Do YOU think George Bush is dumb?

Question

I have heard many people say George Bush is dumb, so I want to take poll. Please answer the questions:

1. Do you think George Bush is dumb?
2. Did you graduate from Yale, Harvard, or both?

I agree that his family's money got him into both schools, because MOST people getting into those schools are dirt rich.

However, you have to be pretty smart to graduate. And if someone who graduated from Yale STILL thinks Bush is dumb, I will be more likely to agree with them.

He may not be the best speaker, but he is a smart man.

Answer 1

No I don't think he is dumb. I just think that was a popular media spin. You know if you say something enough times people will believe it.
I don't know anyone dumb that has graduated from Yale and Harvard and can also fly an F-102 fighter.
Why there are people that are great speakers but has never done any of the things listed above. Wonder if they consider themselves dumb?

Answer 2

"I agree that his family's money got him into both schools, because MOST people getting into those schools are dirt rich."

That's "Dirt poor". Lemme guess. You didn't go to Yale either?

1) Yes, he's dumb as a bag of hammers.

2) No, I didn't go to an Ivy league school. But you don't need a Harvard education to know that George Bush is a moron.

Money graduated Bush, and that's the only reason he graduated. And even at that... he was a C student. And I'm sure that without the money behind him, he wouldn't have got anywhere close to C.

Answer 3

Actually, George Bush is not a smart man, he made mostly C's through-out his college career, and also had to take a class or two over again, he partied just like any other college student. He said he rather of had a life than sat at home and studied all the time!

Answer 4

That is one of the most well put, simple yet extremely intellegent reasonable question I have EVER seen on this site. I was sitting here bored as he-ll with the childish crap and here now I once again have inspiration. Thank you. No I didn't graduate and sometimes I feel he is dumb. Maybe like you say, he's not that well at "comeing across", with communication skills. Or Maybe he lacks care for how he is percieved; comfortable with his ownself. I noticed how everytime Hillary speaks, she "searches the crowd for someone to show approval, and this, for me shows a great deal of confidence and scares me for the fact others don't see it and what that type of personality could damage discisions made by her. Just look now at how she lacks the backbone to say " yes I voted to go to war and I stand behind that vote." If she were to do that I would not only vote for her I would go as far as to campain for her and I can't stand her. GREAT QUESTION>

Answer 5

No. a million) A dumb individual could no longer graduate from Yale college and Harvard enterprise college. 2) A dumb individual could no longer grow to be a mogul from enterprise ventures. 3) A dumb individual could no longer grow to be Governor of Texas and, then, the chief of the loose international via the way, many of the so-referred to as "Bushisms," are no longer via fact he's dumb, yet how approximately you speaking in front of BILLIONS of folk on a daily basis and spot how worried you get.

Answer 6

No. No. George Bush is an easy target because he is not nimble-witted, and does not have a stage presence that presents well on TV. Every politician has to have that to be successful and popular. The president has drawn analogies which were quite accurate, but were not sound bite material. He is easy to ridicule because he speaks slowly, which many intelligent people do, but which is pointed at as proof that he doesn't know what he is talking about. He has been wrong because of his dependence and trust in people knowing how to do their jobs, but the intelligence data gathered and analyzed on 9/11 was done by people dating back to previous administrations. Osama bin Laden was offered to us in '95, but was dismissed as a threat. History will probably vindicate Bush, but who cares when we can have so much fun making him the butt of our jokes?

Answer 7

Well, let me put it this way: without teleprompters and well-rehearsed speeches that he obviously didn't write, he'd be hard-pressed to put two coherent sentences together. Concerning his Ivy League pedigree, although I'm sure that the large majority of students there come from privileged backgrounds, there are nonetheless some people of more modest means who earn scholarships on merit. And a world leader who takes pride in not reading newspapers is never reassuring in my view. Incidentally, someone forgot to tell you that the vast majority of people opposed to Bush are not hippies. Even the late Gerald Ford, a number of retired generals, and Republican Senator Chuck Hagel have condemned his policies in Iraq.

Answer 8

He's not "dumb" at all! And as for his speaking, many people have issues with public speaking, so I don't fault him for that at all. As a matter-of-fact, he's gotten much, much better at it!

Im a student at UNC Chapel Hill Med. School, and Im pretty damn smart! So Im assuming to be a graduate of Yale, you would have to be up there in intelligence too! You think??

Answer 9

there's a difference between book smarts and common sense. you know that. also, i think he is given a lot of bad advice that he follows without thinking it through. I think he's got a bad case of tunnel vision too. It's true, that I haven't graduated from an Ivy League school, but I've experienced REAL LIFE. Something he's never experienced. You cannot be expected to make rational decisions that affect everyone's lives without having really experienced how most people live. He's looking at America from FAR AWAY and doesn't see the reality of America's situation

Answer 10

A smart person didn't get that way because of running his mouth all the time...smart people are smart because they know how to LISTEN, something that this Nitwit in the White House doesn't do. One doesn't need a degree from Harvard or Yale or anywhere else to know that the Nitwit has made the world a far more dangerous place than when he was annointed.
