George Bush: a visionary American president

Not true. Nixon's IQ is on record as being 143. He would have qualified for MENSA. There were probably several others whose IQ's aren't available.

Depends on the test used, but it does seem likely then.

OMYGOD!!!!! Wilson was the WORST PRESIDENT in this nation as we know it.

He was responsible for creating a learning system where the lower class folks had to learn to add and subtract in chop chop fashion in order to satisfy the elite!!

don't get me started. That man was one of the worst leaders this nation will ever know.

Please re-read the post, I said "overall intelligence".  I made no claims as to his leadership.  His 14 Points were wise, but unrealistic.  The crisis caused by his stroke.  A good debate could be had as to his leadership abilities, which I chose not to address.  As far as I'm aware, Wilson was the only academic ever to become President.

I realize that Nixon was highly intelligent, I didn't know that he was that far.  Thanks for the info.

Ok, point taken, Fatman. Thanks.
That lack of real conversation in tone was not apparent and I knee-jerked that one.

There are many different kinds of intelligence, and most tests do not address al or even most of them.
Wilson's 14 points were based on logic, and largely today, European boundaries are set along ethic lines. But the Europeans whop ran the show wanted to rain it for their own benefit.
