The American electorate is unique in that a large percentage--perhaps a majority--of it is suspicious of well-educated, intelligent people. The Democratic primary campaign is indicative. Better educated people vote Obama. Poorly educated people vote Clinton. In other words, smart people vote Barack, stupid people vote Clinton.
The 'elitist' brouhaha that engulfed the Democratic campaign over Obama's "bitter" observation was seized upon not only by Clinton, but also by pundits across the U.S. The exception was Bill Maher, "Hell, yes I want someone smarter than me as President."
Please explain, why do so many Americans--perhaps a majority--think that having a President (like Bush or Reagan) who has the intellect of a salamander is a good thing? Apart from Dick Cheney, why would anyone want a dumb, uneducated President?

Sdbest, I truly do get tired of your trolling. Practically every thread I have ever seen started by you poses no point or fact for debate, you simply post these titles to grab attention and start mouthing off about how much America sucks when you have no sources or anything to back your claims, I want to have intellectual debate with you but you make consistently difficult.
