Smart people can be leaders its just that they have to learn to make decisions quickly without wasting time when they analyze the shit out of every situation. People will not follow someone who questions themselves openly and waste time in front of them.

"You two men go that way, the rest of you men come with me!"


Why would an intelligent person want to lead a nation full of idiots? It takes an idiot to lead idiot?.

Well, certsin perks DO come with the job. You get to live in a nice big, white house. The whole world hangs on your every word. no matter how bizarre and outrageous it might be. You get some keen toys thrown in ...Air force One, a cool and fully kitted out helicopter, a fresh briefcase everyday full of new launch codes, Servicemen sworn to secrecy about the fresh tail they bring you, everyday ...

It's interesting that Walter, who decried the Nobel prize as useless when Obama won one, is now presenting it as evidence of intellectual superiority.

Well, no, I take it back. Walter is not interesting. If you want to know what he thinks, just read Breitbart.

Any climate scientists or planetary astronomers on that list?

The more people keep harping about how bad Trump is, the better it makes Trump look. People only obsess on things they are not sure about! :)

Ive seen intelligent leaders in my years.

They are forces to be reckoned with.


Usually quiet and don't say a lot! :)

TB is smart but not that smart. Ron and Toro are probably the only members here that rival my brilliance. I consider TB close only because he comes from a disadvantaged segment of society.
