Yes I did, damn my horrible typo and thank you for noticing, if I ever need a secretary I'll be sure to give you a call.

I consider intelligence to be one of several paramount traits in a good leader, but I cannot imagine a good leader without intelligence. I hope that makes it more clear. Yes, many of the candidates are morally bankrupt, naive, incapable of leading people, etc., but I figure that those are harder to establish.

Honestly I'm not so sure. I think being able to understand, and handle people is perhaps more important. Based on pure intelligence there has never been a president smarter than me, but that doesn't mean I think I'd have done a better job than any of them. Its easy to sit here and think how much better they should have been, but its more akin to the guy who thinks the head coach is an idiot. We don't know all the facts, all the issues, all the handling that was done.
Its pretty easy to be arrogant when you are not the one making the decisions.
