Valerie Jarret said Obama the smartest man in the room...sat's please
perfect
silly peasant, there are no SAT’s in pakistan
If your kid was a certified genius, acing everything, why would she say something like that?
Normally a mother would say: "keep up the good work" to a star student.
I've ALWAYS thought Obama must have been fair to middling as a student, if he hasn't released his grades/ACT/SATs.
My guess is he's been affirmative action his whole life.
Able to read pretty words written by someone else.
Isn’t his time at Occidental College shrouded in the most mystery?
He didn’t have to waste his time on tests. He had a ‘red’ carpet laid out for him.
Was Obama in the bathroom at the time?
But being (half) black trumps all that!
Questions on when life begins are above his pay grade.
I doubt it very much.
The Saudi Royal family paid his way at Harvard Law School. Having millions of dollars counts in the Ivy League. And he wasn’t Barry Soetoro, the Indonesian any longer; while attending Harvard Law he had morphed into Barack Hussein Obama II, son of a communist Kenyan goat herder.
If we ever do get an Odumbo SAT number it’s guaranteed to have a factored-in 57-states-stupid type increase.
Do foreign students have to take the SAT?

Could be they just applied a scaling factor to his Kenyan SAT score.
Whatever you get for filling in your name.
They don’t give tyhe SAT in Kenya, do they?
“Only way that happens is if he is the ONLY man in the room.”
With one caveat; no furniture either. A chair, even a wall, would have a higher IQ. By definition ANYTHING would have higher IQ than a negative IQ.
“...not much of a man either, IMO.”
Not a man, period.
If baraq had any accomplishments worth of crowing about, his media would have been crowing about them since ‘07.
All of his history has been sealed away and no one is allowed to dig into his past. Means he has a lot to hide.
But as long as official dc and their media don’t care about that, we may never know who this guy is and what his past is.
I was going to guess in the 85-90 range.
The Adolescent President
The rhetorical excesses of Barack Obama.
By George Will
NATIONAL REVIEW ONLINE
APRIL 23, 2014
Recently, Barack Obama — a Demosthenes determined to elevate our politics from coarseness to elegance, a Pericles sent to ameliorate our rhetorical impoverishment — spoke at the University of Michigan. He came to that very friendly venue — in 2012, he received 67 percent of the vote in Ann Arbor’s county — after visiting a local sandwich shop, where a muse must have whispered in the presidential ear. Representative Paul Ryan (R., Wis.) had recently released his budget, so Obama expressed his disapproval by calling it, for the benefit of his academic audience, a “meanwich” and a “stinkburger.”
Try to imagine Franklin Roosevelt or Dwight Eisenhower or John Kennedy or Ronald Reagan talking like that. It is unimaginable that those grown-ups would resort to japes that fourth-graders would not consider sufficiently clever for use on a playground.
Anyone who has tried to engage a member of that age cohort in an argument probably recognizes the four basic teenage tropes, which also are the only arrows in Obama’s overrated rhetorical quiver. They were all employed by him last week when he went to the White House briefing room to exclaim, as he is wont to do, about the excellence of the Affordable Care Act.
First came the invocation of a straw man. Celebrating the ACA’s enrollment numbers, Obama, referring to Republicans, charged: “They said nobody would sign up.” Of course, no one said this. Obama often is what political philosopher Kenneth Minogue said of an adversary – “a pyromaniac in a field of straw men.”
Adolescents also try to truncate arguments by saying that nothing remains of any arguments against their arguments.
Regarding the ACA, Obama said the debate is “settled” and “over.” Progressives also say the debate about catastrophic consequences of man-made climate change is “over,” so everyone should pipe down. And they say the debates about the efficacy of universal preschool, and the cost-benefit balance of a minimum-wage increase, are over. Declaring an argument over is so much more restful than engaging with evidence.
A third rhetorical move by argumentative adolescents is to declare that there is nothing to argue about because everything is going along swimmingly. Seven times Obama asserted that the ACA is “working.” That is, however, uninformative because it is ambiguous...
