Eisenhower: dumb

Bush: dumb
GW Bush: dumb

Every republican that comes along is dumb. Except Nixon, he was evil.
But Gore, Kerry, Edwards, Dean, Obama, Reid, Frank, Pelosi are all brilliant.

Churchill, Thatcher and Reagan were never the smartest people in the room. They were smart, and they knew enough to know Socialism is failure, they knew where they wanted to go and they were single minded in pursuit of their goals. Being the smartest person in the room only qualifies one to work FOR a great leader.
