I'm with you for the most part. From the early days (and I mean circa 530 BC) when the Greeks invented Democracy, they realized that those elected would not be the very brightest in a specialized sense (fastest to speak or count or figure out an engineering problem) but leaders who would encompass qualities shared by the majority of the citizens, generalists who would be seen as being one of the people. And that was fine, given that leaders have the opportunity to hire specialists and get the job done. But when you have the best of the best at your disposal and you're still blaming your predecessor (like O is doing) then you're the wrong person for that position, period.Quote from Scataphagos:

I don't know if she's exceptionally bright, but she strikes me as "bright enough".... and she's "pro-America" on the important issues. Besides, there is more to the job than just being smart. Obama is smart (well, he comes off that way when the teleprompter is within sight), and look at the damage he's causing...
