Among other things, this rookie tells us:
"Besides our president being a below par student himself..."
I guess he didn't know this:
Yale grades portray Kerry as a lackluster student
His 4-year average on par with Bush's
By Michael Kranish, Globe Staff June 7, 2005
WASHINGTON -- During last year's presidential campaign, John F. Kerry was the candidate often portrayed as intellectual and complex, while George W. Bush was the populist who mangled his sentences.
But newly released records show that Bush and Kerry had a virtually identical grade average at Yale University four decades ago.
In 1999, The New Yorker published a transcript indicating that Bush had received a cumulative score of 77 for his first three years at Yale and a roughly similar average under a non-numerical rating system during his senior year.
Kerry authorizes release of his full military and medical records. A7.
Kerry, who graduated two years before Bush, got a cumulative 76 for his four years, according to a transcript that Kerry sent to the Navy when he was applying for officer training school. He received four D's in his freshman year out of 10 courses, but improved his average in later years.
The grade transcript, which Kerry has always declined to release, was included in his Navy record. During the campaign the Globe sought Kerry's naval records, but he refused to waive privacy restrictions for the full file. Late last month, Kerry gave the Navy permission to send the documents to the Globe.

Democrats have always had a problem with reality... and this observation is no different. They've always taken shots at Bush's scholastic performance, while completely ignoring either Al Gore's or Kerry's.
In fact, here's a taste of Gore's sorry school record:
Gore's undergraduate transcript from Harvardis riddled with C's, including a C-minus in introductory economics, a D in one science course, and a C-plus in another. "In his sophomore year at Harvard," the Post reported, "Gore's grades were lower than any semester recorded on Bush's transcript from Yale." Moreover, Gore's graduate school record - consistently glossed over by the press - is
nothing short of shameful. In 1971, Gore enrolled in Vanderbilt Divinity School where, according to Bill Turque, author of "Inventing Al Gore," he received F's in five of the eight classes he took over the course of three semesters. Not surprisingly, Gore did not receive a degree from the divinity school. Nor did Gore graduate from Vanderbilt Law School, where he enrolled for a brief time and received his fair share of C's. (Bush went on to earn an MBA from Harvard).
Yup, sheer genious. Much like the hypocrisy of supporting draft-dodger Bill Clinton while condemning Bush's alleged AWOL service.... these idjits don't care that, in fact, Bush was roughly the same as Kerry and superior to Gore. Sheer hypocrisy.
Opposition is good: hatred is bad. Please, get over it... and soon.
Welcome to the bigs. But here's some advice: you'll have to do much, much better than this.
