OnlySmartPresidents.com was created in the hope that the American people would not repeat the mistake of electing an inferior president like George W. Bush. Whether Republican, Democrat or Independent, the American people deserve presidential candidates who are of the highest intellectual caliber. Had people known that presidential candidate GW Bush only achieved a "C" average in university, perhaps they would have chose a president better able to steward the country through the 9/11 crisis. It is my hope that this nonpartisan web site will help the American people understand which presidential candidates are the smartest.
