Is Bush an Idiot?

Bush could join quicksand.

So knowing this and the family money and alumni to Yale...not to leave out the monetary contributions and sitting on the schools corporate board, are you really shocked that George W. Bush was allowed to attend Yale...come on...do you really think his grades and brains got him into an Ivey league school?

Understood.
But getting into an Ivy League school and graduating are two different things. That being said, I am sure some will say that dumbass athletes are able to miss classes and still graduate so that people like Bush could do the same. And that Bush was born into money. And Paris Hilton is a dumbass and she has money too.

My point was that I try not to make personal judgments about others, particularly when I do not know them personally and their ‘stats’ are better then mine. I am willing to make judgments about Bush's job performance (and think it sucks). But I see no value, nor do I put any stock in, people’s half-baked emotional opinions when they have not achieved crap in life at any level yet sit in the bleachers throwing rocks at others. Guys like you (404), TK and Epi all have my respect because they generally do not do this, they might have strong opinions but they refrain from personal attacks, sweeping generalizations, and emotional retorts.

I still think that Bush is a decently smart guy (at least compared to the general public.. maybe he's really stupid compared to say... me) who has a lot of charisma. He just has beliefs that really don't work and are harmful to the US and to the world, and he lets his staff (aka Cheney) control him too much.

One thing I've learned from this thread:

As low as Bush's approval rating has dropped, and continues to drop, people still hate Quicksand more.

?message Dameon Angell:Galleleo <ZH>> If a player is in quicksand, it's a pretty safe bet to base his/her intelligence off of that.

On topic: Around 30% of Americans don't believe in evolution, either. I would guess there's a relationship there.

Dameon isn't a apt example for quicksand members, how long has he been with them? How often does he change squads/avatars? Go with some of the "veteran" members (or Ward lol) of that squad to determine intelligence/maturity level.


EDIT-

It's hard for me to believe the man has charisma when like Ephemeral said, I haven't had a chance to get to know or speak to him personally. He has had a vast majority of resources at his disposal (speech coaches, writers, etc) to help work on and improve his public persona. Where you see "decently smart guy with alot of charisma", I see "decent PR team with a great speech coach".

[kthx]

Yeah Quicksand is so stupid, everyone knows us and everyone hates us, unless they are kissing our ass trying to join our squad or have been on our squad and can realize that the whole point of being the way we are is to laugh at morons who take everything we say so offensively. Of course being so smart you already knew this.

Well basically everyone in politics has a PR team and a speech coach. There are still people who are better than others, even in politics. I have no doubt he's personable. I've read enough articles from journalists who blast his policies but have met Bush in person and said that in person he's a decent enough guy that I believe it. Just that personable isn't the same as 'good leader'.

understandable

doesn't change the fact that soul survivor is, in fact, a fuckin' idiot.

[Liquid Blue]

fyi he already knew that

he knows we know their aim to rebel and people still don't like his squad regardless

i cant say with certainty that bush is unintelligent. i am 100 percent sure, however, that good communication skills might be a good prerequisite for the most important job in the country. is it too much to fucking ask? some jobs you need to have certain skills for, or you wont get hired.. for the president of the usa to be an obviously poor communicator is a complete and total embarrassment. he was never fit for the job, he should have never even made it past the primaries. end of story, regardless of his probably sub-par IQ.

9-11 Is A Lie!

Bush is responsible for 9-11. He & his cronies did it!!!

Only 3 skyscrapers have ever fallen from fire. WTC-1, WTC-2 & WTC-7. One of Bush's brothers (heads a security company) got access to the towers the weekend before 9-11, shutdown the power throughout the complex & installed demolition explosives in both towers & WTC-7.

The guy who owned the WTC complex just bought it for 15 million a couple months prior (July 24th), saw that he'd be losing money on the investment. Tenants were going down & the city had demanded that all the asbestos be removed. This would have been a billion dollar project. Instead, he replaced the building security personnel & got terrorist insurance. After 9-11, he claimed he should be collect double since the towers were hit twice. An accessory & insider to the crime, he walks collecting 7 billion dollars.

There's a ton of evidence... but it's all being kept under wraps. Just go to google or youtube and watch some 911 videos. It's all there.

America has been taken over from the inside, right under everyones noses and nobody's got enough power to meet the tyrants head-on. :fear:
