John McCain Was A ‘D’ Student Video | Admits He Graduated 894th of 899
President Bush has already proven to the world that you can still be a dumbass and gain political support. Those who think that McCain is Bush part two may just have their proof in this video.
“I graduated fifth from the bottom of my class,” he admits.
While president Bush admitted he was a ‘C’ student, McCain’s confession doesn’t translate nearly as well. By today’s grading scale, he would have been a ‘D’ student. Not that good grades in school reflect how successful you are as a president.
I doubt this video would hurt his feelings, seeing that he also happens to be computer illiterate.
Sure, president Lincoln never graduated from public school, yet there’s no doubt that he was one of the greatest U.S. presidents. I’m a firm believer that it takes both book smarts and street smarts to be a good leader.
Still, the way McCain stumbles over the subject makes me wonder if he has either. I doubt this video would hurt his feelings, seeing that he also happens to be computer illiterate.

Actually there is a lot of doubt that Lincoln was one of the greatest presidents: http://www.lewrockwell.com/orig2/lincoln-arch.html

LOL, “McBush” is truly an idiot. Surely no one with an ounce of common sense is taking him seriously.

Lincoln also became a lawyer, so it’s not like he was uneducated

I wouldn’t say it was a combination of “street” and “book” smarts for Lincoln. He learned a lot and read a lot on his own, so he was very self-taught. Don’t know if there’s really such a thing as “street” smarts anyway – it’s all one in the same.

The point is, no matter that it takes both street and book smarts to be a good president, the fact is, McCain has an equivalent “D” in one out of the two desired qualities. Even worse, he’s computer illiterate! Do we really want a person who doesn’t know how to use an invention that’s been around for almost 50 years – an invention that’s as common as the computer- to run our country?

Um, Lincoln trashed civil liberties and the Constitution much worse than W. Bush has.
He tried to protect the union; he didn’t give a crap about equal rights for slaves. C’mon.

well, i really don’t think that the graduation ranking is a indicator for doing a good job as president. take the british prime minister brown who is said to be very well educated … i don’t think he’s doing his job better than former prime minister blair. our former foreign minister fischer (i am from germany) has not graduated but people were quite satisfied with his work (he ranked always on top of surveys about politicians). i think politicians should be ranked by their deeds not by their education.

Kerry was a C student, and couldn’t get into Harvard Law School.
Gore flunked out of graduate school at Vanderbilt Divinity School, and dropped out of law school. Bush has a graduate degree from Harvard.

Lincoln was one of the worst presidents we have had. He wouldn’t negotiate to try to prevent a war in which 600,000 persons died, and his Emancipation Proclamation only freed slaves in the Confederate states,

Lincoln shares responsibility for the mess our nation has become, as he was an authoritarian federalist who amassed power in the federal government at the expense of the states. I hate how he is lionized.

Lincoln this, Lincoln that. This is about how retarded Bush and McCain are and how they really shouldn’t be in the positions they are/are running for.
