I should have added the caveat that, yes it would be a C average at similar caliber schools.
So should a President also know meanings of words, such as the word is? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, June 04, 2002 1:41 PM To: CF-Community Subject: RE: Bush dismisses warning I respectfully disagree, strongly. I have a Master's Degree from the University of California, Berkeley - one of the highest-rated graduate schools in the country, with one of the highest ratios of Nobel laureates. I achieved a 3.5 GPA, both as an undergrad and a grad student. Are you telling me that a "C" average at Yale or Harvard is equivalent to that? Ha. And re: pronunciation of words - it might not matter for the typical person on the street, but for the President of the United States, it would be worth the effort to learn how pronounce important words like that correctly, IMHO. > A C average at Yale as an Undergrad and Harvard for a Masters would > rival an A average just about anywhere else. > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Larry Lyons [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Tuesday, June 04, 2002 1:25 PM > To: CF-Community > Subject: RE: Bush dismisses warning > > Then again a C average in college is pretty indicative. > > In general its not his language, but his bald faced hypocrisy.
