Google interviews McCain about presidential run from Reuters reports that Google’s CEO, Eric Schmidt interviewed Senator John McCain in front of “several hundred employees.”

In this interview, McCain admit that he was not the best student, saying “my GPA earned me 5th from the bottom of my class.” McCain also says he isn’t the brightest, “everyone in this room is probably smarter than I am.” I have found the video uploaded on May 4th at YouTube, I have embedded it below.
