I certainly didn't vote for him but I don't think he's a moron. You don't get elected unless you're savvy and cunning on some level. Bush's problem is that he is anti-intellectual. He is the most incurious person and that means he makes decisions without regard for precedence, history, contingency or implication. His decision-making is based on his gut without a full appreciation for the pre-conditions or the consequences.
In my view, that's Bush's real problem.

First, Bush is an aristocrat: born rich, raised rich. He just doesn't care what you or I think; he's used to blurting out whatever he wants and having yes-men tell him it's great. So his actual brainpower is hard to determine because, to him, it just doesn't matter.
Second, he's a sociopath. His every action shows that he just doesn't care about the well-being of anyone not of his little circle. What seems like a stupid mistake to you & me, e.g. lying his way into occupying Iraq, is actually quite rational from the point of view of his self-interest.
Based on his behavior, he is indeed as incurious and anti-intellectual as you suggest; he seems like a moron but that's because he has the drunkard's ability to be charming; thus we attribute his errors to something other than malice.
semoga Tuhan melaknat Dosa2 BUSHuk dan menjadikan Jahannam istana terindah sebagai tepat Kembalinya.
