Bush graduated Yale with a C average, (The only way he got into Yale was as a 'Legacy admissiion, meaning his daddy went there.) He then went on the Harvard business where his grades are unknown. It is not known how Bush got into HBS, but one can assume the Bush family had everything to do with it. They couldn;t have been vary good, as he failed at every business in oil he tried. Daddy finally got him a piece of the baseball team, and he didn't screw up.
Kerry got into Yale on his own. His grades are not known, but he did get into Boston College Law School on his own.
, so his GPA must have been excellent. He graduated BCLS and became a top prosecutor in Middlesex county. He put away sevral extremely high profile criminals. His daddy did not do that for him.
BTW- A lot of wingnuts keep posting how rich Kerry is. His WIFE is extremely rich, and you can be sure there is a pre-nup. Kerry has been in publc service all his life, a field that rarely allows one to become incredibly rich, as

According to USA Today, linked below, Bush edged out Kerry slightly in his grades. You'd think that a man who got into Yale on his own would have done better in school, than one who got in because he was daddy's legacy.
I've linked to the BBC article, an AP article.
You said "His grades are not known, but he did get into Boston College Law School on his own.
, so his GPA must have been excellent." Excuse me! How do you figure that?
Oh yeah, if Kerry was so great, then perhaps you could tell me about all the great accomplishments he had in his 20 years in the Senate? Where is the Kerry Law? What important legislation did he write? Or even lead the fight to pass? You can't tell me because he never did any of the above.
While Bush was trying to make a go as an entrepeneur, and later as an effective governor of Texas, Kerry was simply voting Yes or No for 20 years.

Kerry's family had some wealth and Senators make a great living so you are kidding yourself if you don't think he has bank too, just not as much as his wifey.
I've never heard the GPA thing, but I have heard Bush had either higher or at least comparable SAT scores to both Kerry and Gore. Google is probably your friend in answering this question.

I have heard that Bush's average was 77 and Kerry's was 76, so it shows you how petty cons are being by quibbling over 1 stupid point.
Also, I wanted to point out that he even managed to screw up the baseball team. He traded Sammy Sosa for Pete's sake!

Honey, what does it matter? These guys are old enough now that they don't have to be measured by the GPAs. Plus, grades do not make someone intelligent (I'm a college instructor. Trust me on this.).
We get that you don't like President Bush. And that's fine. That's your opinion. But what good are you doing yourself by expending all of this energy on a man you don't even like? Would you waste this much time on someone you knew personally that you hated?

Who cares what their GPA's were? Do you consider your GPA an accurate measure of who you are as a person? Didn't think so.

Exactly! Dumb as the day is long,! Like most athletes in U.S.A, if they could not have it tatoo'ed, they would not remember their name, let alone, remember the names of the Soldiers who have DIED for them,,,3000, and counting! Not even counting Canada's loss!
