Question

How is it that some people perceive George W. Bush as appearing to be not very intelligent?

Answer 1

Perhaps it's to lure people into a false sense of security. . Either that or the people pulling his strings can't get his mouth to work as fast as their brains...

Answer 2

so you think he just "dumbed" his way all the way to the Whitehouse? I don't think that's possible. We can all find something "dumb" about anybody if we are looking for it just because of distaste for them as a person.

Answer 3

He's not dumb, just terribly misguided.

Answer 4

This is obviously a question posted by someone who has an opinion, but no real means of supplying an answer to a problem.. . Welcome to a nation that allows you that priviledge.. . (Anyone else notice the irony of someone posting a question like this without using capital letters?)

Answer 5

matter of opinon some people don't think he is. come on he has done some stupid stuff but we haven't had 1 terrosist attack on US soil scene then and at least he doesn't go around getting b*** jobs from his intern! *cough cough clinton*

Answer 6

Bush's SAT score of 1206 (old system) puts his IQ at 131. He is about as intelligent as a typical physician or lawyer, and is more intelligent than 98% of the general population.

Answer 7

The frequency and nature of his verbal mistakes suggest some kind of cognitive problem. Perhaps he has brain lesions from the aspartame in diet sodas.
