Is the United States the only country that prefers the least intelligent candidate for President?

Question

for the record - I didn't even know who Obama was before the election season started. I liked Biden initially (Im a Clinton Hater)

Answer 1

They also seem to like it when he has grey hair and a clip-on tie.

Answer 2

Yup, I'm sure we're one of the few (if not the only) countries that'll vote for a presidential candidate based on whether he's likeable/a person you'd have a beer or two with. h**l, there have been discussions in the news about how many Americans vote based on the likeable factor. You'd think effectiveness and good policies were more important, but nope.

Answer 3

I tend to think Steven Harper is an ***, but we find comfort here in saying at least he's no Bush.  

Answer 4

is the United States the only country that prefers the least intelligent candidate for President?

You mean you  want Obama also?

Answer 5

Perhaps that is true.

Hey they voted Bush in 2 times. And if it was possible to keep him in for one more term, they'll vote him back in again.

Answer 6

Actually, there are plenty of stupid people all around the world. We have merely institutionalized the stupidity to make it more efficient in making messes that all us taxpayers will have to pay to clean up.

Answer 7

It works out well for the elite since he's only a figurehead. Although it would have helped if they'd groomed and supervised him better. In the coming election political correctness seems to be the most important factor. That and 'change', any change. We'll definitely see some changes, lol. Regardless of who 'wins'.

Bush wasn't selected by the people. It doesn't work that way. Appearances can be deceiving. But that could never be the case HERE, could it?

Answer 8

I wouldn't have voted for him if I was old enough in the last election!

Just saying...

:)

Answer 9

Whoever can tell more convincing lies wins.

Answer 10

We are country full of people selling themselves daily...we are constantly selling something...our pitch, our apperance, our motivated attitudes...they are all part of an effort to be selling something. It could be from products at work, our image in our social circle, our social status within our community and family...

Intelligence has nothing to do with being the next President. Its about who can sell us on them with their image, their sales pitch, their attitude and so on...

Answer 11

Of course....look at some of the answers.

Those who are taking jabs at Obama are McCain supporters and most likely voted for Bush.

They'll vote (once again) for Bush Pt.2 (McCain).

McCain can't even remember what shirt he wore yesterday, but America loves him just as much as they loved that dimwit Bush.

You guys must be proud!
