Is there a president you can think of that wasn't a genius?
Being president requires you to manage so many different things; it couldn't be done by someone who wasn't smart.
- EGreg 11y agoI have heard from a couple friends that George W Bush was smart, just bad in front of a camera. To be honest, though, my own radar from seeing him all those times - from heuristics and deduction - said he was actually not very intelligent in many areas that other presidents were intelligent in. I think his social intelligence was much higher than Gore's and Kerry's, though.
