Like I said


Just watch him when he has to answer any non-scripted questions. the guy can barely get a coherent sentence out.
To compare public speaking to intelligence tells me more about you then him.


I will admit, however, that his party has surrounded him by some very brilliant people.
Thats something a stupid man would do ?


Unfortunately their brilliance has more to do with playing politics and exploiting the people's fear than it has to do with foreign relations, economics, or anything else that could really benefit our country.
That's a partisan political judgment on your part, and your entitled to it.


As far as helping his party win three national elections is concerned, let's face it Ozarks, Osama Bin Laden had a lot more to do with that than anything Bush has done.
back to denial


I mean come on..do you really think Dubya would be President right now if those Al Qeada fucks hadn't flown those planes into the Twin Towers and the Pentagon.
Maybe yes, maybe no, one things for sure he was intelligent enough to use the opportunities presented, to his advantage to get everything he wanted out of Congress, except SS reform.

He was smart enough to not sit around assuming this political opponents were stupid, he was also smart enough to use his opponents underestimation of him as a weapon against them.
