An unctuous piece of shit, perfect for the Duhmerican electorate.

Why is it that the majority of the current crop of Republican candidates are like Shrub but only dumber? If America elects a Republican in 2012, hopefully it will be Romney or Huntsman. The rest of these yokels aren't qualified to be President of the drive through at McDonalds.

Perry has been described as Bush-lite.

Here's his college transcript:

Actually, not the worst transcript. It's interesting to note he took organic chemistry and flunked it. I aced it, but I was a chemistry major. He also got a D in economics. I guess that's why he buys into teatard economics. As for Obama, you don't get elected to head "The Harvard Law Review" unless you're very very smart:

The Harvard Law Review, generally considered the most prestigious in the country, elected the first black president in its 104-year history today. The job is considered the highest student position at Harvard Law School.

The new president of the Review is Barack Obama, a 28-year-old graduate of Columbia University who spent four years heading a community development program for poor blacks on Chicago's South Side before enrolling in law school. His late father, Barack Obama, was a finance minister in Kenya and his mother, Ann Dunham, is an American anthropologist now doing fieldwork in Indonesia. Mr. Obama was born in Hawaii.

You don't get into Harvard Law School at all unless you're very, very smart.

So let's see geniuses grades. Where are they? Oh and wrong again Fang...

At Harvard Law School, Obama graduated Magna Cum Laude, which, according to the Havard Law School website, is awarded to the top 10% of Harvard Law School students.

Also at Harvard Law School, Obama was accepted as one of 85-90 Editors of the Harvard Law Review, out of an estimated 1,000 students from the 2L and 3L classes that might have sought this honor. Obama was also elected President of the Law Review, which according to a Harvard Law spokesperson is not based at all on academics, but on other measures as would occur in any club.

How am I wrong again? I said that you don't get in HLS without good grades. You haven't said anything that affects that statement.

Less than a 3.3... But then this is purely speculation until we see the transcript. I am going to bet he left Columbia with at least a 2.9 and was an affirmative action placement into HLS.

Per the Wall Street Journal September 11, 2008, "Obama's Lost Years," Obama graduated from Columbia University (to which he transferred after his first two years at Occidental College in California), with a degree in Political Science without honors, so had a GPA less than a 3.3. His roomate Sohale Siddiqi indicated Obama itially felt alienated, felt "very lost," and used drugs to get high, which could have led to low grades initially. The roomate indicates that he then turned serious and "stopped getting high." Obama transferred to Columbia because he was concerned with urban issues. Based on his overall undergraduate GPA of less than a 3.3, Mr. Obama's admission to Harvard Law School may reflect affirmative action statutes, low grades early, then higher grades later (purely speculation) and/or other factors.

3.3 is a lot better then Perrys' GPA which according to Wikipedia is somewhere around 2.2:

Perry attended Texas A&M University, where he was a member of the Corps of Cadets, a member of the Alpha Gamma Rho fraternity and one of A&M's five yell leaders (a popular Texas A&M tradition analogous to male cheerleaders).[11] He interned with the Southwestern Company during the summer time as a door-to-door book salesman where he honed his communication skills.[12] Perry graduated in 1972 with a bachelor's degree in animal science. According to Perry's university transcript, he earned 20 B's, 27 C's, and 9 D's. A's and F's were rare.[13] Additionally, Perry was placed on academic probation for his poor performance in school.[14][dubious – discuss] While at Texas A&M University, Perry successfully completed a static line parachute jump at Ags Over Texas, a United States Parachute Association dropzone

But if it makes you feel any better it sounds like your favorite candidate, Herman Cain is pretty smart except for one glaring area. He doesn't realize that the Teaparty not so secretly hates black people. Maybe if he started wearing a KKK outfit his support would pick up.

What's cool is that the animal science major made a D in feeds & feeding. My poor ol' grandpa never got to go to school, but he knew how to feed animals.
