No I don't think he is. I think he has a hard time expressing himself but I don't think that equates with being slow.

I don't think he's mentally slow, but I do think he suffers from a wicked case of malapropism.

No not necessarily. Do not be fooled by the images he projects to mainstream media. Listen carefully to the speeches he gave as governor of Texas. He was also a fighter pilot at one time.

- Well then he is a greater actor then Olivier. And all his fighter piloting was done in a bar. The man never saw ANY action.

- So... are you saying he's smart enough to fool the media into projecting him as dumb? Kind of like when Dustin Hoffman played Rain Man?

- Well I'm not sure I'm ready to blame the press for everything: I've watched him talk on TV... I presume they're not putting words directly in his mouth -- and I did hear him use the word "nuke-u-lar" when addressing the U.N. General Assembly. So it sure seems like he's an active participant in the I.Q. smear campaign by the radical left.

- How is it possible with our current media technology to create a life like hologram of Elvis on American Idol, but not catch the President's mistakes? If they really wanted to, they could take excerpts from all his speeches and create flawless press conferences, State of the Union addresses or anything else they wanted. There is a reason for projecting this particular public image. For example, Look what they did with stock footage and computer generation with Marlon Brando's voice for "The Return of Superman".

There is nothing in W's academic career (full of "Gentleman's 'Cs'") or his business/political career prior to being appointed....er, I mean elected....President to indicate that he more than, at best, average intellectually.

My bigger concern about him (from what I've read/heard from several sources) is that he is intellectually incurious. He apparently has little desire to learn new things or reexamine what he believes in the light of new evidence or alternative points of view.

This lack of curiosity could explain some of his disastrous policy blunders (such as assuming that invading Iraq would be a 'cakewalk').

- Yeah. He is set in his ways. And that is dangerous.

No, I don't think that he is mentally slow. Some people aren't great with speaking in public and unfortunately he isn't good at it.

He is below average. It is a shame that in such a great Country like the USA, with thousands of brilliant minds, we have this below average, intellectually and culturally challenged person occupying the higher Office of the land, the Presidency of the United States of America. This is like a bad dream...we will wake up, pick up the pieces and go ahead in a couple of years. This is a great Country we are proud of, but we are not perfect. Electing a bad candidate is part of the imperfection. We are better than that, and we will prove it, we will rise up again.

- I have been asking around about Lazy R. The name sounds a bell, but looks like it is now operating with a different name. If you ever come back here you will see big, big changes. The base is now a community loaded with all kinds of private facilities. The base hospital, where I was born, is being converted into a Hotel and Casino. Where was Lazy R located? If you give me an e-mail address I will love to send you pictures of the area. You may recognize a few locations because I am telling you, the transformation is very impressive, inside the former Base, Road 107 and 110 (leading to Gate 1 and 5) and on PR2 around this area and all over the island.

- Ok, in that case, the answer is yes. Either that or very lazy and so he depends on others who are mentally slow.
  Either way, it appears to be a mentally slow White House.

I don't know if he is actually slow, but he certainly doesn't seem to display much common sense or good judgment.

His IQ is 118, but he is not necessarily slow. He doesn't have very good judgement and sometimes speaks before he thinks. But I do believe that he was only a puppet for Dick Cheney. I actually believe it is Cheney that has been pulling the strings.

Not at all. Something happens to him in press conferences, I don't know if that's strategic or not. It's wacky. But I think he would have to be a very intelligent person to have accomplished everything he has.

No I do not think he is intellectually challenged, verbally challenged maybe,. His skills in self expression are obviously not very good which is probably why he sounds and makes quite idiotic statements quite frequently.

No man that is mentally slow could attain his position however much people disagree with his present policies and seemingly set and non progressive ideas.

Maybe some of his verbal gaffs are down to pre- senile dementia. He would not be the first President in modern history to suffer from this debilitating condition.

No, I do not think that he is mentally slow. He has achieved more than any one of us will ever imagine. Now, on the other hand, he has been making some decisions that I don't necessarily agree with. I firmly agree that our troops definitely need to come home. It is time we stop killing our own troops and let them kill themselves.. Anyway, no I don't think he is mentally slow.

Probably not slow, but I heard once that he is dyslexic, which may cause thought disorganization and a lack of ability to appropriately and verbally express his thoughts. I also do not believe he is open minded in regard to debate over various issues.

His delivery is very much a Texas delivery. People from the south and with southern/Texan/Arkansas drawls are always portrayed as slower than others.

I worked for 4 years to get rid of my southern accent for that very reason.

Not really. Remember, people always exaggerate the negative points. So, if you stop listening to others and figure things out for yourself, you'll see he's not even half as dumb as people say he is.
