Obama’s not stupid, but he’s certainly not brilliant.
I’d peg him at about a 110.
Sounds about right. Obama wouldn't seem stupid if we weren't constantly being told by his supporters how brilliant he is. If people keep telling you that the mediocre is terrific, you're bound to find it terrible (or vice-versa)
I remember reading an article by Alan Greenspan (smart guy, lousy Fed Chair towards the end of his term) where he stated that the two most intelligent Presidents that he ever worked with were Nixon and Clinton. That's probably true when it comes to raw intelligence, which isn't to say that either were good Presidents.
