possibly dyslexic, intellectually challenged President
Hmmmmmmmmm.
I wonder. Isn't a little early to be beating the fella up over his IQ, or ability to think? I haven't truly followed this issue very closely, and don't know wherein the truth is, but, apart from some funny anecdotes, do we really KNOW that GW is "intellectually challenged"? And, of course, that's not even commenting on your ripping the disabled or others on this board who may be dyslexic.
He went to a New England prep school, went to Yale. He apparently succeeded with his own oil company. He apparently is thought to have been a decent or better general manager of a professional baseball team.....which nowadays is something akin to running a multi, multi million dollar business. Oh, and yeah, he's been a successful governor of a very large state.
If someone is able to rise to top of a party, given all of the intellectual challenges and people skills that entails, is it fair to say that they are "intellectually challenged"?
There may be people we disagree with, may even hate, but that's separate from intellectually challenged. A good example that comes to mind is Clinton. I despise his moral compass, or lack thereof, especially as I am a father with a daughter, and his complete lack of integrity. But I think he has incredible people skills, and I think he's quite cunning, and very bright. In 8 years as President, his success as I see it, was in reading the tea leaves correctly, and moving from the left to the middle in 1994; and then stealing the Republican agenda and largely making it his own, and selling it to Congress and the People better than the Republicans did. I despise Clinton, but I think he is pretty bright.
We non-Texans haven't seen what GW can do, or not do. Shouldn't we wait to see before you declare him "intellectually challenged"?
JMO,

PS: this is more your field than mine, so maybe you can educate us. Is there any evidence to support your implication that "dyslexic" people cannot be successful? |
