How smart do you have to be to be president? I would attest that she has above average intelligence. She certainly is a good manager and deal maker as is proven by the work she has accomplished in Alaska. She has a high moral character, and she ‘walks it like she talks it’.

I am certain that she is not as technically as intelligent as Jimmy Carter, a nuclear engineer, but he was a disaster.
consequently I believe she is smarter that Obama, also a disaster. Joe Biden, and Nancy Pelosi are 2 & 3 in line for the presidency, between them they don't have the mental capacity of a flea.
So tell me how smart do you have to be to be a good manager, good delegator, and a good decision maker. All key to being a good president.

Lately, I've been getting this feeling that for one reason or another, many FReepers have a distrust of intelligence. I don't get it.

When I was growing up, everyone wanted their children to be smart, and it was a bragging right if your child was intelligent. Now, I'm getting these visions in my head of people saying things like, "Thank God Johnny isn't one of those smart kids. I just couldn't live with myself if we had intelligent offspring." It's confusing as hell.

Well.  Obama attended Harvard as an affirmative action student.  Algore flunked Divinity School.
