No doubt GB is smart enough. He was after all president. But the guy making the statement worked with Bush and appears to support him to some extent. Is Bush smarter than everyone in a room full of Stanford MBA students? Possible but doubtful. These kind absolute statements without support are generally nonsense. I might add... exactly the type of aggressive hostile nonsense that Bush personified. Some people might feel the dumb hick act was real. But most people who think about it probably realize it was staged. The issue is less Bush's intelligence and more his behavior. Being smart is only a small part of being a wise, beneficent and effective leader or doing what is best for one's country. Saddam was probably reasonably smart as far as smart goes. There are no shortage of smart criminals, crooks and tyrants all over the world.
