Einstein quotations:
* "Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius -- and a lot of courage -- to move in the opposite direction."
* "Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the the universe."
* "Whoever undertakes to set himself up as a judge of Truth and Knowledge is shipwrecked by the laughter of the gods."
* "In order to form an immaculate member of a flock of sheep one must, above all, be a sheep."
* "Weakness of attitude becomes weakness of character."
* "Peace cannot be kept by force. It can only be achieved by understanding."
* "We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them."

Nobody has ever proven to me that Einstein was a gifted political thinker. He was a mathematical and physics genius, granted. But I do not subscribe to the "halo" theory, that intelligence and talent in one area has any bearing on intelligence or talent in unrelated areas.
This should be especially proven by the quote: "Peace cannot be kept by force. It can only be achieved by understanding." Such childlike belief is not supported by anything in human history. The true lesson of history is: Strength secures peace; Weakness invites attack.

Well if those dont make ya shake thinking that this man is President then these may (btw do you remember him waving to Stevie Wonder?)
This notion that the United States is getting ready to attack Iran is simply ridiculous. And having said that, all options are on the table."—Brussels, Belgium, Feb. 22, 2005
"After standing on the stage, after the debates, I made it very plain, we will not have an all-volunteer army. And yet, this week—we will have an all-volunteer army. Let me restate that."—
"If the Iranians were to have a nuclear weapon they could proliferate."—Washington D.C., March 21, 2006

Einstein was a bit more intelligent then anybody that will answer this question, I think he had a grasp of things better then most. These quotes are a direct opposite of the president, but then he is not the brightest of bulb on the tree either.

Some of them are completely inaccurate and the rest could be used to define the entire human race.
What's your point or do you have one? It looks a lot like more mindless bashing instead of constructive suggesting.

I like the one about human stupidity, because it is the most true

Sounds more like an opinion piece than a question.
