pumps even more iron and becomes an international film star with a ginormous following then becomes a governator! This is anything but a dumb guy. Ahnie once said in an interview that a "real man" controls his destiny and makes things happen. He kind of did that.

Reagan was as dumb as a post. Success doesn't always equal intelligence. - tinear 10:01:42 03/31/14 (8)
Ferocious drive. Greed. Ambition.
They're enough.
Intelligence isn't necessary in film or political success.

    heard nothing to contradict it, was that Ronnie was an idiot. He could speak the words of others pretty well, however. Look, the guy's only correspondent when he was president was a young school girl. I'm not making that up. The only one. His slathering supporters put the epistles into a collection, purportedly to show how smart Ronnie was. I'll say this, he held his own with an 8-year old. That's assuming, of course, that Nancy didn't orchestrate them. That's better than an even bet.

    ...Reagan is higher than Carter - he was a nuclear engineer.

      understood the consequences. You don't really think we could afford to build Star Wars, do you? Play poker much? :-)
Not to mention... - mkuller 19:38:43 03/30/14 (0)
...he began investing in real estate early on and became a multi-millionaire before his film career got going.
He became Governor of the 5th largest economy in the world.
And he married into the Kennedys.
Ahnold may not make the type of critically acclaimed serious films tin enjoy being condescending about, but he can't say he isn't very smart.
