Behalf Of Warren Ockrassa

Actually I don't think he could get elected today. Self-educated
originally, but clearly pretty intelligent -- and many, MANY
American
voters are afraid of electing anyone brighter than they are. The
anti-intellectual streak in this country is sickening.

So why did the US elect Bill Clinton, not once, but twice? He's an intellectual - bright, well educated, etc, etc.

But he hid it well :)
