The Intellectual Elite

One of my big issues with George Bush is his native stupidity; his lack of natural curiousity; his disdain for fostering his own intellect.

I want a President that's smart. I want one that wants to be smarter. I want a President engaged with the world and deeply desiring an understanding of that world's workings. Being smart is a good thing in a President, but an eager and open mind is best of all.

Obama got his ass endorsed today by 61 Nobel Laureates, the largest number in history.
That's smart.

To quote Jon Stewart, I want someone "embarrassingly superior to me" to be president. I don't care if you can bowl.
