I have never met George W Bush so I can't say how smart he is. But you can look at his SAT scores ( http://www.insidepolitics.org/heard/heard32300.html ) before Yale, and his resume before he went to Harvard Business School. Then ask: Could I have gotten in into Yale with that SAT? Could I have gotten into HBS with that resume?

And what about Obama's SAT scores and other academic history... oh that's right, he's never released them.

I didn't mean this as a political argument for one party or another.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

George W Bush did abuse alcohol for most of his adult life. That can impact you cognitively. Not saying he "drank himself stupid" or anything like that, but It wouldn't surprise me if his drinking accelerated his cognitive decline as he aged.

It's awesome that you have such insight into his private life, it would be even more awesome if you could source this type of defamation.

It's pretty well documented: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_W._Bush_substance_abuse_...
