None of them were quite as famous in their early 20s. Sure, Gore was the son of a Senator, and Bush a Congressman's kid, but famous? Maybe in Tennessee for Gore and Texas for Bush (and probably only Houston).

I hear you, but I seriously wonder about objectivity and grades when
a "student" is famous   -or comes from a family who donates millions.
I mean, if you were a college teacher, would you flunk a kid of Bill Gates ?
 
Only if someone was crazy.

It was about IQ in 2000, until it was released that Gore flunked out of seminary.

It was about IQ in 2004, until it came out that Kerry's grades were worse than Bush's grades at Yale.

Ernie:
for all of his brains  --there isn't question that OHB, is smart--
it is kind of a surprise that there has been so little foreign policy
success so far. Some initiatives may work out OK eventually,
but so far, efforts seem to have gotten nowhere. In politics
perception is half the game, or 3/4ths, and PB hit it
even if,yes, his article isn't strictly objective.
    

I thought the common knowledge was that GWB was a diplomatic disaster
and that with Obama's sophisticated world view and diplomatic finesse
bolstered by his personal charm America's place in the world would
quickly improve. That seemed to be the view of some in this forum. I
mean, the guy is brilliant!

The opposite might prove to be true. I don't think Obama is quite
living in reality (although I am sure he's learning that by now). He's
not up for the job, period. I guess it's not really about IQ after
all.
