority thinking they would destroy President Bush.

Instead, your democratic controlled congress is making sure every bill of President Bush's gets passed, every nominee confirmed.

Yes, your hatred of President Bush is growing. And, you are becoming more unhinged.

Carry on, liberals.

God bless the troops.

[JackSlappyNotYourPappy]

Hey lookey it's one of those fools suffering from:

Failure Acceptance Syndrome!

[getoffmedz]

What lindamart60 no outright lies, today? Just attack the Commentors.

Freedom of Speech getting on your nerves?

[speakingtruth2power]

Hey medz,

Do you think that Linda is another Stall Queen?

Hypocritical homophobes like feminine aliases!

[DELICIOUS]

A FREAKIN' "F" IN HUMANITIES, LOGIC,GOVERNMENT, REALITY, ECONOMOICS,MILITARY SCIENCES, SOCIAL SCIENCES, RELIGION. AN A+ IN EGONOMICS, GREED, STUPIDITY, LANGUAGES, COMPASSIONLESS, ARROGANCE, IGNORANCE AND GUTLESSNESS.

[PerryClease]

He "surged" the economic grade.

He majored in History! Did he learn anything?

[speakingtruth2power]

He learned his daddy's friends would always

bail him out of any failure he would attempt.

[godlessclif]

Why are these guys always members of the DKE frat?
Dan Quayle also a DKE at DePaul, DePaw?

[AnnArky]

Of course we all know he flunked Cognitive Recall 101. He also flunked Civics, World History, English and Math. He did pass, with flying colors, Brush Clearing for Idiots.

[TheSainOne]

The estate tax was created to prevent an American aristocracy. Bush is the poster child for why there should be a high estate tax. He is truly the worst result of aristocracy. Just like the English Lords, he is just as incompetent if not more so.

[shanester]

well said!!

For the few idiots who still support this warmongering lowlife please tell me what they see in him as a a leader worth admiring??

I don't get it!!!

I look at him and I see utter contempt..­.and I'm not even American!! LOL

[Kungfublood]

"tell me what they see in him"
Wellll..he is as stupid or even maybe uh..a little more even morrrr stupid than his average supporter. heh. So they naturally get a fuzzy warm all over feeling for the in your face stupidity of the man.

[Fuji]

Really. I thought the FEDERAL system was designed to prevent an American aristocracy. The estate tax has nothing to do with preventing "American Royalty," as you have it in your fevered brain.

[ContraEgoiste]

And who enacted the Estate Tax law?? Wait, don't tell me. You too got a "B" in civics 101.

[speakingtruth2power]

"I thought" is another oxymoron

from yet another Stall Queen!!

It's not their sexual proclivity,

it's all the GOP hypocrisy!!!

[godlessclif]

What do you think a Baron is?
A rich guy who doesn't pay taxes.
