I'd have to vote for Thomas Jefferson, who realized what was necessary to make America a great country and acted on his belief.. He was also the best educated of the early presidents

Appearing before an audience of Nobel Prize winners being served dinner at the White House as guests, John F. Kennedy said this is the most brilliant gathering of minds at the White House since Thomas Jefferson dined here alone.

Smartest as measured by what?
Interestingly enough, someone did a complete hoax about presidential IQ's. There have been some studies based on differing data to actually calculate them. The further back you go of course, the harder it becomes.
Anyway, here is a link. Again, this is a hoax, Clinton's IQ is not twice Dubya (actually Dubya measures out in the high 120's).

John Kennedy once hosted a White House dinner for Nobel Prize winners and told them that the dinning room hadn 't seen such an assembly of intellectual power since Thomas Jefferson dined there, alone.
It has been said that Jefferson may have been the last man to have known all there was to know at the time he lived.

It COULD be Jefferson, but no one really knows.
President John F. Kennedy welcomed forty-nine Nobel Prize winners to the White House in 1962, saying, "I think this is the most extraordinary collection of talent and of human knowledge that has ever been gathered together at the White House—with the possible exception of when Thomas Jefferson dined alone."

I'd have to go with Thomas Jefferson or Abraham Lincoln. If this question was most enlightened, it would definitely be Jefferson. He did a lot with foreign relations and was an inventor too. Abraham Lincoln on the other hand was a great orator. I love his speeches. And he did free the slaves.

Theodore Roosevelt - Conservative and Conservationist. He invited the first black dinner guest to the White House: the famous Booker T. Washington. He wrote over 35 books on the ecology, and championed the creatin of National Parks.

OK, a few things....
First, you answered the question before anyone else was allowed to. No fun.
Second, because your verb is present-tense, we are FORCED to say that it's George W. Bush... wait, there IS a loophole here.... You didn't say it must be an AMERICAN president. Whew! Then I'll go with Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.

George W. Bush. He was able to fool 300,000,000 (300 million) people the second time as well (with his reelection). It doesn't matter whethere he lied or not. He fooled us. It takes a SMART man to achieve that.
Or may be the word shouldn't be "SMARTEST", it should be the "MOST CUNNING" instead. Oh well!, I withdraw my answer!
