Is President Bush As Dumb As Some Say?

This topic is an off-shoot of another, where a poster writes:

So is this opinion right? First of all, President Bush does NOT have a law degree, but he did graduate from two of the top universities in the world. So did Bush use intelligence to outmaneuver his opponents? Is he lucky? Is he someone's puppet?

Is President Bush As Dumb As Some Say? History & Civil Business Politics

Just because he graduated from two top universities does not mean he is "smart", he just has some good formal education under his belt. Having said that, he is not "dumb" at all either. He knows exactly what he is doing.

Say Some Dumb Bush President Is

The Left in the United States has typically labeled conservative presidents and politicians as oafs and dummy's, labels which have stuck in the media.

President Reagan was considered slow and dimwitted by the left because of his mannerisms and an optimistic vision for the United States. They think President Goerge W is dumb because he does not have a perfect command of the English Language. I have a belief that the Left in the United States thinks that if a person can speak well he must be intelligent, and if he misuses words at times then he must be Stupid. For me these are not true indicators of intelligence but an indicator that someone is good at Retoric.

The left has labeled the president stupid, but in the same paragraph they will say that he knew about 9/11, is manipulating the world Oil market, Stole both elections, and is responsible for every conspiracy theory around. It would be hard to believe that someone so stupid could be responsible for so much brilliant connivery.

Rather off topic, but... I wish the left would fight arguments on the points of an argument, rather then labeling a person (racist,stupid,sexist,islamophobic, Homophobic, weightist, classist,ageist, rich (as in the rich are soaking the poor), evangelical,misogynist) . Once any of these words are thrown out then a person must defend himself or herself without the other person having to explain why they feel these labels apply. Its like someone asking a question in an interview. How often do you beat your wife? The person doesn't need proof, they just need to throw the label out. I am sure the right does it too.

Presidents are people too and they have their good points and bad, but its the advisers that can make a president look smart or dumb, but sometimes a guy just opens his mouth and says dumb things. We would probably be very surprised at how many times a president said or did dumb things threw out history, so I think Bush is as bright as most presidents. It the advisers who are dumb.
