How do his views square with people like obama, who have below average IQs, but an exceptional ability to mimic their more intelligent brethren, thus giving the appearance of having superior intelligence?

I've never heard Peterson address Obama. In my personal opinion one would have to look less at IQ and more toward personality attributes that tend more towards sociopathy. One who has some degree of innate charisma, who can also lie and deceive without the slightest moral qualm. You would also have to factor in a complicit media structure that constantly elevated him to the status of a deity (and a very gullible public with the attention span of a gnat).
