"...few were buying his spin."

Too many are... even here on FR!

But, how could his statement possibly make any sense IF he was referring to the president. If he meant the President, what would have been telling those college students:

"If you don't make an effort to be smart you will not do well. You will become President; get us in a war that liberals like Kerry oppose; and then soundly defeat Kerry to be reelected for a 2nd Presidential term."

No way Kerry's statement was intended to be against Bush.

Of course it wasn't meant to be against Bush. I saw the clip.

No way Kerry's statement was intended to be against Bush.

How true. First, Bush's grades were better than Kerry's in college. Second, Bush isn't stuck in Iraq at all. He could bring everyone home tomorrow if he chose to. No, "stuck in Iraq" undoubtedly meant the soldiers who can't just up and leave. This also implied that our soldiers don’t want to do the job.

Pres. Bush himself told college students this:>

"And to the C students -- (applause) -- I say, you, too, can be President of the United States. (Laughter and applause.) A Yale degree is worth a lot, as I often remind Dick Cheney -- (laughter) -- who studied here, but left a little early. So now we know -- if you graduate from Yale, you become President. If you drop out, you get to be Vice President"

So Tommy Flanagan Kerry must have really been talking about Dick Cheney...yeah..that's the ticket.
