Contrary to the myths out there, President Bush has an IQ considerably higher than John Kerry. Although Kerry lied about release of his military records (there are still 100 pages unreleased, according to the Navy), he goofed and put up one that had his Officer Candidate scores on it. Oops. When asked about it, he said those weren't released (contrary to his earlier assertion that he HAD released his records), but then NBC edited the interview in its rebroadcast to cover up his lie (the earlier MSNBC transcript still contains it, though).
So it seems that not only was Kerry stupider, he's also demonstrably a liar. So perhaps you should reassess your feelings, and accept that we have the smarter, more honest candidate in the office now.
Frankly, I'm glad he's willing to take action, unlike his predecessors, who blocked airline safety (Gore's blockage yielded a nice fat $500,000+ bonus to his campaign from the airlines!) and refused to address the terrorism in more than a piecemeal fashion. Finally, we have a president who will look more globally at the problem, not allow havens for miscreants while making limited strikes.
