Which candidate was ranked 894 out of 899 students in college?

U.S. Senator Barack Obama or U.S. Senator John McCain

Answer: U.S. Senator John McCain

McCain entered the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis. McCain had conflicts with his higher-ups, and he was disinclined to obey every rule, which contributed to a low class rank (894 of 899) that he did not aim to improve. McCain did well in academic subjects that interested him, such as literature and history, but studied only enough to pass subjects he disliked, such as math. McCain graduated in 1958.

There is also information that McCain lost five planes as a fighter pilot over Vietnam which some people regarded as carelessness.


"Will McCain, who finished 894th out of 899 at the Naval Academy and who lost five jets return competence to the White House?"


Probably not, many people feel U.S. Senator John McCain is just another U.S. President George W. Bush.

Furthermore, U.S. President George W. Bush was also a poor student when he attended Yale University and by many, a long time associate, of U.S. Senator John McCain.

The title of this piece came to my attention and I was interested to also know the answer, so I furthered my inquiry and the above article was the result.
