July 18, 2006 Parting Shot

In six years in the White House, George W. Bush has screwed up so many things, you have to wonder: Is he unlucky or incompetent?
Well, now we know.
Thanks to the Lovenstein Institute of Scranton, Pennsylvania, which just released a study of the IQ of twelve American presidents, over the last 50 years. And the results are – well, not surprising.
The average IQ of six Republican presidents – Eisenhower, Nixon, Ford, Reagan, Bush 41, and Bush 43 – was 115.5. President Nixon topped the list, at 155.
The average IQ of six Democratic presidents – Roosevelt, Truman, Kennedy, Johnson, Carter, and Clinton – was 156. With President Clinton leading the class at 182.
The smartest president of the last 50 years?
You guessed it: Bill Clinton, with his 182 IQ.
The least intelligent president of the last 50 years?
You guessed it again: George W. Bush, with his rock bottom IQ of 91: seven points lower than his Daddy.
So now we know. Iraq, Iran, North Korea, Social Security, Medicare, Stem Cells, FEMA, the deficit, immigration…
The reason George Bush has screwed up in so many areas the last six years.
He’s not just incompetent. He’s just plain dumb – the dumbest president in the last 50 years. And, probably, the dumbest president ever!
That’s my parting shot for today. I’m Bill Press.

Here's the screen cap if anyone's interested.

I guess I misread that point about Gore.
LOL, Press pulled the post?? Too funny. Of course there will be no admission of there having been an error. What a putz.
He may be gifted, but his grasp of foreign affairs is weak, but then again, look at Carter.
Yeah, but at least Bill Press has his own movie - how many people can claim a feature film about their life? His is called "Dumb and Dumberer......."
The Navy made me take the test then offered me Annapolis. I was just trying to stay out of Nam.

Tell him..that his idol...John Kerry had college
grades below.....President George W. Bush. Jake
Let's see how smart you are!!
There are two identical pictures that will appear on the screen. Almost 8000 people were tested to see if they could find the 3 differences and only about 900 found all three. See how observant you are, and if you find all 3 differences, you are one of the most elite people in the world!
LOL! I seen a similar one liek that before. :) hehehehehe!
I think he meant the sum.
OUCH!
It is my understanding that clinton was the first Black president.
President Bush is still holds a Masters.
BAHAHAHA, a 91 for GWB and a 98 to GHWB! 100 is average. That means the average person on the street. For anyone to believe that any president of the US in modern times is over one half of a standard deviation BELOW average intelligence is silly. You would have to be a complete idiot. BAHAHAHA. Bill Clinton a 182. That would put him as being in the 1 in 3 million range. I doubt it.
I took the IQ tests in school and the teacher told us that we would not be graded on it. I didn't think twice about it and just did the best I could but talking with friends years later they all said they just filled it all in without reading it since it would not be graded which makes me wonder if the average IQ is not much better than random answers.
--This is the email I sent him--
He won't read it.
