"Not really if you consider how much he missed in other subjects because of it. The man is the voice, not the mind. I've tried to explain science to the man, and I wouldn't say he would be able to talk shop. He understands enough to know that what I'm doing will keep the balance of power in the US's favor, but not enough so that he can explain it to the public. He sacrificed other areas for that history, and it can show. Damn good politician though, have to give him that. The man is smart enough to run this country like the best of them." Richard explained.
"To put it in simpler terms, think of him as an actual historian. Basic knowledge of much, but truly a genius in the one area upon which he truly focused. It just so happens he focused on United States history, if he had been English or German, he would know as much about that country as he does about this one. It all depended on where he was born. He may be a headache most of the time, but I must say I'm glad he was born here."
