how the fuck does a university degree regardless of the school and/or the grade prove ones level of intelligence
you're so fucking stupid you still don't understand that a university degree does not spell intelligence, with a country full of shit-heads like you, I don't see a future for it
We have never seen his school records. For all we know they were fabricated just like his Hawaiian birth.
Here is info on grade inflation at Harvard, other Ivy League Schools.
Ivy League grade inflation
Evidence of grade inflation at Ivy League schools:
In 1966, 22% of Harvard undergraduate students earned A's. By 1996, that figure rose to 46%. That same year, 82% of Harvard seniors graduated with honors.
In 1973, 31% of all grades at Princeton were A's. By 1997 that rose to 43%. In 1997, only 12% of all grades given at Princeton were below the B range.

When a report found recently that eight out of every 10 Harvard students graduate with honors and nearly half receive A's in their courses, the news prompted plenty of discussion and more than a few jokes. But is grade inflation worth worrying about?

So Bush goes to Harvard when an A was an A and queerbait gets all of his grades scaled or just assigned based on him being a foreign exchange student and Muslim.

Quote from reg:
Maybe you should have left out Alger Hiss and Eliot Spitzer to spruce up your list a bit.
Did you just copy and paste from Wikipedia without reading it first?
That Editors position is just a political thing anyway. Had Barryella been White he would wouldn't have been named as Editor, in fact, he would never have gotten into school.
Definitely. George W. Bush is probably the smartest President we have had in the White House, ever. Nixon may have come close to GWB in terms of IQ. Nobody seems to get it that GWB was putting on a big act to make people underestimate him. Look how that worked out for Saddam Hussein!
Obama got into Harvard because he's black. He failed all his courses but they graduated him anyhow because that's what they do. That bullshit position he had, editor of the Harvard Law Review or whatever, was a fucking joke. The guy probably has an IQ of less than 90. Unreal that he is in the White House. His wife is apparently illiterate as well, the permanent staff there are saying that she can't read the signs in the White House.
Don't forget that Obama has direct links to Africa and was around when the HIV virus first came here. You think that's a coincidence? You think it's a coincidence that they found military explosive in the wreckage of Building 7?
Yeah, I thought so.
