Nothing reckless about it. Obama was president of the Harvard Law Review. McCain was at the bottom of his service academy class. That right there is pretty good evidence of their respective abilities to know and understand stuff. Obama is smarter than McCain–probably a lot smarter. I think he’s smarter than Clinton, too, but not by as much.



Hunt I suggest you look a little more deeply into this. I’m not going to suggest one man is smarter than the other based on class standing but coming from somebody who has attended a military academy I can tell you they grade much differently.

First, the average grade is a C. There is no grade inflation like at many other universities. I can guarantee you the courseload at an academy is much more intense than at Harvard law. Additionally the rank you receive isn’t all academics. 1/3 academics + 1/3 fitness + 1/3 leadership (demerits fall within this) = your class rank. It’s just as important to understand how the facts “work.”

Also, Carter finished in the top 5 of his graduating class and look how he turned out. Lincoln never attended college.
