    The most educated US President may have been Woodrow Wilson. Wilson is the only President to have a Ph.D. He was a renowned political scientist and was President of Princeton University prior to entering politics. Andrew Jackson may have been one of the least educated Presidents ever. Of course, being the most educated does not mean you're the "smartest," and being the least educated does not mean you're the "dumbest." After all, as Andrew Jackson supposedly once said, "T'aint a very smart man can think of only one way to spell a word." ;-)

    In terms of raw IQ, the "smartest" President was probably John F. Kennedy.

    The "dumbest"? Well...like Forrest Gump said, "Stupid is as stupid does."

    i am going to admit i have not been following the applicants too a lot with the aid of nonsense that they both sling round of their classified ads and marketing campaign stops. i love Obama because I see a very in a position and likeable value ticket on his aspect. On McCain's aspect I basically see one somewhat in a position human being and he's amazingly old (no offense to any of our seniors accessible) so he's out of contact. and then there is Palin, she's too eco-friendly and desires more desirable time in politics previously i'm comfortable with her being a vp. Obama has some rules in recommendations that i love at the same time as McCain appears persevering with and attempting to develop what we've suffered for the previous 8 years. I merely want a diverse candidate. And as you could tell i'm Black so as I Black human being i'd favor to ascertain someone with some brown of their epidermis ideal this united states of america. i favor to ascertain him win merely to develop the spirits of my human beings. we were right here in this portion of the international for some 500+ years. We helped construct the south and we make contributions a lot yet typically move unrecognized. i'm no longer putting forward i'm vote casting for him merely because of his race because if he were a foul candidate in my eyes he does no longer also be a concept for me (see Rev. AL Sharpton and Rev. Jesse Jackson) yet he appears the more desirable suited qualified human being for the job and he's 0.5 black. that could be an somewhat vast element for the heritage of Black human beings in this united states of america and the international. it is why i'm vote casting for Obama.
