Rick Perry's Official College Transcript - Mostly Cs and Ds, Barely Passed Principles Of Economics

He might have copied Ron Paul in his penchant for bashing Bernanke and the Federal Reserve, but we're confident in our assessment that he doesn't have the slightest idea how economics and markets function.

Congratulations Mr. Perry, you are at the top of the Delta pledge class...

---

Huffington Post

A source in Texas passed The Huffington Post Perry's transcripts from his years at Texas A&M University. The future politician did not distinguish himself much in the classroom. While he later became a student leader, he had to get out of academic probation to do so. He rarely earned anything above a C in his courses -- earning a C in U.S. History, a D in Shakespeare, and a D in the principles of economics. Perry got a C in gym.

Perry also did poorly on classes within his animal science major. In fall semester 1970, he received a D in veterinary anatomy, a F in a second course on organic chemistry and a C in animal breeding. He did get an A in world military systems and “Improv. of Learning” -- his only two As while at A&M.

"A&M wasn't exactly Harvard on the Brazos River," recalled a Perry classmate in an interview with The Huffington Post. "This was not the brightest guy around. We always kind of laughed. He was always kind of a joke."

A spokesperson for the governor recently told the Texas Tribune that the university "helped shape who he is today." The governor’s office did not return a request for comment from The Huffington Post.

LOS ANGELES — A Los Angeles judge has issued an injunction prohibiting several lawyers, direct marketers and call center operators from continuing with an alleged nationwide scheme to dupe desperate homeowners into paying thousands of dollars to join dubious lawsuits against big banks.

Mr. Perry--2 Cs, 2Ds and an F. Congratulations Mr. Perry, you are at the top of the Delta pledge class...

Seriously, how did this guy stay in school? Did A&M have academic probation at all?

C's and D's...it all makes sense now. That's why he can't figure out if he's a democrat or a republican. Personally I think he's a wolf (albeit a stupid wolf) in sheep's clothing. Ignore people's words and watch their actions. That will tell you all you need to know about that person. He recently tries to mimic Ron Paul. One could discern from that, that Rick Perry has no original thoughts on our national economics and that he is trying to sway some of the Ron Paul fans to his side. I've got news for you Rick. Ron Paul fans are the smartest of all voters and we see right through you. For anyone with half an IQ point, it is clear that you are a self righteous, bed wetting, big government liberal trying to pass yourself off as a conservative. We also realize that the last thing our nation needs is another Texas governor in the White House.

I'll bet Perry's grades are superior to Obama's grades--if Obama's grades weren't secret--and assuming Obama even attended the schools where he claims he earned degrees.

I have to ask this question though. Any lady readers I apologize first. But what is whit the penis burger photos with him and Michelle B.?????
Sep 10, 2011 at 11:19 PM | Unregistered CommenterDave
In 1970 he was 20 years old at a university with a far stricter curriculum and standards than most liberal universities, could it be he was graded fair and square rather than on his family connections or a minority status? Horrors, actually called to account, something that the great intellectual Barack Obama has never been proven to have done. I don't recall who said that he didn't have to know some particular skill or knowledge because he could hire someone with that skill. I doubt very much that Perry will surround himself with Chicagoans, czars, and aides with only social/communist visions of economy and governance. How about his experience as the longest sitting governor of Texas, did he spend that political entity larger than many nations, into such debt that several future generations are obligated? Well, guess what, the common street hustler and community organizer Barack Obama did that with one of the largest economies in the world.. (Note to Falesteeni, if a man eating a hot dog or a corn dog arouses you (to suspicion of his sexuality, of course) don't go near a street vendor or restaurant selling hot dogs, it will be too much for your maladjusted psyche - and, for heaven's sake, don't watch a hot dog eating contest.)

Vernon,

Sounds like you would like to be sharing that corn dog with your butt buddy, rick.
Sep 11, 2011 at 3:39 PM | Unregistered CommenterTSA
TSA, how quaint that you share initials with one of the most overweening federal programs ever, one that requires "hands on" screening of American citizens, do you work there? That aside, he was eating a corn dog, only the way out and weird would ascribe sexual innuendo to eating a popular foodstuff. I hope your really weird contention, and that of Falesteeni, doesn't spread, would you and he connote the ever popular eating of hot dogs at baseball games as having some cockeyed sexual overtones. I suppose Italian sausages and German bratwurst figure into your strange analogy, and OMG, what you must think of cigar smokers.
Sep 11, 2011 at 4:41 PM | Unregistered CommenterVernon Clayson
Oh Vernon, you must be a sycophant of Perry's. After all, hasn't he put the Texas budget in the hole? What about the "fire fighters", the education system, the "at or below" minimum wage jobs, cutting taxes for the crony boys, and the beat goes on. Perry is a flimflam man/boy, because as the picture shows, he can suck it up just as well as the other suck-ups running. Are you perhaps the official apologist for Perry?
Sep 11, 2011 at 6:13 PM | Unregistered CommenterNorman
You have politicians mixed up, Norman, Perry is merely the governor of Texas, Obama has screwed up the nation's economy like no one before him. It appears if you want to find work Texas is the place to go, I'm old and retired with long roots here in Nevada but if I were young man looking for work I'd go to Texas. There's few jobs available here in Nevada, we lead the nation in unemployment despite our senior senator, Harry Reid, being the Senate Leader and lapdog for Obama. Speaking of flimflams, you probably don't recall the recent furor about raising the federal debt limit to the highest ever, the issue faded with the attention being paid to 9/11, but that attention gave Harry and his band of thieves and liars the chance to raise it to over 15 trillion with no mention in the major media. It's impossible for me to be an apologist for any politician considering that I reside under the shameful shadow of the dark man, Harry Reid, a flimflam man extraordinaire. With the profligate bunch of thieves and liars in Washington DC, it will take a dozen presidential terms to get out from under the burdens imposed on the nation, that's if anyone in that nest of corrupt SOBs ever decides to to anything about it.

THAT SAID. YOU WERE DOING PRETTY GOOD SUMMING UP THE WORLD'S ISSUES WITH REED AND NV ALL THE WAY TO OBAMA, UNTIL YOU GOT HERE.

Vernon,

APPARENTLY THIS WAS STILL BAKING YOUR NOODLE ALMOST THREE HOURS LATER!?!?

TSA, how quaint that you share initials with one of the most overweening federal programs ever, one that requires "hands on" screening of American citizens, do you work there?

VERNON. I WAS FEELING YOUR PAIN REGARDING THE WHOLE COMPLETE AND CONSOLIDATED SHRINK WRAPED ANSWER TO THE WHO PROBLEM. I SEE YOU WROTE THAT YOUR RETIRED? OKAY. OUT OF RESPECT FOR YOUR SENSITIVITY FOR THE ISSUE AND RESPECT FOR PERRY WHO BULLIED A MAN WHO IS AT RETIREMENT AGE BUT STILL WILLING AND ABLE TO CARE FOR OUR COUNTRY (INCLUDING FUCKING NEVADA, HOME?) AND HAS LOGICAL ANSWERS TO THE PROBLEMS YOUR ADDRESSING IN FULL INTRICATE DETAIL. AND KNOWS SEN. HARRY REED BETTER THAN YOU AND I FOR CERTAIN! TAKE IT WITH A GRAIN MAN! HAVE YOU EVER, EVVVVEEEERRR! VERNON, HAD TO PERSONALLY DEAL WITH SENATOR REED AND OR HIS OFFICE? HOW WELL DO YOU REALLY KNOW HIM? I'M GUESSING TOO. GO FIGURE?

VERNON.........let it go man. chill. Pretty please with a cherrie on top.

MY GUESS IS PERRY IS MAN ENOUGH TO HAVE A LAUGH. OR NOT? REGARDLESS, THE POINT IS IF YOUR GOING TO TAKE THIS ROAD WITH HAVING ALL THE ANSWERS INCLUDING INSULTING YOUNG PEOPLE REGARDING THEIR EDUCATION ETC ETC ETC.

To Vernon,

I apologize. Sincerely. On the internet were in a place where it still lacks the human interaction if you will, between all people in a real room.

I am no bully to anyone. I am no enemy to you. If anything, I would be the guy trying to help you for example if you were in one of the casino's and needed help. That was my job for a long time. I just want you to know that.

Ummm, too bad he didn't attend Harvard or Yale. He would have gotten mostly B's and A's and could then parade as well educated.

ryan, do the homework, look who put the wars on the credit card. Look who was instrumental in getting Glass/Steagall repealed. Look who ran congress during the Bush years. This is not saying "O" is a saint, but put this whole mess into perspective, not what is put out by the spin meisters and P.R. flacks. Perry is just another slick Willy without the education of higher learning establishments. Then of course, there is the media who are paid to shill him too. This is what is meant by dumbing down the education process, so the sheeple wont know or be able to tell the difference.

@Ryan,

I'm not certain on this but I think he attended Harvard hoever he had his records sealed? I remember there was some talk on that teathered with but a bit prior to, his birth Certificate comming into question and so on.

I never really found out for myself about his transcripts and Harvard etc. I'll see what I can find something just out of curiosity. Unless of corse sombody alrady knows. I think it, like his Birth Cert, is just something now that has been produced but is still a ?.

A 'D' in Trig indicates this guy would easily get lost crossing a lake in a rowboat. Al Gore's ONLY science class in college was some water boiling thing called 'natural science', in which he got a 'D' which matches Perry's 'D' in bonehead Econ. The English royals have Al fronting the 'Global Warming' campaign figuring he will go on a murdering rampage if he doesn't get his way, like the English royalty do.

Perry put his paws on Dr. Paul and expressed aggressiveness beyond decorum and any customary behavior. Maybe we should send Perry to England so the newly deposed royals (I can dream.) and Gore can welcome him into their reality show with COINTELPRO doing ONE DECENT thing and setting up a sting to jail the lot. Knuckleheads enjoy holding more concientious people hostage with their ignorance and violent threats and actions.. We could ditch these ones with a week's planning.

Rumors of Strange Bed Fellows in Texas in 2004

A Texas RINO Governor named Rick Perry
Got busted bedding his State Secretary.
His wife couldn’t handle
The thought of a scandal
Like Idaho’s “wide stance” Senator Larry!

Perry likes to pray, and talk about straight Texas Honor
But his wife caught him with Secretary of State Geoff Connor.
His wife felt disgraced
That she’d been displaced
‘Cause Rick spent way more time off her than on her!

Soon after the sordid tale hit he press
The Bilderburgers stepped in to suppress
All these gay Perry rumors
Which are electoral tumors
So they brought in “The Rove” for finesse.

Karl issued an immediate repudiation
And arranged Goeff Connor’s resignation
‘Cause the Bilderburg’s goal
Of a Perry Presidential role
Won’t be blocked by Rick’s back door infatuation.

When Perry prays, he’s only playin’ you for a fool
For he only practices the top half of the Golden Rule.
He now awaits his chance
To “widen out” his stance
And as President, offer to push in America’s stool!
