In an American society, the people who decide the course of their lives should be the educated ones. Thats us. A president only need be deeply honest, moral in his dealings, and dedicated to following a simple set of instructions. (the constitution)

The silly idea that a president should be part scientist, or this deep genius (such as what they claim Obama is) is predicated on the horrifyingly bad idea that we should be a centrally planned society. A society that is centrally planned of course needs such a person.

When I took the test above, it wasn't with the idea that our president needs to finish with a high score on such a test. The topics covered in this test were highly scientific, and didn't really involve anything that a president would have to know, or that your every day individual would need to know to function at top performance. I didn't touch on that because I thought this was pretty much a given, and I didn't want to put down the idea it would be interesting to take the test and see how well we would do. It was fun, even if I did miserably on it.

I understand where you are coming from, but I'm not sure you're 100% spot on here.

I doubt you want your Conservative president operating by the latest Republican public opinion poll. He needs to be a Conservative in his core. He needs to be up to speed so he can instinctively know how to react to Leftists, and Leftist efforts. He needs to be up to speed on international matters, and be able to react in minutes if a military threat is detected. He needs to be able to develop and manage a team effectively. He needs to be tried and tested. We need to know that if the S hits the fan, he has at least had some moderate to heavy pressure brought to bare before being president. How did he react to it? I think that's important.

John McCain wasn't this man. George Bush wasn't this man. Bob Dole wasn't this man.

McCain was a Kennedy, Kerry, Feingold, Soros, glad-hander. He wasn't even close to being qualified to be president.

You see, he should have known better than to chum it up with the likes of these people. And some of our brightest stars should have known better than to get too deep with him.

When someone cozies it up with him, they're telling me they don't quite grasp Conservatism in their core. When they advocate for registering illegals so they can stay here and work, it tells me they don't get the brand of Conservatism that most of us have at our core. Look, it's no my fault they don't, but that's not my problem. I observe. I come to conclusions.
