Bush has the great (double) misfortune of being:

1. One of our least intelligent Presidents.
2. Following one of the most intelligent Presidents this country has
ever
had.


Bush is clearly more intelligent than Clinton. Now, you'll of course
disagree with that, but if you examine their administrations you find that
Bush has accomplished more in three years than Clinton did in eight.

At least he didn't screw up as much stuff as Clinton did (and yes, he did
lay the ground work for running the 90's boom into the ditch).

I shudder to think what would have happened, post 9/11, if Gore had been in
office.

That said, I'll not vote to re-elect Bush, but I also shudder to think where
we'll end up with Dean, or worse yet, Hillary in office.

So if Dean or Hillary scare you so much, vote for Bush.

Steven - just jumping in on your post because I deleted the other replies
already.

1. I don't think GW is dumb, stupid or inept.
2. I *do* think raw intellect is something you can get a sense of - much
like charisma, warmth and sincerely.

3. Intellect is not the end all in setting up a successful administration.

4. For example: GW doesn't answer questions with a strong command of the
situation (news conferences/interviews/etc). Clinton owned those situations
for the better part of 8 years. This is where 75% of my "Presidential
Intellect" observations come from.

If there are maybe 10 criteria that Bush, and all former Presidents are
scored on - and intellect is one of them, then I sincerely believe Bush
would rank near the bottom (compared to past Presidents) in that one
category - raw intelligence.

Now it comes down to definitions of intellect.

What did Bush do to cause you to conclude he is one of our least intelligent
Presidents? What did Clinton do to cause you to conclude he is one of our
most intelligent Presidents?

Not saying much. The guy allowed himself to be blackmailed by an intern, for
crying out loud.

If intelligence had anything to do with it, they would make ME president!

If you go around beating the Bush, don't complain if you rile the animals.

What you say may be true, but Reagan was smarter than Clinton. In fact, he
probably still is.

Why does everyone seem to think intelligence is particularly
important? The 'smartest' government in UK history was that
of Harold Wilson in the 60's, with 6 Oxbridge stared 1st's in
the cabinet. They proceeded to bugger up everything they
touched (and being socialists, they wanted to touch everything).

Smart people tend to believe they know it all. Give me
superior judgment with a touch of humility any day.

Smart people abhor socialism.

Does anyone else find it ironic that the President's very presence at

2,000 square miles of airspace?

Bush is an IDIOT!

well, that certainly settles the issue.
