"I didn't attend a prestigious university, yet I'm brighter than BOTH candidates in the last presidential election?" Brighter or received better grades? Remember Albert Einstein never completed grade school. I have not seen the results of their military intelligence tests. In an interview on MSNBC the interviewer asked Kerry about his score being lower than President Bush's. (Was the interviewer Brokaw? it was a fairly big name liberal anchor or near anchor.) Kerry's response was something about how he had not released his military records, so he did not know how the interviewer could know that. Grades are an indication of the ability to do school work, not an indication of intelligence or post educational success. I went to school with a guy who was definitely not above average intelligence, yet through hard work he earned good enough grades to get into medical school. I also knew geniuses that received good enough grades to graduate, but not much better. Now we know that President Bush tested higher on the military intelligence test and got better grades than Kerry at Yale. As experience has taught us, GPA is not an indicator of how good a President a person will make. Just looking at the current President and his predecessor, Clinton got better grade but was the worst President of the 20th Century, President Bush is the best President yet of the 21st century, and much better than Clinton.
