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.

Princess,

isn't there a floater somewhere you need to go fish out?

[fitz]

Just trying to help you shorten this pointless thread by what is sure to be 30+ painfully monotonous pages of drivel.

That's SEIG

Hi,

When the President goes on the lecture circuit after he leaves office (he wants to make "big" money), perhaps he can talk about the courses he took at Yale and Harvard Business School and the grades he received?

Will anyone really care???

What do U think??????????

[getoffmedz]

lornejl - 100% correct! George W. Bush is a pathological LIAR and utterly devoid of the truth.

The man is fucking insane and has absolutely no business being our President, whatsoever.

If there ever was grounds for immediate resignation this is it! INSANITY! Clearly.

He must step down!

[speakingtruth2power]

Double impeachment is the only way to go.

putting Darth in charge would kill a million

Iranians so we could take their oil as well!

[getoffmedz]

speakingtruth2power - putting Darth in charge would kill him in no time?

heh

This article, like many others, do point out the true nature of this sinister being--he's a liar, cheat and criminal. What good does it really do to vent our feelings for such a criminal? We will still see the press giving him more time to lie, deceive and cover-up the truth.

Let's demand Impeachment!!! This is the only way that the truth can be brought out by fully investigating everything this monster states. His tongue is forked and that is why he does not speak a language we recognize.

No more lies!!!

Before we could have a RIGHT to demand impeachment we needed to elect more Democrats. We flunked out on the last election so unfortunately, we are stuck with this guy till his second term ends. We will be lucky if our country is still in one piece after this President finishes screwing it up.

I would give him an F for economics -- for failing the middle class and working people -- and an A for corruption. Actually, I'd kick him out of my school on ethical grounds.

[way2muchsense]

Just you try to get into Harvard Business School's MBA program with a C-average BA in history. From any school. Most of those folks are working at Payless Shoes, and not in a supervisory role, either. How the hell did 50-60 million Americans figure someone like that could be President of the United States? It boggles the mind.

[TLP]

Can't he tell the truth about anything?

[Rand]

Does his name count?

[JimGroom]

A grade C is only one away from a B...That is B as in bozo! One away is a close as we can expect this administration to be on anything of importance. If fact, one away would be an improvement.

[I can believe it's not butter]

A grade C is also only one away from a D, that is D as in dimwit, dolt, dunce, dullard, dork, dope, dummy, dufus, dunderhead, dipstick, dirtbag, dickhead, etc.

And it's just a short two away from an F, that is F as in failure, fibber, felon, fool, fathead, fuck-up...

[TJTelecaster]

A C- for a Bush is a B for the rest of us..!

Skull and Boners..Kerry, Bush same shit..!

Skull and Bone heads..!

[lornejl]

Don't taze me man !

[speakingtruth2power]

I think he got tazered when he called the guy "bro".

[Kungfublood]

Of course he was given that high grade because you do not fail a son of the head of the CIA and an alumnus of this great place of learning and academia.

[jont191]

i am surprized the fucking idiot got anything at all . he probably didn't attend class the same way he didn't in the national guard

[Mark701]

Oh, he got an A in keeping taxes low alright. Instead of raising taxes to pay for his war he borrowed us into a massive debt with China that our children will end up paying for, probably through increased taxation. What a moron. You have to wonder if he actually believes the shit that comes out of his mouth.

Hey, guys! Come ON! This is the closest to honesty that he's ever been!

"I got an A in.... being fiscally responsible with the people's money."

GWB 'fiscally responsible'?? Oh. That's a good one. That's akin to naming Himmler "Hienrich the Merciful"

George actually got a C-?... I wonder whose answers he copied to get THAT.
