Bush was not a great speaker but he was quite intelligent. Much more so than people give him credit for. He never bragged about his achievements but preferred to allow people to underestimate him.
At a minimum I hope you will test your own assumptions and thinking about our former President. I offer a few questions to help that process.
•Upon what do you base your view of President Bush’s intellect? How much is it shaped by the conventional wisdom about him? How much by verbal miscues highlighted by the press?
•Do you discount your estimate of his intellect because he’s from Texas or because of his accent? Because he’s an athlete and a ranch owner? Because he never advertises that he went to Yale and Harvard?
•This is a hard one, for liberals only. Do you assume that he is unintelligent because he made policy choices with which you disagree? If so, your logic may be backwards. “I disagree with choice X that President Bush made. No intelligent person could conclude X, therefore President Bush is unintelligent.” Might it be possible that an intelligent, thoughtful conservative with different values and priorities than your own might have reached a different conclusion than you? Do you really think your policy views derive only from your intellect?
And finally, if you base your view of President Bush’s intellect on a public image and caricature shaped by late night comedians, op-ed writers, TV pundits, and Twitter, is that a smart thing for you to do?

We really have some questions for you? Do you feel better because you have bored us with your littany of sarcasm? Or, was it a therapeutic effort on your part? Were you trying to impress the Immigration Category individuals...because if that is the case, why don't you post this question in the correct Politics/Government section and play ball with the Big Guys?
The fact is he is still holding the highest office of this nation, like it or not! But what would you know about the respect for that office?
Or.....have you considered running for office and show us how you can do a better job? Better yet, can you speak to your credentials?
And lastly, why don't you tell us how you really feet about the President??!!

I wouldn't call any man regardless of political affiliation dumb when he is able to achieve the the position of the most powerful man in the world. Presidents both current and past have all made decisions that in the eyes of about 50% of the population were either good or bad. But never would I use the word dumb to describe any of our past of present Commanders in Chief.

For those of you who say "well if he was so stupid why did he win another election" lets see number one he never WON the first election it was taken from Gore and we all KnoW this not to mention the end of the belief in the voting system for most people.

Because your opinion is formed from the likes of MTV or Saturday Nite Live. Get a clue and an education then you might realize how lucky you are to have this 'dumb' president during this important point in history.

I am over people saying that the President of the United States is an idiot. I'm also tired of people saying that he is a wuss. He had the guts to run. He also WON! But many of you people just don't understand that. He's the President ad there isn't a darn thing you can do about it. Just try to impeach him. You won't succeed.

If you could use the brains you have to analyze the facts you could know Bush is no dummy. He may have been born rich but once you get at the top of the heap you have to live with your mistakes and take the heat. The 26 million Iraq inhabitants may have security problems but are not longer abused by Saddam and his henchmen.

Drugs and Alcohol and he was drunk 4 years at Yale.
Do you know anyone who can get into Harvard Business school with a C- average in College, except the rich and Powerful! You couldn't. These are Quota's for the Rich!
Did he finish? I don't think he did! But if he did, did he have another 62 average??

reliable question. He grow to be elected because he's charismatic and he made a impressive form of empty provides to get himself elected. what number of human beings can say they are extra effectual off now than earlier he took workplace? regrettably, lots of the individuals who voted for him did so for quite a few causes. a million) They get their information and data from the community information stations who merely serve to be mouth products for the Democrat celebration. data and truth elude those information shops, and except someone does some truth checking, they have a tendency to trust what they hear. 2) Racial motivation - Many elected him for merely racial causes - they had to work out a black guy contained in the White domicile. It did not count number to them how he performed himself, how eco-friendly he grow to be, or who he affiliated himself with (Rev. Wright, bill Ayers, etc.) 3) Hype and shortage of comprehend-how - even as i do not favor to call the electorate dumb, i visit assert that lots of them theory the chant "wish and modify" appeared like some thing reliable. i do not imagine it dawned on them that issues might want to replace for the more severe. i comprehend i wish that they replace now! All we are able to do now's wish that once the electorate visit the polls in 2012, they look into what he promised and what he further and ask themselves in the adventure that they are extra effectual off or worse off on condition that he took workplace. i comprehend I is honestly not vote casting to re-decide on him.

The president is not dumb.
Those who put him in office are retarded.
Those who still support him after all his failures toward the middle class, are either rich, or in need of a mental institution.
