If they think he is intelligent then those who think so MUST be less intelligent than Bush...right?
Want to see just how smart our leader is? Do a video search with these two key words: bush sovereign
Doe you think that Bush knows he is not nearly as educated/intelligent as any one else in the white house? It must be very stressful knowing he is an idiot, or maybe he is blissfully ignorant.

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?

I know education is probably one of the most important things in life but you could have Stephen hawking in there but would he have the other qualities of being a leader? George Bush may not be the smartest around the White House but he is one of the most deciding presidents we have ever had and you can't doubt that he sticks by his word and decisions no matter what. The History Channel described him as 'lacking curiosity for the facts' but still one of, if not the, most decisive president yet. So yes education is very important which our President lacks but there are other qualities which he is very strong in.

Nice use of the word "reppugnicans" that shows you must be way more mature and intelligent than Bush...
Wait...Bush is the one in the White House isn't he? Proves he must have some intelligence at least, even if you don't think so.

Just because he is not the best speaker doesn't mean that he is an idiot and every president we have there are going to be people who disagree with him so does that mean that every president is an idiot??? If the smartest person in the world was the president then there would stilll be people who disagree with him or else just don't like him so they call him an idiot as an exuse

I'm no Bush fan, but intelligence is not necessarily a qualification for survival. As far as we know, dinosaurs had pretty tiny brains, yet they survived for 60 million years, maybe they'd still be around if a comet impact hadn't wiped them all out. If not for that, maybe we'd be Tyrannosaurus food, assuming we'd have evolved at all. Maybe the country needs a self-styled sh*t kicker at this time. I disagree that we do, but what do I know.

I think he is intelligent-look at his credentials, just because he is a Texan with slurred speech and always messes up even while reading a piece of paper does not make him unintelligent.

First off, real mature calling them "repugnicans"
Second of all, no, he hasn't shown anything to make me think that he is smart.

lol you know you spelled it "Repugnicans". Your non-use of commas. You said "Doe"
In conclusion you're just as f*cking dumb as he is. So provide the world with some closure and kill yourself and hopefully he'll follow.
