I think the US is the only contry that has actually developped a cult of stupidity.

Here's an excellent NYT article that imo sums it up very well: Know-Nothing Politics
Cliffnotes: Intelligence is for girls and gays. Real men don't think.

In any other contry, Obama would be elected because he's obviously the most intelligent candidate. If he actually wins the election in the US, then only because the situation has turned so desperate that voters will forgive him his intelligence.

I'm European, but I'm not saying this in order to bash Americans. If US-voters continue electing the greatest idiot they can find, things will continue getting more and more ugly not only for America, but for everybody in the world.
