I don't understand it either. I disagreed with Kerry on many points, but I never thought he was stupid.\n\nThe guy can fly a jet fighter, how stupid can he be?\n\nAnd how can people believe that he's so stupid but he just happened to maneuver himself into the most powerful position in the world? Life doesn't really work like an Adam Sandler movie.

This has baffled me too.  I have a friend who is crazy about Bush and she explained it this way:  "I love Bush, because he's like a common person in the way he trips over his words and sometimes doesn't make sense.  I don't really trust intellectuals that much."  I hope this isn't the prevailing sentiment in the United States, but it would explain how we ended up with such a person as the visible face of America to the rest of the world.

My bf has a huge poster of all of the dumb things he has said on his wall. Actually, my history teacher in my junior year of high school had a desk calender with a different page for every day, that had a new dumb quote everyday, also. Yeah, Bush makes me laugh. He is pretty dumb, at least, he sure sounds that way!! :)

I'm a right wing leaning newspaper writer - but you are correct: Bush IS an IDIOT.\n\nUnfortunately for the left, the Democratic Party's TOP GUNS make him look like EINSTEIN.

people like to call him a dummy and an idiot. But no one gets to be President of this great nation being one of those.  He is a very intelligent man.  Hes very down to earth when he speaks and doesnt pronouce the word "nuclear" right.  But people try to find fault with the stupidest thigngs.

I hate George W. Bush with all my heart and I truly believe that he has caused irreparable harm to our beautiful country. The fact that he cannot put a sentence together shows that idiotic voters dont care about anything other than their stupid personal agendas. The Ameri-morons also love to hate outsiders, mexicans, and evil doers. They think that we need neither the rest of the workd nor the environment. They are wrong and will never get into heaven. You hear me? NEVER!!!!!! There may be one thing that we shared with the world, the ability to hate, hate, hate, hate...

Oh no , not dumb, but foolish, ignorant, and incapable of making a speech without someone telling him what to say in his earpiece.  Verbaly he can not express himself w/o getting himself in trouble. I think he may may have  some mental problems and IQ problems, because I think some people are writing his speeches for him and always telling him what to think.\n\n  I think he is a crimminal and belongs behind bars . He has apointed more people with criminal past than any president.  Most all people in his government are duel citizens . I think he lso lies too much . Me thinks he may be criminally insane!\n\n BTW, the only reason he owned a baseball team is because of his daddies money, and his family is rich. Second , he was never elected president! It was the courts and Scalia's dicission that put him into the presidentary , not because he was elected. He was never elected, he stole the election through deciet and help from the GOP. Justice Scalia voted that Bush be President because of a numbers debate between Bush and Gorr, and then Kerry, not the people. \n\n He is nothing more than a pResident of the White house against the wishes of the people. His whole cabal is crimminal and if we don't watch very carefully this next election the GOp will steal it also as they did those for Bush.

I find it odd that an Ivy league graduate is constantly labled stupid.  Otherwise he is merely the focal point of everyone's miscontent with things not going the way they think they should.  Bush does not make or enforce law, but it's easier for the mind to comprehend blaming one man (the president) instead of congress (535 people) or the justice department.

Nobody thinks he is stupid!  Who said that! He is just a typical puppet president controlled from the oil companies!

There is a reason that George Bush was elected president in the first place - he is not so dumb as everyone seems to think.  Although he does have his faults, he has not commited an impeachable act, but has unfortunately taken the blame for many political wrongdoings as of late, just by being the president.  What people may not understand is that he is not the only person making decisions for and about this country; he has a large staff that is there advising him, so maybe they should take some blame too??

I don't think he's stupid. He's just not a great speaker. He's not a slick talker or snake oil salesman like Clinton or Kerry. I would say he's highly misinformed on the immigration issue.

I love how the best that most people can come up with is that he is dumb or stupid..............at least if you are going to take a position know why.  I don't agree with everything that George Bush has done.  I hate that he can't admit that we have been in Iraq for way too long or that our budget is in a major state of crisis, however, I think that he has lead this country in a direction that he though was right and that he has lead this country through some of the hardest times that we have ever had.....and if you hate President Bush so much, than maybe you will get passionate about your right to vote.

Look at the responses to your question. Liberals hate bush to the point of stupidity. He can do no good no matter what. Clinton sends troops to Bosnia and they accept that without ANY protest (they are still there even though Clinton promised they would return in one year), our troops are dragged through the streets of Somalia (that's ok because a liberal sent them there). As much as liberals like to think of themselves as open minded and non-judgmental they are neither. If you know a liberal this is a great joke to play. Read the paper in the morning and look for a quote from any liberal (i.e. Hillary, Teddy, Nancy P. etc.) attribute it to Bush and the liberal will spew hatred at the comment and say, "what an idiot", when you correct the source they will get upset and leave. If you do the same to a conservative they will usually say something like, "well that is stupid" and still disagree. Conservatives are better on the ideological which hurts us politically but it's better than being a liberal.

Did you know the smartest people are the ones that act dumb? Take Einstein, he wasn't a great student in school. And if you see how he talks you wouldn't consider him smart. Most genius are mental and not verbal. Not saying Bush is a genius, just saying he is smarter than you think if you consider how he fooled us all into a war. I wanted Bin Laden's head for 9/11 and got all these innocent dead people instead.

Anybody who compares Bush to Hitler is stupid.
