Mike,

>>W is a nincompoop, through and through. -mb <<

I'm just trying to be a little contrarian here, but it relates to a prior post of mine.

Personally, I have no problem with having a nincompoop for president as long as he has an overall vision for how to address problems that is sound. I prefer that by far over a brilliant man that is doing all the wrong things because his intellectual framework is flawed.

The former just needs to surround himself with experts that can implement his blurred vision and then motivate them to get the job done.

I don't expect any president to be an expert in all or even most of the areas of his responsibility. It can't be done.

I can't play basketball well and I don't know all the appropriate strategies at critical times, but I can make Pat Riley the Secretary of Defense.

mb, I'm not so sure about Ike's intelligence. But he was a great diplomat. Who else could have had Monty and Patton under his command and gotten the best out of both?
