lifetime, and not many Presidents are stupid, by I was really talking about Obama and Kennedy as intellectuals. That's a certain kind of intelligence we don't see in the White House very often.

Obama should be on the SCOTUS one day. I think he would be happier and possibly more effective there. Wouldn't it be great if he succeeded Thomas?
