How smart should the President be?

There are many people that feel The Rock is not smart enough to be president. My contention is he is plenty smart enough. I once heard someone say, we should try to get the smartest person we can to be president.

My reaction is, “Then get Ted Kaczynski.” He was the Unabomber and his IQ is up in the genius level.

I feel, what we need is someone smart enough. Too many smarts and it screws up a person’s thinking. The brilliant people can see too many options. With too many choices, the smart person suffers from indecision. What to do? There are too many choices.

It as also been my experience that really smart people know they are smart and tend to look down their noses at the rest of us poor slubs. I have a prejudice. I am prejudiced against arrogant people. Smart people tend to be arrogant people – like the current Democratic nominee.

His only campaign rhetoric is, he would do was The Rock is doing; only he’d do it smarter. He’d do it better.

Puhleeze!
