Hillary is smarter and more dangerous (evil) than Carter. Obama or Edwards are more like Carter, idiots who may mean well but are clueless. Hillary doesn’t mean well.

I think you underestimate Carter and Obama. As far as raw IQ goes, Carter as a 20th century President was probably surpassed only by Wilson. Obama was on Harvard Law Review and, from every report I have heard from classmates of his, one extremely sharp individual (even though he doesn't always show it during the campaign).

Perhaps smart in the sense of IQ isn’t what I mean, but more in the arena of common sense, ability to see the big picture. To rise to that level in politics, one must be pretty sharp, but one can still be naive about how the world works.

I think you way, way overestimate them. Getting high grades from leftists professors doesn't make a person "sharp".

Getting duped by jihadists, the way jimmah was and osamabama most certainly would be, shows congenital stupidity of a deep and incurable kind.

A good, effective, President needs smarts, but he also needs BALLS and COMMON SENSE, traits that POS jimma was, and IS, sorely lacking.
