Here is Byron York's latest column. I hope Americans have learned the following lessons from the election of Barack Obama:

1. Intelligence is value-neutral. Just as there are good people of low or average intelligence, there are bad people of high intelligence. (Barack Obama is a thug.)
2. Executive experience is essential to being president.
3. There is no necessary connection between articulateness and competence. Some people "talk good" but can't do the job, and some people talk poorly (see John Rawls, who stuttered and stammered) but do the job.
4. Voting for someone because you experience white guilt is not just irrational; it is immoral.
5. Legislators do not make good executives.
