hes a big idiot!!!

Answer 1

yes, add it up---

c average in college--- " how many people's mothers always said you have to get straight a's in school, u can grow up to be president in this country " --- what a joke that turned out to be!!!

he can't read---just watch any time he gives a speech, someone wrote the speech for him and he still can't figure it out,

he can't speak english correctly, which is his first language so go figure---

he has an arrest record, so someone will say ok he made a mistake, but what idiot doesn't make sure that all his fines were paid BEFORE running for office?

he can't discipline his twin daughters, they run rampant, how is anyone supposed to think he can run the country when he can't even run his own house?

and what was that issue about him not fully serving in the military or the reserves or what was it? the boy scouts? he's supposed to be commander in chief ---but which ever it was he was supposed to serve in he skipped out, he couldn't even finish the job and they changed the dates so it would look like he didn't leave before his time was up, it was on 20/20 cuz they found out and told on him,

he called his grandchildren that are half mexican the little brown ones, our brown bushes, does he think that's funny? i hope they call him stupid azz instead of grandpa...

Answer 2

I'm old enough to remember all the people who said that Reagan was an idiot.

So far only Horowitz admits he was wrong.

They said tax cuts would make inflation worse and wouldn't help the economy. Inflation and unemployment fell, GDP growth was robust and median family income, which had declined dramatically under Carter, increased steadily, even as family size declined, largely due to divorce (the improved income of women is what enabled many of them to get a divorce).

They said price controls were needed on gasoline, and that Reagan's embrace of the classical economics answer, that price ceilings were the cause of the shortages, was simplistic. Reagan lifted the ceilings and six weeks later the gasoline lines disappeared.

They said the military buildup and tougher negotiation stance would distance the US from the USSR and that the Cold War couldn't be won. Reagan by forcing Gorbachev to put his cards on the table created an opportunity to become close to him, and within a few years the Berlin Wall fell and the USSR was dismantled (if you think dealing with the oil-rich Middle East is bad, imagine dealing with an oil-and-gas-rich USSR).

Reagan's tax cuts ushered in a period of growth and increasing economic mobility, at least in absolute terms (it's no easier to get to the 'top' but most of us have much better material living conditions than was the case a generation ago). [Please don't respond with some Krugman clap-trap, his thesis about rich and poor is the Piltdown Man of economics].

At least on the economy, Bush has continued to move in the same direction (which, when you add up the entire record, Clinton also moved in - NAFTA, '97 corporate tax cut, Glass-Steagall....).

It's not clear whether pursuing "democracy" in the Middle East is a good move, though I think history will judge that it is. Whether our active involvement in Iraq was a good idea I don't know. Its cost is pretty obvious - about 80 bps in the 10-year yield.

So, is he "stupid." I guess my answer would be, relative to whom? He's smarter than Krugman and all the other nitwits who argued that tax rate cuts would cause tax revenue to fall (it hasn't). He may have the wrong answer on Iraq, but that's clearly better than NO answer - or two contradictory answers, which is the same as no answer.

So, I'd have to say that relative to the only other choice we have, he's quite smart.

Now, if you would rather elect Steve Forbes or Lawrence Kudlow, I'm with you all the way, but right now that's not the choice.

Now, is half of the GOP stupid for rejecting Darwin? You bet.

But 99.9% of the Democrats reject Schumpeter, which is equally stupid but far more relevant to our daily lives.

Answer 3

Thanks for sharing the link. Having taken a look at it, I disagree that it says it all. At most the video suggests that he doesn't have the intelligence for the job of President, but that's a far cry from being an idiot.

I suppose my viewpoint is that he is more inarticulate than anything. Lots of people have difficulty with extemporaneous oratory, and that seems to be the major cause for his perception of stupidity. I suspect that he's not an intellectual giant, but I can say that of John Kennedy as well.

I suspect that both of their administrations have been managed by a staff of reasonably competent policy-makers. The difference is that Kennedy had at least some decent public-speaking skills and also the benefit of being reasonably handsome. Bush, however, seems to be a less interesting version of Ross Perot when it comes to public presentation.

I say this as someone that disagrees with a large number of policy decisions that his administration has made. It's easy to assign them to a low intellect, but that's the easy way of blasting a politician's views and actions. Rather, I think it more important to challenge the policies themselves rather than the man behind them.

Answer 4

Bush's score on the Air Force Officer Qualifying Test at age 22 suggests that his I.Q. was the mid-120's. He scored 1206 on the SAT also suggesting an IQ in the mid 120's. Kerry scores an IQ of 120, slightly lower than Bush. Gore scores 10 points higher than Bush. Bush is smarter than Kerry but not as smart as Gore. His score being in the mid 120's makes him smarter than 95% of the people. So he probably is smarter than you.
And to those who'd say his daddy bought it for him because he is so influential: Bush senior was not that influential at the time of W's SAT test.

Answer 5

president bush is not a idiot.................
before one can say something like that, they need to look at the man and all the good things he does for our country, he does it well and he respects this country and all of the people in the us and other countries.i know no human is perfect, including myself and one should respect our country and our leader's . being a leader is not the easy thing one might think, a leader has a huge job to do not only in our country but has to deal with all other countries, Mr Bush came into the presidency with many problems to deal with, and then 9 11 happened , which shook our country and many other countries. i believe he handled it very well and continues to handle all of our problems very well.

Answer 6

Not a complete idiot, but very well managed. The people who really run the show put him there, and he seems to be doing their job very well. A select few people are making a lot of money with this presidency. A good president....not in a long shot....probably one of the worst, but his handlers are the best!

Answer 7

if bush is an idiot ,what does that say about the people who voted him in?

Answer 8

Why you thinks so, you have to tell why. Bush are just doing what other peoples want to do, otherwise they has put an end at everything. So Bush go along as long as the people likes.

Answer 9

I agree with the other people, in that all the people that call him out as an idiot, couldn't do half as good of a job as he is doing.
But calling him an idiot won't accomplish anything, if you don't like him as a President, surely you can find other like minded folk and ***** and complain together.

Answer 10

id·i·ot

NOUN:

A foolish or stupid person.

A person of profound mental retardation having a mental age below three years and generally being unable to learn connected speech or guard against common dangers. The term belongs to a classification system no longer in use and is now considered offensive.

uh, yes..........idiot fits nicely

and guys, check some facts before you spout your ignorance all over answers. he was NOT a great student......C average. he was a cheerleader at Yale.....and is the ONLY president to ever hold the office with a criminal record for doing STUPID things.....well, drunk driving would not be considered stupid.....it is much more serious.

don't just stand behind him because you or your mommie voted for him...look at the state the nation.....use your brains......tell me what you know....what YOU think.
