The West Wing revelled in the concept, feeding the public a literate, erudite President with some pretty solid convictions (even if you didn't like his politics).
(This might be a bit unfair to GWB, who apparently is a lot smarter than he ever appeared (in his way), but has a bad time with public speaking, his writing is apparently a lot more solidly constructed)
Now you seem to have such a President for real, it'll be interesting to watch the reactions.
