re: #29 Jay C

That is the most important part of being a politician, whether a city council member or a president.

It is not nearly as important that you have a first-class university education, or are off the right side of the IQ bell curve, as it is you are willing to surround yourself with knowledgeable people and willing to listen to their advice.

JFK was certainly no dunce. What makes him stand out was he surrounded himself with people who were extremely good at what they did.
