A president who has pushed "intelligent design" and said it should be studied in schools, which Bush did before the white house spokesman back-tracked, has demonstrated enough of his intellect to me.

Personally, I don't think intelligent design should be taught in schools either, but I can tolerate it as long as it doesn't go farther than the teacher saying "there are those who think there's some sort of intelligent force that pushed the universe into motion, but since there's nothing to back that up and it's only still considered due to lack of a plausable explaination, that's all I'm gonna tell you." From what I've read, that's what studying intelligent design amounts to, and should by no means be confused with evangelical creationism, which would really be ass-backwards to teach in schools. Nobody's considering teaching school children that the Earth and the whole universe is 6,000 years old, which is what the media would like people to believe "intelligent design" means. But if Bush supports schools mentioning intelligent design, which doesn't contradict evolution, then that's fine by me. I don't believe in intelligent design, but the majority of Americans do, in one form or another. This subject doesn't really relate to Bush's abilities as a statesman, other than the fact that I'm sure many of the other leaders of the world have some sort of religious belief, and it'd be sad if Bush had to appear religiously neutered just because he's an American.

Funny to see how conspirationists recycle the same suspicions and "arguments" over and over, whether they talk about the 9/11 events, the JFK assassination, the Roswell incident, whatever. Sometimes I wonder if they're aware of their conformism.

Not sure where you get the idea that Clinton hid in the Oval Office. He holds the record among US Presidents for his number of foreign visits and the rate and duration of those visits.

General criticisms aside, how´d you feel about the piece I posted?

I was just making a joke about what Clinton liked to do while left to his own devices in the Oval Office.
