David, RE: "What is it, besides the liberal mantra, that suggests to you Bush is other than intelligent?" There are a lot of things. I've posted a lot of them on the Intc thread a few years ago. I've stopped posting about his errors, because there are so many of them that I've almost become numb over his mistakes. When he first came into office, I had spent some time writing posts on the Intc thread pointing out many of his gross errors that reflect poorly on his intelligence (and I'm not referring to the war in Iraq, this was before that). Do you have access to searching the Intc thread for Bush about 4 to 2 years ago? This would be the quickest way to get a more thorough ansewr to your question - because the posts are real-time comments to his blatant errors. Off the top of my head: - his divisive language isn't a sign of intelligence because it conveys he is not aware of how followers emulate their leaders (for better or worse). A leader needs to be more careful here. Management 101: role modeling. - his inability to factor in new data - his lack of flexibility conveys a mind that makes decisions based upon loyalty to a position rather than to reason and logic - his inability to have an inclusive approach to governing ("I" rather than "we") - his lack of insight into various cultures, especially those he attacks (it's better to be informed about your enemy before starting a war). This is a huge one. He's awfully behind the times here. The world has gone global, but he seems stuck behind. - his lack of discussing decisions with American people - he tells people what he is going to do, rather than engage in open, interactive dialogue. An intelligent person realizes the best decisions are made with people. - his lack of a technology vision. Every president had a vision for technology but Bush. Carter worked on solar energy, Reagan worked on military technology (annoying to us liberals, but at least he understood the importance of technology), and Clinton focused on computers. Meanwhile, Bush is focusing on bras, socks and textiles. He is protecting industries of the 19th century, rather than having a vision for advancement of the industries for the 21st century. - and so on... - check out my post on the Intc thread about 4 to 2 years ago. It's more specific and granular, because I was responding in real-time to a huge blunders he does. I've stopped posting about them because there's just too many errors he makes. Regards, Amy J
