No, he didn't.


George W. Bush got a Masters degree from Harvard (an MBA).


His undergraduate degree was from Yale.

Harvard isn't much these days IMO. They don't seem to be turning out anything good anymore. My mom made my kids swear that they would never go to Harvard, she's hated it for 2 decades now. Not that my kids came close to qualifying, they were on par with Hogg grade wise, or even applying, but it was always funny to me that she had such a bad issue with them.

My score was 1460 out of 1600 and I struggled at the "good" college I went to because I forced myself through a major I hated and had no aptitude for. As soon as I switched majors (from Business Administration to Econ), my grades shot up.

It's not so much the college (provided it's an accredited legit university) as it is pursuing the right path of study.

Two of my classmates at the University of California campus that is my Alma mater got in with SAT scores in the 900s. Both had high GPAs in high school, one at a mediocre public school in a rather isolated area, and one at a top tier suburban public school. Both are white. Both were athletes in high school, but weren't going to be competing at the collegiate level. One got his degree in mathematics, had a successful career as a software engineer, but decided that wasn't fulfilling enough. He went back to school, got his teaching credential, and has been a fulfilled high school math teacher for decades. The other got his degree in Biology, and then went to medical school and became a Physician....picking up fluency in three additional languages along the way. He knew he wanted to be a Physician by the time he was five years old.

Thanks. I just saw that a minute ago. One should never post before sufficient caffeine has been ingested.

Also one of the penalties of getting old. Don't do it.

Cons just attack anyone who speaks out against their gun proliferation, and will even level disgraceful lies and slander against the victims. "Shut up and get shot without bugging us!" is their slogan.

And yes, you idiots, he was there. His quote about riding there on the bike was completely taken out of context; you can read his full interview statements. He wad there, then rode back later that same day. The lies you spread on right-wing shill sites have already been debunked.

Dems are so starved for a leader they turn to a high school kid for it. How sad.

Don't worry about it, it's ok. Most of us still understood what you were saying.

Not bad for a dumb hick kid, huh...?
He's a stupid little kid who is covering for the horrible job the his dads agency and the other authorities did. Their lack of action was mind boggling.
