Why Don’t Americans Elect Scientists? (NY Times OpEd)

[FedUp_Queer]

32. Sorry...I'm not that important.

I don't think I could mesmerize anyone with my definition because I'm not that important...and I'm not brilliant so I couldn't speak from personal experience. I just don't think you're that important. The bottom line is this: we need more scientists in government. Not only scientists are smart people. A person's IQ is meaningless. Where a person went to school is meaningless (Bush went to Harvard and Yale). I don't think Obama is "brilliant." Smart, yes, but not brilliant. And fine...I'm a "sore loser." Though, I'm not sure what I've lost. I gave an opinion. You misinterpreted it. End of story. I will say this: when Obama makes some sort of ground-breaking observation about human behavior or the relative nature of time and distance or an equation that cracks the string theory conundrum, then I would think he's brilliant. Until then, I don't think so. But again, what I say doesn't matter. I don't think he is...plain and simple. Since you made the assertion he is, it would normally be up to you to explain your reason for saying so, but I'm not interested.
