I'd be a lot more circumspect about characterizing the American political landscape as being replete with mediocrities if I came from a country whose leader has the most anorexic resume of any leader of any G 7 nation in its over forty year history.  

A leader who managed a BA (WOW!) and a teacher's certificate with marks a closely guarded secret, who dropped out of the two more challenging sciences degree programs he entered, and who in his first  42 years had nothing to show except bouncing around as a bar bouncer and a snow board instructor and a mostly part time, on call high school teacher.

A leader who has said so many shockingly ignorant, arrogant and simply stupid things that an entire  website is devoted to his disturbing utterances.

A leader who even the most senior political columnist at The Toronto Star (Susan Delacourt) acknowledged on Power Play is not very intelligent.

And a leader whose only qualifications are surviving childbirth and keeping the family name.
