This is a duplicate thread. This thread is in the Politics forum already. Can a mod please combine them?

Ditto.

He got his grades back when A's and B's were rare.

Perry's grades were released years ago during campaigns or around the time he became governor. This new "leak" isn't new news to Texans; it's just getting publicity because he may run for a higher office.
Good point..And I would love to see Obama's grades, and extracurricular..I am really just curious to see them so I can find something that qualifies him to be President. So far, nil.

Oh yeah and btw...Steve Jobs never graduated College and studied Calligraphy when he did.

Please don't take this as a strong Perry supporter, i've met the man and have friends who has known the man for years. He's okay but a little arrogant.

Pettiness doesn't belong to just one political party. Both do it. It just changes depending on who has the White House. Conservatives have been chiding Obama for not releasing his educational records and the epic birth certificate debate also belonged to them.

College transcripts don't matter at this point in his career. I'm not his professor. I'm a citizen of his state and judge him according to how he has governed here. The grade he got in PE doesn't really matter any more.

I'm a liberal and I'm saying I don't give a damn about his college grades...it's his track record as governor and the things coming out of his mouth now that concern me.

One of those peace love and happiness hippy-type liberals? I only ask because you mentioned you like to get nude in another thread.

It still has me giggling like a school-boy, sorry. I mean that with all due respect, in a good way.

They didn't even let ladies into A&M back then, much less liberal ladies!

Jimmy Carter graduated in the top 10% of his Naval Academy class, and was a Nuclear Engineer (and a pretty good one from a few of the accomplishments during his short Navy career). Did that make him a decent President. Uh, no..

I'm not a Rick Perry fan but I must say his college transcripts should have no bearing with regards to him running for public office.

The PJ Tatler » Video: Maybe the Best Political Ad of the Season
Quote:
Check out this great video about one of the president’s possible replacements. It wasn’t produced by the potential candidate’s team, since the candidate in question hasn’t even declared yet.

‪IT'S TIME FOR RICK PERRY‬‏ - YouTube

Quote:
This ad was produced by a group called Students4Perry. Perry caused a stir with his prayer rally over the weekend. Here’s all I have to say about that. Given the choice between a president who is a proven failure who casts blame on everyone else, or a man known for praying and getting good things done, I’ll take the latter. In a heartbeat.
This is a pretty good video, especially since it's done by 'students'.
