I've already stated this before, but it should be repeated - no president we've had has ever been an idiot. That word refers to a person who has an unnaturally low IQ. A person has to be intelligent, shrewd, intuitive, and ambitious to become a president in the first place. A man/woman could possibly be corrupt or even evil and still be a president (I do not personally think Bush is either of these) but all of them are smart. Some may have lacked wisdom or chraracter, but none have lacked intelligence.
