Hey, man...any time. Hang in.... and Thanx to you, too.
I appreciate it!!!! :2razz:

Well that's just it... Obama owes his political success largely to his charisma (winning the presidency with basically no experience and no record of success other than his academic degrees), whereas Cheney, having very little charisma, made his way in politics by being a very valued member of several administrations - youngest chief of staff in history, secretary of defense, and of course VP, as well as a six-time Congressman, house minority whip, and CEO of a major corporation.I've never met either man, so I can't really comment beyond what can be perceived about public persona. But I think it's fair to say that we wouldn't know much about either one if they hadn't entered the political arena.
Obama or Cheney?

And despite all that, he got stuck in the back seat in AF-1. Not very smart, eh?
The answer is that Dick Cheney is dumb as Dora.

are you smarter than Dick Cheney?

The best way to guess is to compare academic achievements...
Cheney- dropped out of Yale due to bad grades, eventually got a BA and MA at University of Wyoming. Bailed on a PhD dissertation at University of Wisconsin.
Obama- well, maybe we don't need to go further.

so using that, Bush is much smarter than Gore and Kerry
Gore dropped out of divinity studies and law school at Vanderbilt
Kerry went to the fourth best law school in Boston while Bush went to the best Business School in the USA.
that's a stupid measure of intelligence. Obama never would have been accepted into Columbia or Harvard if he had been the same color as Cheney
I think academic attainments are a poor way to measure success. But if you want to play that little game, let's talk about a President whose college records remain shrouded and the paucity of his publications.
judge them by their spouses.
No, your failure to catch my point is what's dumb.
Cheney is the same colour as Cheney, is that why he washed out at Yale? Obama's summa cum laude at Harvard wasn't AA, nor was the presidency of the Harvard Law Review.
It's kind of futile trying to guess at intelligence by decades-old academic achievements but if you know a better way, I'm all ears. I suppose we could just go with the truism that the truest test of another's intelligence is the degree to which he agrees with you.
Oh, I get it! He should have married like Clarence Thomas!!!!
Very tough question. Both are brilliant men. They have spectacularly different sets of moral values, but that is not what the OP asks.
Not success, intelligence. You know a better way to guess?

Moral values? I don't know.
