Obama’s intellect surpasses Bush’s easily, which could be a reason to be worried
Barack Obama’s election is a milestone in more than his pigmentation. The second most remarkable thing about his election is that American voters have just picked a president who’s an open, out-of-the-closet, practicing intellectual. Maybe, just maybe, the result will be a step away from the anti-intellectualism that has long been a strain in American life. Smart and educated leadership is no panacea, but we’ve seen recently that the converse – a White House that scorns expertise and shrugs at nuance – doesn’t get very far either.
We can’t solve our educational challenges when, as per polls, Americans are approximately as likely to believe in flying saucers as in evolution, and one-fifth of Americans believe the sun orbits the Earth. Almost half of young Americans said in a 2006 poll that it wasn’t necessary to know locations of countries where important news was made. That must be a relief to Sarah Palin, who, according to Fox News, didn’t realise that Africa was a continent rather than a country.
Perhaps John Kennedy was the last president unapologetic about his intellect and about luring the best minds to his Cabinet. More recently, we’ve had some smart and well-educated presidents who scrambled to hide it. Richard Nixon was a self-loathing intellectual, and Bill Clinton camouflaged a fulgent brain behind folksy Arkansas aphorisms about hogs. As for President Bush, he adopted anti-intellectualism as administration policy, repeatedly rejecting expertise (from Middle East experts, climate scientists & reproductive health specialists). Bush is smart in remembering facts and faces, yet I can’t think of anybody I’ve ever interviewed who appeared so uninterested in ideas.
