" They were all "intellectuals". There is nothing wrong with that, but" You know that "but" is the universal disqualifier, right? I'm tired of the war against intellectuals. If Joe Six Pack doesn't like intellectuals, then he can only blame himself for the leadership he's gotten. After all, THAT sort of thinking got us Mr. Bush. You seem to be saying we should pander to it. Maybe instead we should try to educate Joe Six Pack and show him that there is a link between anti-intellectualism and the election of very bad stewards.

Did you see Obama drinking Beer from what look like a champaign glass. He couldn't even make it look like he could occasionally like to drink a glass of beer. 37, 37, I mean this guy is a good athlete. He is a good basketball player. He couldn't even pretend to enjoy the experience of bowling even like someone doing research for an anthropology study. Ach!!! Of course people we elect to be president should be good bowlers and drink beer with gusto, I don't know why I didn't see it before. You have just shown me the light Mary. Thank you.
