Did you know that dumb people are unable to recognise the difference between a dumb person who pretends to be intelligent, and a person who is actually intelligent?
A dumb person will believe that an intelligent person is someone who knows all the answers. If a person is running for president, he/she is taught to answer each question IMMEDIATELY. If there is more than a second of 'silent thinking time' after a question, then the dumb people will accuse the candidate of stalling or struggling, and therefore must be dumb....or hiding something. Dumb people don't pay much attention to the actual detail of what is being said. Instead, they focus more on the 'style' of the speaker.
This phenomena is well documented. Unfortunately, the people who would be best at running a country, are also the people who are most likely to screw up in front of the cameras.
Most people are dumbish, to downright dumb...and many are borderline retarded. This means that you can't really attack the president for being dumb. You have to blame the people who voted for him.
Democracy is not a perfect system.
This is why most countries, including the USA, do not function as a true democracy.
I am probably in the 'dumbish' category, because I hardly ever listen to politicians....and I am affected by their style or charisma. If Arnold ran for president, I would vote for him. Terminator 2 is the best movie ever made.
