Since you’re so big on “intelligence,” how about all those supposedly smart Donks like Frank, Dodd, Schumer, et. al. who managed to bring on the biggest financial crisis in our nation’s history? Yeah, they were real Super Geniuses, weren’t they?

Certainly the folks on Wall Street and in Fannie Mae / Freddie Mac who were creating derivatives, and credit default swaps, and other risk and debt related securities are really smart. A lot of that stuff requires some very high level math and let’s face it, very few people are capable of doing high level math.

I don’t need a president that’s smarter than me, I need a president who has good judgement (and shares my basic political philosophies). Smart people have created all sorts of impractical and sometimes dangerous ideas. Anyone with above average intelligence is smart enough to be president. A good executive must be able to delegate power effectively and smart enough to understand something when explained by experts.
