As one of the first people to label Obama’s intelligence as average-at-best but likely slightly sub-average [& I caught he!! for it, too; it’s all in my posting history. Back when the meme was BO the Evil Genius, I took serious blowback for disputing that idea] I have to concur with you on Clinton. He is many destructive, dishonest and dishonorable things, but he never struck me as even slightly stupid. He has real intelligence. He puts it to poor use, but it’s there. I have no idea if the SATs are his/real or not. But he’s a fairly smart guy, I’ll grudgingly give him that.
He is one big PR creation. He’s NOT a “Constituitonal law professor.” He’s not brilliant. He’s not culturally “black.” He’s not culturally “American.” He’s more a rorschach test than anything else.
