Probably you also consider him to be a very bright man.

Yes, I do. However, I don't think he is as smart as Clinton was. Intellect, of course, is not the key criterion for the job (as we learned during the Clinton years).

I have an exceptionally high IQ. However, I've not become wealthy. Other people whom I know having much lower IQs than mine have made fortunes by being better at what they do. In fact, a lot of very smart people have difficulty in focusing because boredom sets in too easily. The result is they are "Jacks of All Trades, and Masters of None".

The suggestion that the smartest guy ought to be president is naive. Reasonable intellect is required, but more important is the ability to delegate to smart people, and general integrity.
