Good point about judgment. According to psychologists and psychiatrists, whether you are good at making judgments is something inherent in your nature. The polar opposite of making judgments is having perceptions. A person who is high in the ability to have perceptions is low in the ability to make judgments. Doesn't mean they make bad judgments, just that they hate to make them. Kerry is probably someone who likes to make perceptions but hates to make judgments. Bush is probably someone who takes in information, then makes judgments, and almost never backtracks when confronted with new information. People who are very high in either judging or perceiving have a very hard time comprehending each other.

the president does not need to be smart in ways you envision Right. You can hire brains. Leaders don't need to have the brains themselves; they need to have the willingness to hire people who are smarter than they are. What they need to do is have the ability to judge the opinions they get, to connect with those who work for them, in the case of politicans to connect with the voters, to have a vision, and to have a penchant for acting. Sometimes the smartest people are paralyzed because they see so many aspects of an issue that they can't make up their minds what to do, so they do nothing. Analysis paralysis.
