Govern wisely? Are you joking? Bush governed wisely enough to get Obama elected in the first place.

I would agree about the native intelligence or whatever. I don't think anyone would dispute that he has that over Bush. I'm just asking is that the final metric to be used? is that all? many of the most horrible tyrants in history have been very intelligent. so I think we can all agree that intelligence alone is not the best tool for comparing presidents.
not a big defender of bush here, but there were many factors at play that got Obama elected. one of the biggest is that as a nation we knew nothing about Obama except the fairytale that was offered up by the media and because Obama disguised his true self.
that mask has slipped badly and people are getting a peek behind the curtain now.
