Well, GW wasn’t dumb, but he was horribly ill read. I think sometimes that a good classical education is better than raw smarts. Obama appears to have had both. He was the son of a single mother and he went to an OK prep school in Hawaii. Then Columbia. He did well enough there to get into Harvard. He was obviously good enough to excel there. If he hadn’t, he wouldn’t have been the editor of the Harvard Law Review.

He’s an American success story straight out of Central Casting. But unless he gets things moving his way soon, he’s in danger of falling victim to the Peter Principle.
