I was on the Yahoo homepage a second ago, and found a link that mentioned IQ's and such of famous people and what do you know! Obama is a genius! But I love how they come to that conclusion. And guess what? Republican IQ scores are very low. Who would have guessed...

This is the link to the IQ's of famous people...and I like how Bill Clinton is a genius, Charles Darwin is more intelligent than Albert Einstein and basically the smartest person in the world is apparently Benjamin Netanyahu- who knew?
But by far, my favorite is Obama:
I love how they come to the conclusion that he is a genius:
"Barack Obama's estimated IQ score range is 130 to 148 and quite possibly higher. However, nowhere on the Internet can anyone locate Obama's IQ score. His college transcript from Harvard is not available and I cannot locate his college GPA, his SAT score, or his LSAT score, or any other tangible evidence of his IQ score.
However, after performing a bit of research the facts were uncovered reflecting his LSAT score while attending Harvard Law School. To much disappointment, we do not know his actual LSAT score. However, we found that the average LSAT score for all Harvard students during Barrack Obama's college years were 171. Furthermore,the percentile rank for an LSAT score of 171 at Harvard during Obama's college stay were 98.8 %."
"Since MENSA accepts many different IQ tests as well as other tests of mental acuity to qualify for MENSA, it is safe to estimate that Barack Obama's IQ score could range anywhere from a low IQ score of 130 based on the Stanford Binet IQ Test, to a high IQ score of 148 based on the Cattell IQ Test. Note both of these tests are acceptable tests that MENSA will accept for membership."
So in a roundabout way-- Obama is a genius! Or at least they really really really really really want him to be. I'm a genius too! I don't have any proof, but I am, okay? Yeah I'm a genius!
I knew a guy who was a member of Mensa. He had a document testifying to such in his office. He showed no respect for his employees...the little stupid people. Eventually, his business was shut down and he ended up going to prison on a credit card scam. Not too smart.
So I had a 1490 on my SAT and a 34 on my ACT. According to their “assumptions” I’m smarter than Albert Einstein. I wish someone would tell that to my DiffyQ teacher at U of I and ask him why he gave me my first ‘C’. He just didn’t know how smart I was.
The masses are too stupid to know what is good for them. Thank goodness there are the liberal commie elite that is willing and able to tell them what to do. Not
Hide your transcripts and you could be even smarter than Charles Darwin!
Being a genius doesn’t mean success is inevitable.
Most people with super high IQ’s need to be barred from contact with people, sharp objects, power tools, electricity, plumbing, or computers.
Give me a high school graduate who understands rightytightyleftyloosy over a mensa decoration any day.
Well he is the only leader of any nation who sees the threat coming out of the middle east so I guess that would make him pretty smart. For a politician any way.
And he is sexy, which is a nice bonus.
I’m going to cut you some slack because I like Benjamin too, but smarter than Albert Einstein? But okay, he’s cool.
In Obama’s case, it works out to something like 1 trillion dollars in federal spending per IQ point.
You are clearly a person of taste and refinement. :)
I should have been clearer that I was speaking of living politicians. Which, IMHO, are not a very smart group as a rule.
Since Einstein is dead and tended to keep out of politics for the most part I did not include him. As an aside, Hero of Alexandria, Archimedes and Da Vinci were probably all smarter then Einstein was although since IQ tests were not around at the time this is all speculation.
It’s the IQ of his voters that matters most.
Being a Negro race advocate and disruptor is his entire claim to fame!
Where is this bozo's birth certificate? I don't need him making decisions for me.
I know what my IQ tested out to be. I know what I got on my ACT. I will match mine to those of the The Great O-unknown and I have no doubt mine is higher. Unlike those in the media who “tingle” or maybe even “wee-wee” at the mention of his name, I don’t think he is a genius. I’m sure I can read from TOTUS equally as well as he does. Unlike him, I can speak in intelligent and coherent sentences when not under the spell of TOTUS. Until I am provided proof of his purported intelligence level I have nothing but my own observations to rely on - and those aren’t in his favor at this time.
obama has not produced any records, so how does one get a hold of the IQ test results of this character “doing business as” barack hussein obama?
I don't think his IQ is above 125. I base this, in part, on his umimpressive level of general information. Individuals with high IQs tend to have a high level of facts at their disposal. As unpopular as she is around here, Hillary Clinton is a good example. If you watched any of the RAT debates, it was striking how readily she could support her positions with fact after fact recalled from memory.
I saw an article where using a few methods, this (apolitical) guy estimates his IQ at 125, based on what he did at Harvard. I have seen GWB’s IQ estimated at just about the same, from his SAT scores.
Their genius is headed for the sewer via the toilet bowl.
Last Time I check, you can’t determine intelligence by test scores. In fact, Many intelligent people did poorly on many test scores.
My membership expired years ago.
Not a big deal, pass a test. Enter a club filled with people pretty full of themselves. Get nauseated, let membership expire.
Bragging rights? Maybe. But IMO it’s rather lame to have to tell people you’re smart...if you really are you don’t have to tell anyone.
