If we consider a high-intelligence President who wasn't a schoolteacher (Jefferson) and a schoolteacher President who wasn't exactly an intellectual (LBJ), we can see clearly that problem might be schoolteacher Presidents.Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04720409839023747889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6557458849091969678.post-34039474897456202152013-11-13T14:52:55.617-05:002013-11-13T14:52:55.617-05:00I'm not in danger from Derbyshire's 2 std ...I'm not in danger from Derbyshire's 2 std deviation exclusion, but the 1 dev may get me.

Nor is he 'driven'; note all the vacations and golf outings. Also when he's speaking 'off teleprompter' he tends to stumble and come off as a bit confused.<br />No, the ''brain trust'' is the 'handlers' around him - it's doubtful he's had an original thought in his whole life (and it's generally known that <i>Dreams from my Father</i> was almost entirely ghostwritten).<br />He's about as 'real' as the man or woman reading the 6 o'clock news in a local TV station where almost everything (including the supposedly ad-lib 'banter') is read off the teleprompter - try turning on the 'closed captions' when it's on, it's quite possibly the raw prompter feed) YIHnoreply@blogger.com
