Reply #13: I disagree

I think Bush is a lazy-ass with no inclination to improve himself. After all, in his mind, he is the Leader of the Free World and has God's ear, so how can he do better? I do think he is moderately intelligent. He did manage to not embarrass himself when debating Gore in 2000 whereas Gore trounced Kemp & Quayle previously. (I'm sure DU thought Bush embarrassed himself, but in general, most thought he did OK)

Granted, if Bush had not been born with a silver spoon in his mouth, he likely would be some faceless middle manager in a large corporation trying to suck up to his boss and hoping to retire a few years early.
