But Obama offered a "secret" to young women everywhere: "I have been at probably every powerful table that you can think of, I have worked at nonprofits, I have been at foundations, I have worked in corporations, served on corporate boards, I have been at G-summits, I have sat in at the U.N.: They are not that smart."

Pretty open secret.

It should be obvious but so many put faith in the government and think they can throw money and smarts at it to solve anything.

Obama is one to talk.

I'm sure that she was not including herself when making that comment.

Trump might be an extreme example, but world leaders are still only people and not superintelligent gods. An open secret.

And yet some depend on them so greatly.

Most people aren't. Average is 100. Very few are over 120. Most leaders are probably close to 120.

I would argue that in a democracy / republic, you don't want a leader with an IQ much over 120-125. High IQ types cannot relate well to those with a lower IQ.
