Well, I didn't mean to imply he would be a genius.

For instance, even though I don't like him, Bill Clinton was both intelligent and a good leader. I think it's fair to say that.

I don't think it's impossible to find in a person. We seem to have resigned ourselves here to an either/or eventuality largely because of one (seemingly) dumb president. Who, like host notes above, I don't believe is as dense as he makes himself appear to be anyway.
