I don't know why people CONTINUE to think there is a correlation between forensic skill and intelligence after 6 years of Bush. Competence != intelligence. Besides being a qualified student there are other ways to get into prestigious schools and come out with degrees. It was Yale though. You can judge intelligence from speaking skill. Some bad speaking due to trivial errors, does not necessarily matter. Like speaking with proper sentences, good pronunciation, etc. Most people accept these things from Bush and it personally isn't my biggest complaint with his speaking. I have problems with the fallacious arguments he makes. I'd expect someone who "well above average intelligence" to be able to explain their beliefs when facing difficult questions. | ||

No, Bush's MBA is from Harvard. | ||

It is probably the best opportunity to finally get a woman or black man. If not now, then it probably won't happen in a very, very, very long time. Anyway, who would you prefer? John Edwards? He didn't impress people in 04, iirc. And him running might be a repeat of the 04 platform, a democrat running on the basis of not being republican. | ||

I know YOU would expect that, but that's because you STILL think there is a correlation between intelligence and speaking prowess. Many incredibly smart people are just not good at communicating their ideas to the average Joe, or at communicating on the spot. Language skill is controlled by a portion of the brain that has little effect on other areas of intelligence. You can stick to your opinion, but science will tell you you are wrong. I'm leaving until the superfight. Carry on your flamewar without me. | ||

Excal, I hope you contribute to this thread and confirm my dislike with some dirt you have on her" Excalibur_Z? When he talks about e-Sports and gaming, I listen! When he talks to about politics, I skip : ) This way I can still see him as a shining tl.net light! | ||

I've seen quotes by him before he ran for senate indicating that he was very pro-drug, and not just marijuana. He said he thought drugs were a good escape for inner-city youth, and stuff like that. Chances are you are either blowing something he said out of proportion or making stuff up. So, that either makes you an idiot or liar... you pick. I don't believe that a public figure can be elected to offices such as the mayor of Chicago and the United States Senate if he walked around saying its okay for kids to shoot up. Citation please, I want to see his exact words in its complete and original context. | ||

"Language is controlled by a portion of the brain that ..." OK, thanks. Are you really qualified to say? Anyway, I'm primarily judging speaking by the content of their message rather than the delivery. Bush usually has poor content and faulty reasoning | ||

She is a very good politician, IE good at telling people what they want to hear regardless of its veracity. this is assuming teh interest groups/think tanks for obama/hilary are the same. keep in mind that i'm as far from a democrat (or republican) as one can be. | ||

A presidential candidate who cannot remember the name of Pakistan's head of state, thinks Greeks are Grecians, Nigeria is an important continent, and that the Internet is plural is a certified dumbass. I am certain also that his MBA and his C in Yale has jackshit to do with his actual ability. | ||

the republicans do a much better job of making their candidates look good and democrats look bad, and fooling the average american (which is not hard, b/c, let's face it, electing bush twice in a row takes at least some measure of idiocy) but actually none of this matters, what the u.s. needs is a proportional representation system | ||
