    Oh look, another plain-speaking “smart” republican that needs interpretation and rationalization to tell us who he really is and what he really means.

    Sure man. Canned speeches vs real time. Not even in the same league as Obama. Dude got the job because of the family name and thought it would be an easy ride until reality hit him right in thr nose. Then he got all fundy and stubborn. Know who else graduated from prestigious schools and is president? Yeah, bet you can guess.

      Nope. Saw him speaking off the cuff before he was a presidential nominee.

      Relatively high SAT score. Score higher on his transcript than John Kerry. IRC scored relatively high on his air force qualifying test too.

      He purposely dumbed down his language and it helped him get elected.

      As opposed to Donald Trump, where at least one professor has said he’s a moron.

      To be clear, I’m not saying Bush was a good president. Quite the opposite. If anything him being relatively intelligent makes him more culpable for what happened.
