Is Bush really stupid or is he pretending?

Absolutely! He's ignorant and intellectually lazy, and what's worse is the fact that he doesn't care! In an interview with the BBC, the Welsh singer Charlotte Church talked about her meeting Bush. When she met him during a trip to the US, he asked her where she was from. When she told him that she was from Wales, he asked her what state that was in. She had to actually explain to him that Wales is a small country that's next to England! Bush is also quoted as having said something like, "I don't need anyone to tell me what to think, but I do need someone to tell me where Kosovo is." He's a stupid, gun-crazy, religious fanatic redneck and a walking disaster area. He's the worst thing to happen to the US, if not the whole world.

Bush may not even know. He just does what he is told. Remember, this is a President who did not even know there was internal strife in Iraq, or that the Sunni, S’hia, and Kurds even existed as independent entities, before he invaded. He did this even though his own father had written in his 1998 book ‘A World Transformed’ what a bad idea it was. He invaded even after Colin Powell warned him that “if you break it, then you own it”.\n\nSo, on the one hand, it is because he is uninformed and does not know anything about any of the major issues. Then, there are the problems associated with his learning disability that make him an ineffective speaker if he gets off-message. It was embarrassing when he bailed out of appearing before England’s parliament during one of his visits there because his handlers decided he was not up to the task – something that Tony Blair faces on a regular basis. \n\nNo one in the world takes Bush seriously, other than in matters of his reckless misuse of America’s military. Leaders from North Korea, Iran, and other countries routinely punk Bush to his face. They play him like a chump just because they can and they like to make him look weak and foolish on TV.\n\nWhen he and Hugo Chavez were both at the UN, the Secret Service had to peek around corners to make sure that Bush did not accidentally run into Chavez and have to speak to him. \n\nHow pathetic is it for the President of the United States to be sneaking through the halls like he is in High School and trying to avoid someone that he is afraid to face?

At least twice each week I read the rant of another angry American who declares that Bush is an idiot, but if they're just figuring that out now, they're throwing stones from a glass house. Of course he's an idiot. They needed an idiot. If the man displayed any signs of intelligence, evil actions couldn't be  passed off as "failures" or "bungling." If the president were intelligent and scholarly, people would question why he's completely incompetent, \nbut because he's an obvious buffoon, many people accept that as the reason everything's \ngoing horribly wrong. It's also a lot less distressing to believe that your government is incompetent rather than know that they're evil, and most people will cling to that comfort.\n\n               The real problem is that if people blame Bush's idiocy for our troubles, they probably also think that the solution would be to get him out of office, but if they think we'll be saved by "Hillary in '08," or any other politician, they're even slower than Bush. \n\nRegardless of who's occupying the White House, there has never been an idiot running this country. There's  too much power and money at stake for an idiot to gain control of it. If the president is an idiot,  he's only in the White House because someone else has firm control over him. Someone somewhere has a lot more control over the fate of this nation than our "president" does. \n\n               Of course this reasoning begs the question "if this country isn't being run by an idiot, \nwhy is everything going so horribly wrong?" The answer is that it's going wrong by design. \nThe questioner makes the  assumption that this country is being run by people who are acting in the interest of Americans, but nothing can be further from the truth. Instead of accusing Bush of doing a lousy job, or being a lousy president, please try to think in terms of Bush's "boss" being someone other than the American people, and his "job" as being to grab as \nmuch cash as he can for himself and his friends before driving this country into the ground. If you look at his presidency in that light, you can instantly see that he's doing a marvelous job, and he's the best "president" an enemy nation could ever hope to see in the White House.The fact of the matter is that America as we know it (or knew it) is being systematically destroyed, and the politicians from both political parties are making this possible.\n\n             Freedom and justice are fading memories, the U.S. Constitution is "just a goddamn piece of paper," and the election process has been undermined. The jobs have been shipped overseas, the economy is hopeless, the environment is being raped, the Army is "broken," the infrastructure is crumbling, our borders are being dissolved, and every dollar or gold nugget that was subject to being looted, is already gone. With the entire nation and its population deep in debt, crashing the economy is a simple matter of raising interest rates, which will allow the bankers to once again scoop up all mortgaged property, and force its inhabitants out into the street. Instead of calling it illegal immigration, we should be calling it a foreign invasion, because the consequences of this invasion are as terminal to our freedoms and to our way of life as any act of terrorism ever perpetrated against us! The United States is being invaded - FOREIGN INVADERS.  \n\n             The American people need to understand that the United States is under attack! \nNo, not by Iraq or Iran, but by Mexico! Yes, Martha, you had better believe it. \nThe Mexican government is deliberately and systematically working to destabilize and undermine the very fabric and framework of American society. \n             And President George W. Bush and Senators John McCain and Ted Kennedy (among others) ar

Yes, I think He is stupid. See everything is going awry, he is killing our citizens in Iraq for a personal cause, Osama bin laden is still at large, we live in a country where you need to be very afraid of terrorist everyday, the value of our dollar is going down everyday, China is just by our back, Asians are taking over investments in our dear country, Indians are taking over our IT industry, advance fee fraud from Nigeria and West-African is on the increase and this has not been checked. He is definitely stupid.

Kerry was giving a campaign talk to students for the losing candidate in California, Phil Angelides, when he said that if you paid attention and got good grades you could be a success and, if you didn't, you'd get stuck in Iraq. Everyone took that as a backhanded swipe at the troops indicating that they're stupid.\n\nKerry tried to state that he was making a joke and he flubbed it and people took it the wrong way. So I guess that he figures that people are stupid too. Then he refused to apologise. Then he apologised because people took his joke the wrong way.\n\nPersonally, I think he said what he said and given that he's done nothing but trash mouth the military for years, he meant it just the way he said it.

No.  Bush is inarticulate and out of touch.  The last one was about Social Security reform, and look how well that did.

First, please, please, use the spell checker. Second, Bush may not be the smartest person on Earth but his basic policy on Iraq is correct.\n\nAlso, if you do not like him, how come you are so impressed with Ossama Bin Laden (double standards?)

sorry, he seems to have some brain fuction, but i see where you are getting at. i personally think he is a puppet for other people in the white house.

George Bush must be the smartest president ever.  After all, he duped all these "intelligent" Democrats into saying what they're QUOTED as saying.  He even must be psychic, as he made people say these things even before he was running for Pres.\n\nBut let's not worry about the truth though!!!!

I don't believe anything that moron says. Best way to tell if Bush is lying is if his lips are moving.

"Smart" is such a general word. He's not a literary genius. But if you ask me, you have to have some degree of "smarts" to get in the position he is now in. He didn't gain his presidency by luck. No matter what you think of him, he was "smart" enough to get elected. Whether you think the was by pretending to be someone he isn't or not--he has done something that only 43 other men have done in the last 200 years. \n\nSo has he pretended to be smart? I don't think so. I think he really is smart. Just not in ways people can agree on.

You'd have to be a real idiot to think that President Bush is stupid.  No doubt more courage, heart, AND intelligence than you.

I believe President Bush is not the best public speaker. Maybe you could even say he is bad. I don't think that is a reflection of his intelligence and truely I don't believe anyone could draw that conclusion solely on how he presents himself. I believe everyone here including myself is not in a position to say since none of us know him personally. I can say that he was educated at some of the best schools in the world. Yale University, bachelor's degree, history, Master of Business Administration from Harvard Business School. If I had to guess, I would say he is intelligent.\n\nHistory will be the judge, 50yrs from now everyone who has put down this administration will see for themselves how truely stupid they were at the time.
