Hillary Clinton "...I never did well at math."
Edited on Mon Mar-10-08 07:33 PM by yourguide
Tuesday, January 29, 2008; 1 week prior to super tuesday, AP did a "Get to know the candidates segment" and this was Hillary's response on the question "What were your best & worst subjects in school?"


Hillary Clinton: "I always loved history and got good grades, but I never did well at math."

4. You would think that she might get a clue from history, considering historically....
...the person losing in the primaries is usually not at the top of the ticket.

14. She may claim she did well at history
But, for all her talk about how words and speeches don't mean anything and it's only actions that matter, she apparently never studied British history around the summer and fall of 1940 and that Winston Something guy.
