Harvard, Obama
Harvard, Bush
Harvard, Wagoner

Is that a hint?
Er....good point.
Except that Bush was at Yale, courtesy of daddy.
GWB was a graduate of Harvard Business School - MBA.
Stand corrected. How the hell did he get through that program, or any
program for that matter. My regard for Harvard has just dropped
several notches. I count many graduates as my friends and have
generally been impressed with their thinking skills, world view. They
failed Bush in a big way. He's gone on to successfully wreck several
businesses and a country.
Bush actually had slightly better grades than his contemporary Gore,
but I agree they were both well connected and that is how they got
past admissions.
It's one thing to get past admissions, it's another to graduate.

Both Yale and Harvard are known for rigor. I haven't a clue how Bush
could have mustered any rigor beyond drinking and snorting in the most
concentrated fashion.

Gore is obviously capable of rigor.
Gore flunked out of divinity school and law school.

A Republithug mantra. I dare say that the country would be in a hell
of a lot better shape if Bush hadn't gotten into office.

It's the truth. Albert S. Gore Jr. flunked out of Divinity school and
law school. This left him with only one field of endeavor left, politics
and he screwed that up too.

He wasn't the most electrifying campaigner, I'll give you that. He
was a hell of a lot more honest and forthright than the idiot who
spent 8 years in office. We'd be in a hell of a lot better shape if
the Supreme Court hadn't ruled in favor of Bush over states rights.

I'm sure you'll disagree and tell us how we've shored up our security
and protection and used 911 to create better relationships with the
world.

Screw the world. We need to survive as a nation regardless as to whether
the world likes us or not.

Yeah, **** 'em. Especially the ones with natural resources like oil,
cheap labor and enough yen to purchase dollars.

That'll serve us well.
