How many here think Bush is smart?

"I heard somebody say, 'Where's (Nelson) Mandela?' Well, Mandela's dead. Because Saddam killed all the Mandelas." --George W. Bush, on the former South African president, who is still very much alive, Washington, D.C., Sept. 20, 2007

"Mr. Prime Minister, thank you for your introduction. Thank you for being such a fine host for the OPEC summit." --George W. Bush, addressing Australian Prime Minister John Howard at the APEC Summit, Sept. 7, 207

"As John Howard accurately noted when he went to thank the Austrian troops there last year..." --George W. Bush, referring to Australian troops as "Austrian troops," APEC Business Summit, Sept. 7, 2007


We should all be so proud.

band geek - unfortunately it's not just a few mistakes. Why don't you compare Bush to the other Presidents? Besides, your standards for president are obviously low if you find the above mistakes acceptable.

Didn't he beat Gore,and Kerry.Also I also think he's a better man than most of Congress.When they called him filthy names he just shrugged them off.They were the ones cowering because they had to apologize.
Who also has the lower approval rating?
Did Murtha speak so eloquently when he was slandering our troops?
How bout useing low tactics like Bush=Hitler.That's pretty low that's from Reid own speech.Boy, that was smart that's very intelligent.
Have a blessed day,I'll be praying for you.

So what's like to lose points! Report It

compared to what? a rock? maybe... well no i think the rock is still smarter

a bush is smarter than g. bush.

George Bush is a brilliant man and a wise leader. John McCain will offer us 4 more years of the same!

Do you mean Reggie Bush? He's the smartest Bush I've heard of.

Being totally honest, he's is probably smarter than most people.

Probably not smarter than most presidents.

--update--
For example: Bush might have messed up the name of the summit he attended in Austrailia, but most people couldn't tell you who John Howard was if their life depended on it. And besides, who here has never messed up an acronym. And I guarantee he knows what OPEC and APEC are. You'd go a long time looking for an average american who knows what either stands for, let alone both.

like you've never said anything stupid.

seriously, he's smarter than you. and me. even if he has made some bad decisions. but you're in no place to judge.

What is the point of all of this? There are so many important issues that you should be spending your time on.

He is above avg...

Bush is the most incredibly self centered ,egotistical maniac every to speak in public . He is so wrapped up in himself that he has no time to make himself aware of the world around him .

He is not as stupid as this
"If a President of the United States ever lied to the American people he should resign." - Bill Clinton running for US Representative in 1974

yes i think he is a genius
"I don't particularly like it when people put words in my mouth, either, by the way, unless I say it." --George W. Bush

Bush is a smart man but speaks like a country boy, and anyone that believes he's not smart is a dumbass.

awasis, I owe you an apology, I'm sorry you're a dumbass so please forgive me.

He's a genius. Come on the dude went to Yale. Sure he didn't graduate with good grades and paid his way in, but he graduated right? How dumb can he be? Corporate officials are making record profits because of him. And only HE calls the people of Greece, Greecians.

Being maladroit at the podium is not indicative of one's intelligence, either way.

I've met a lot of very intelligent people who you'd think were idiots by their speaking skills.

And I've met complete idiots who could talk a good game.

Maybe you need to get over it.

Sure do, the man received better grades at Yale than John "the horse face" Kerry. And Al "the world is melting" Gore flunked out of.

A C Average is still higher than what nokia_navyseal has, so I guess he is smarter then the average lib

The standard socialist tactic when a new republican is elected is name calling, over and over and over. Liberals believe what other liberals say, regardless what they say, so after a year of the name calling, liberals believe it sticks.

Name calling is what socialists do because all they have to offer is socialism, nothing else. Nobody will ever buy into socialism if its presented honestly so they use class envy, manipulate & exploit poor people & minorities and smear anyone who opposes them, just like this lemming who asked this question.

i wouldn't say he is dumb either. i do not know him to come up with a fair judgement

Bush is the smartest war mongering neo con ever produced by AMERICA!!! with all that man has done he must be smart in his special neo con way...I like Bush I respect him,,,from his points of views he has done like no one else could ever do...ya he is smart.f.p

I KNOW bush is NOT "smart". Even after two daughters he doesn't know what an OB / GYN does...and even with all of his wealth and influence the best his daddy could buy him was a 'C' average.
