you deliberately misread my post. I never said intellect was not measurable. I ask again "If you think Romney is intellectually superior to Obama then substantiate it with facts" Put up or shut up.

Seano, 10:45 should have been attributed to Briano, no matter, your response would be to ignore the facts.

Intellect is not measurable? so in other words if a brilliant person doesn't agree with your view they lack intellect.

Briano the question was "has Romney got the Intellect to be POTUS" if you think Romney is intellectually superior then substantiate it. Then we can move on and discuss Obama. And remember intellect is not measured in academic scores.

Seano intellect? Was Obama's GPA 3.97? Was Obama accepted to harvard business and law school? Did Obama graduate with Honors from harvard?

Statesman's prime directive - Above all else, do no harm. DO NOT LET ROMNEY ANYWHERE NEAR THE PEACE PROCESS!

One of the hall marks of a good philosopher king or president, (according to Plato in his 'Republic'), was that the ideal candidate was the one seemed who want it the least. Previous republican candidates have not been any more famed for their diplomatic skills than HM EIIR's royal consort - HRH Prince Phillip ('Phil-the-Greek'). Why should Mitt-the-Geek be a better old Anglo-Saxonian. Political establishments in liberal democracies (Ireland - UK - USA) don't tend to require Mensa (ie above average intelligence) candidates who might twig (ie cop onto) what the game plan is. Modern day leaders are glorified ventroloquists dummies of the bankster classes - with all due deference to MitRom! Rem GWB?

So,once again we find the totally out of touch with reality
GOP/Tea Party Romneybots totally ignoring the total embarassment Weird Willard Mittens & Ann Romney made out of
theirselves in the UK and in Isreal,so no small wonder that
the out of touch with reality Republican Party will soon become totally extinct as the dinosaurs.

Did the Taoiseach ASK Romney to appoint a US Envoy for the Peace Process if Romney is elected? Is the Taoiseach unhappy with Obama's level of interest in the peace process? I have not heard that Enda Kenny has complained about Obama's "neglect" of Ireland. What's the other side of the story here? I suspect that Lwaoise has it right, that active US involvement is not needed and would be counter-productive at this point. If a need for US help arises and the parties ask for help, who better than Bill Clinton for Obama to send to help with transition planning? And probably Bill would take on the task with enthusiasm.

irishpjk, to make such an asinine statement as you have made, utterly devoid of substantiation, means that you are either profoundly ignorant or despicably racist. I suspect you're both.

irishpjk???? Um ooh where to start....you do realize Ireland is much more to the left anyway? And the peace process has been accomplished..the best thing America could do now is simply give it time to settle. Neither Romney or Obama will do anything for Ireland at all largely because Irish Americans don't really connect to Ireland or care or know what is going on. I get the impression that they would not really like the Irish hre in Ireland to day and would have little in common with us.The Peace process is done. The most pressing thing is what Germany chooses to do and America can't do anything there. Americans should just choose a candidate best for them and stop the theatrics like trips to poland etc it looks silly...Only a day or so ago this site was proclaiming that the Peace process could never have happened under Romney as his advisors proclaimed him 'ANGLO SAXON ' and he cliamed the white house had Anglo Saxon heritage...i did not think the White House had a race....anyway after that slight i don't think an Irish person would vote for Romney after such an obvious insult to Irish people and all of non Anglo Saxon descent....it is wrong to draw up race lines like that...Obama went out of his way to reach out to different communities at least...neither candidate is great to be honest...but Obama is better and the left is more in touch with Irish political culture past and present.
