There's a difference between being intelligent and being smart. Bush undoubtedly is less intelligent than Jefferson was..........yet is the president of the largest super-power in the world............which is something Jefferson never was.

How does that make Bush smarter?

Thomas Jefferson contributed to overthrowing the largest super power in the world (Britian).

no he just contributed to get independence from the Greatest superpower at that time, Great Britain continued to be a great super power long after the 1783

True. but Jefferson has still done more for this country than bush ever will

probably

One knock on Jefferson: Dressing up in tights while prancing around and singing joyous, patriotic melodies...might not always be the best way to leave your mark on history.

well it seems that it was the best way for TJ anyway, and there were no cameras to record any blunders he might have made so...............

Sure there were....

so much for the red haired TJ

yeah cause colonial fashion was such a force 😄 😉

Speaking of colonial fashion...wasn't it dangerous for guys to be carrying gun powder and their muskets near such flammable clothes? Ever thought about that? I mean living in the wildernes they had to carry all that stuff with them.

just the way it was then

And people say we're living in dangerous times. 😛

we do?

Dont tell me you think Dubya is as intelligent or as learned as Jefferson. I wasnt reffering to Bush's speaking abilities at all. I really dont think a man who got a C average in school is as smart as Jefferson.

I never said he was smarter than Jefferson. I said Bush is not stupid.

And, if we're going to start pinpointing grammar, I would be quick to point out that trying to read the original Constitution is...trying.

When did we start pinpointing grammar?

And anyways, you may be right that the original Constitution has some poor grammar, but I always assumed it was hard to read because of the outdated writing style, not because of poor grammar.

Oh, sorry, I misread the "wasnt reffering to Bush's speaking abilities at all".

I said Bush is not stupid
he has a certain way with words though, words no one ever heard off before.............no one, and it surpises the hell out of his advisors too
