Is Obama as right as he seems? New evidence reveals his college class got lower SAT scores than Dubya
Average SAT score of Obama's 1981 transfer group to Columbia was 1,100
Bush got into Yale with score of 1,206 out of 1,600
Obama refuses to release his academic record
Barack Obama may have got worse high school grades than George W Bush after new evidence showed the current president was among a college class with poor average SAT scores.
Doubts about the supposedly superior intellect of Mr Obama were first raised after he refused to release his academic record.
He has also made some factual errors during his time in the job – although he is still a very long way behind his gaff-prone predecessor.
But now it has emerged that Mr Obama was among a 1981 intake of transfers to New York’s Columbia University that was at the time branded one of the worst ever.
The president, who moved from Occidental Community College in Los Angeles, was among 67 students whose average combined math and verbal score on the Scholastic Aptitude Test is a 1,100, according to a report obtained by Breitbart News.
By comparison, Mr Bush – who earned a history degree from Yale in 1968 – got 1206 out of a possible 1600 points in the same test he took at Andover boarding school in Massachusetts.
If Mr Obama, who majored in political science at Columbia, were near the average of that year, it would mean he had worse high school grades than a president derided by many as the dumbest in history.
Of course, Mr Obama went on to distinguish himself by going on to earn the second highest honour in a graduate law degree at Harvard.

and you must have a low IQ, since you haven’t seen the pictures.
I took SAT once, got a 1200+, my girl friend was pissed. She was an honors student (I was in bottom 10% grade wise) and beat her. lol, I loved that! Her brother beat me with a 1600, perfect SAT score! How the heck does anyone do that?
Right you are. Using the MSM's methodology, if any, of their "evolving" claim, that 0b0z0's IQ is 180; I have to admit that mine is 17,000!
Gee, I must have been exhausted when they tested me!
70 puts him in the second highest group. He'd need a 93 to be in the first tier.
Who cares? It was only SEX!
It's sad the boys at the New York Times and Washington Post can't fine Chicago OR Hawaii on a map... or California or Kenya ... or...
” of course the boy is an idiot... if he wasn’t, they’d be blasting his grades everywhere saying how much smarter he is than Bush, but they can’t, cause he’s not!!! “
Obama would be bragging about this just like OBL.
He has, at best average intelligence....at best!
I didn’t go through with it because it was a pretty rough time in my life and I had no idea what I wanted to do at the time.
And last I remember, I think 40 was passing.
Well’duh! (addressed to the author). Most of us here on Free Republic knew long ago that the man is as dumb as a box of rocks! Hence, the telepromptor. The MSM runs interference for him so his stupidity and ineptness doesn’t show. The trouble is, it is stupidity combined with narcissism and just plain evil while
lacking a conscience.
Hubby has a friend who took the SAT for another buddy, back before they made you show ID. He got a 1600, but couldn’t claim credit for it, since he took it under the buddy’s name.
at best...
That would be “Mrs. 1440” thank you very much, dear. I was never a “Mr.” even when I was a fellow.
Thank you for sharing your insights, dear Kenny Bunk!
Does this article make any sense at all? Does the writer understand that SAT’s and grades (GPA) are two entirely different things. And that GPAs are weighed for admissions purposes against the school(s) the applicants attend? Last I looked, Occidental is a ‘community college.’
And, let us be honest, 1206/1600 SAT is not that great a score for W. Were he not a ‘legacy’ he most likely would not have been admitted.
Simple mistakes like that cost me at least 100 points on my olden days SATs! And it does show my patriarchal cultural bias. No scholarship for me.
They’re vomiting with rage over at DailyPsykosis and DumpsterUnderground. How DARE anyone vet The One? LOL! Gonna be a real popcorn season for us conservatives.
