Well, you would think a Rhodes Scholar would know better than to lie, cheat, and steal. Clinton lied to this whole country and made this whole country look stupid. So much for a Rhodes Scholar.
Do me a favor and post your high school report card. And have you ever stood in front of oh say 6.8 million people and delivered a speach? I am willing to bet you would studder.
As for the beloved Al Gore, he just does what Tipper tells him to. Just think, if Gore were elected, we would have cesorship all around us. Cool! Bascally, let me tell you how to think. I do not need anyone telling me that.
Like it or not, Bush is our President. You do not have to like him, but give the office of the Presidentcy some respect. Bush has earned that much.
goodness. why are you making this so personal? but since you asked oh so politely
, my high school gpa was 3.86. my report card consisted of mainly A's and B's. and yes, personally, i believe i WOULD be able to give a speech in front of millions of people especially considering the fact that all i have to do is basically read out loud. AND i know how to say nuclear (which, you know, is a fairly important word when one talks about war).
and i'm not talking about morals, here. i'm talking about intelligence and book smarts. and clinton is clearly superior in that area. as an example of the difference between morals and intelligence, i completely disagree with the bush administration's stance on abortion. i believe that it is immoral to deny women the right to choose. yet i still believe that most of the members of bush's administration are extremely intelligent people. intelligence (iq and grade-wise) and morals are mutually exclusive. did i mention clinton's morals? no. i was comparing clinton's
intelligence to bush's and, like i said, clinton is a much smarter man than bush. we could certainly debate clinton's morals, but when it comes to intelligence, you can't argue the fact that clinton is clearly smarter than bush.
with that said, i agree that intelligence isn't the ONLY aspect we have to consider in what makes a good president, but i still believe clinton was a far greater president, not only for his intelligence and DESPITE his moral shortcomings. but this is a bush thread, so i will stop and go away now.
