Yup. He was stupid, but knew when to listen to others. He cared about the country even though he fucked up along the way, and openly chose to listen to people he at least assumed were smarter and knew more than him.

President Camacho might have been an idiot, but he knew how to allocate ideas, and knew what he didn't know when smarter people came around.
