Palin nearly flunked her Economics class in college

[TeamJordan23]

This was the first time Palin had mentioned Wall Street in her stump speech. Mostly, she tends to reprise large portions of her nomination speech from the convention. Palin, herself, may not be the most authoritative spokesperson on such issues. In the past, when she ran for Alaska governor, she freely admitted to a reporter that she got a "D" in macroeconomics in college.

1. Do you get credit for the class with such a low grade?

I wonder if she was ever on academic probation.

2. Unfortunately, yes. In some schools like mine, currently, it's allowed.

In my first uni where I recieved my BA you could only get by with a C+. Any other grade below C+ was a fail.

This is the leader of the free world here. Don't you want you Pres and VP to be the smartest guys in the room? We're electing someone not because they look most like us, but because they can do the most for us. People our allies respect and enemies respect and fear.

Jeez, it's amazing that McC*nt/Failin' would even be viable candidates for supermarket cashier, let alone the highest office in the land and "on deck" for the same. Bush/Cheney, then these two clowns.... what's next? An infant and a kitten? A photo of Reagan and a T-bone steak?
