The fact that you are apparently are in favor of mediocrity being represented there is truly interesting. I don't know about "straight A's" , but please believe me when I tell you that all previous presidents have distinguished themselves in some intellectual pursuit or problem solving capacity. This president has not done this unless you want to count the two oil companies that daddy setup and funded for him and then junior ran out of business. Twice this happened. "C" students have a harder time learning from there mistakes, possibly?
