Shouldn't our president be more intelligent than the average middle class citizen?

Question

And why isn't he?

hell yeah we voted clinton 2 terms.. and would do it again if we could.. at least clinton didn't make people broke..He imposed aid for oil more than 4 times during his presidency and what is Good ol GW doing? Counting his stacks of dough! His intention for this country is to impose war and get rich..some people cant even afford gas to go to work these days.. whos fault do you really think that is??

Answer 1

Bush isn't even as intelligent as the average chimpanzee. However, he is a functional illiterate, moron, idiot, paranoid schizophrenic and an inspiration to everyone who is mentally challenged. After all, if a person like Bush can be elected president, there should be hope for everyone.

Answer 2

What makes you think that the average middle class citizen is unintelligent?

Frankly, I do not necessarily want a super-smart person in office. I do want a President who recognizes his limitations and seeks out those people who have the knowledge and expertise to advise the President.

While I don't agree with many of the decisions our President has made, one would be hard pressed to find a more intelligent, educated, and diversely experienced administration than the Bush Administration.

Finally, I will conclude with this. The assumption that intelligence has a direct corollary to income levels is preposterous. Jessica Simpson serves as the prime example of someone with very little intelligence who has been tremendously successful and lives in a large income bracket. On the flipside, one of the most intelligent people I have ever met is a university professor, who works for a small liberal arts university and earns an average living wage in California and woudl be considered middle class by all income standards.

Income levels and intelligence have no relational qualities whatsoever.

Answer 3

Here is another ignorant post. The reason why gas is so expensive is:

1. There is insufficient refining capacity. It has been almost 30 years since a refinery was built.
2. There are around 50 different blends of gas in America. These are expensive to have so many.
3. The EPA recently changed the MTBE requirement to Ethanol. There is not sufficient supply of Ethanol.
4. We refuse to drill for oil in our own country. ANWAR, off the coast of most states.

This is a supply and demand issue along with another example of the government regulations stabbing us in the gut.

Since you think Pres. Bush is not that intelligent, then you must think most of this country is stupid because he had more votes than any Democrat in 2 elections. Perhaps you know the man personally?

Answer 4

No. they are not greater clever, yet certainly wealthier. Bush is a classic occasion of not being clever and increasing to skill. He could be excused because of the fact he's a legacy. yet his administration appoints people who're Bush's acquaintances and donors, extremely than those qualified. people who do a bad interest are promoted and the corrupt on no account answer for their crimes. So at present, we've a central authority it quite is a lot much less clever than any in history. very such as a band of petty criminals.

Answer 5

"There is a tragic flaw in our precious Constitution, and I don’t know what can be done to fix it. This is it: Only nut cases want to be president." (Kurt Vonnegut Jr)

"No easy problem ever comes to the President of the United States. If they are easy to solve, somebody else has solved them." (John F. Kennedy)

"Had I been chosen President again, I am certain I could not have lived another year." (John Adams)

"The President is the last person in the world to know what the people really want and think." (James Garfield)

"Being president is like being a jackass in a hailstorm. There's nothing to do but stand there and take it." (Lyndon Johnson)

Answer 6

Beat Al Gore, beat John Kerry.

So if our current President is less intelligent than the average guy, is the best and brightest the Democrat's have to offer at least as smart as rocks???

I could continue but what is the point?

Answer 7

Bush is a very intelligent man .But hes short on common sense.He's letting other things get in his way of being a good president.I believe he has other things on his mind and its not whats right for the UNITED STATES..I believe we need to be saved from him and quick..I understand he's only one person, but he has plenty of help in that big chair he sits in, so much is gone wrong for us since he has been president..He needs to stop and think about what he can do to fix our problems and not how he can go to the next round in this war..I understand we need the soldiers out there for our protection and i stand behind them, but im also worried for their lives.It's so up setting to hear that another soldier died...And i feel this all goes back to bush not having any common since..but its only my oppinion...Oh yeah ashez i would vote for hillary clinton for president, just so bill would be back in office you know she would ask him for advice

Answer 8

he should be more honest then the average, but you nuts voted for Clinton twice, or three or four times.
`````````
Talk about retards...it's Rhodes Scholar, not roads. And he dropped out of the program and didn't even have the integrity to repay.
It's very much preferable to have an honest president stumbling over his words than a liar stumbling over his pants.

Answer 9

He is a smart as Gore the bore. Bush's grades were average, just as the rest of the middle class. So I'm not so sure he is any smarter than the middle class. It seems most of the average citizenry just takes a rock star's or and actor's political view as a guiding force for their own political views.

Answer 10

He has an IQ of 129, and the average persons is 110. So he is.
He has a Bachelors degree from Yale and an MBA from Harvard Business School. What are your credentials?
