For all you who think or though Kerry, you are 100% wrong -- Bush did -- point proven that despite what people read or think about him, they still believe whatever they want....and for those who do realize Bush had better grades,...their childish response is, "well he had more money" or "he cheated" or "what does that prove"....well it proves that all of those out there who think Kerry did better have no credibility. Again its not about who did better, its about Kerry supporters (dems) refusing to believe even the simplest facts.

Actually, Bush had a high C average and Kerry had a low C average. Bush was also more involved in school events.

Sen. John F. Kerry's grade average at Yale University was virtually identical to President Bush's record there, despite repeated portrayals of Kerry as the more intellectual candidate during the 2004 presidential campaign.
Kerry had a cumulative average of 76 and got four Ds his freshman year — in geology, two history courses and political science.
His grades improved with time, and he averaged an 81 his senior year and earned an 89 — his highest grade — in political science as a senior.
In 1999, The New Yorker magazine published a transcript showing Bush had a cumulative grade average of 77 his first three years at Yale, and a similar average under a non-numerical rating system his senior year.
Bush's highest grade at Yale was an 88 in anthropology, history and philosophy. He received one D in his four years, a 69 in astronomy, and improved his grades after his freshman year, the transcript showed.
Under Yale's grading system in effect at the time, grades between 90 and 100 equaled an A, 80-89 a B, 70-79 a C, 60 to 69 a D, and anything below that was a failing grade.

Don't know about grades at Yale, but Bush has more common sense than Kerry.

John Kerry had almost the same grades as George Bush. However, Mr. Kerry's explanation for the "not so great" grades was that like most democrats he was out feeding the poor or doing charitable work...not partying his *** off like some dummies we know.

Kerry had the better grades, and was accepted there based on academic merit.
Bush was a C student. The only reason he got into Yale was because his daddy was an alum who could afford to send him.

The better question would be how did either one manage to get accepted to Yale in the first place...
