I've heard quite a few anecdotal stories about how GWB was a lot smarter than he was portrayed to be in the press. There was also a snippet online on youtube somewhere where he was unaware he was being filmed and discussing something very cogently and logically with his adviser. But then again there is also those scenes of awkard silence in documentary's like Michael Moore's. Meh, who knows, the media controls the narrative these days

> scenes of awkard silence What exactly is wrong with the silence? He was talking in front of young children at the time. Maybe he didn't want to scare the kids? Maybe he didn't fully hear what the agent whispered into his ear? The article touches on this: > Ask yourself: if every public statement you made were recorded and all your verbal fumbles were tweeted, how smart would you sound?
