From Wiki answers..

What is Barack Obama’s IQ?
In: IQ, Barack Obama

Protected question **(editorial comment from me - if his IQ was high, he would have released that information. he has refused, just like he has with all his other records)

He has not released that information. From the information available:

* The average IQ for a college graduate with a bachelor’s degree in the U.S. is 115.

Obama graduated Magna Cum Laude from Harvard Law School.

* Obama’s IQ has been estimated anywhere from 110-165. He is a graduate of Columbia University and Harvard Law School, where he served as editor, and later as president of the Harvard Law Review; which is an extremely prestigious position. Obama also taught at the University of Chicago for over 10 years, a top-ranked university in the United States. However, these achievement-based estimates fail to account for the possibility that Obama was a beneficiary of affirmative action, which based on collegiate averages would lower his estimated IQ to the 115-120 range.

* Obama attended an elite private school in Honolulu as a scholarship student. Since all of the graduates from that school at that time took collegiate aptitude tests and he was not a National Merit Scholar, Semifinalist, or Outstanding Participant, his maximum possible score on the SAT was 1230, which is the 96.9 percentile. That would translate to a maximum possible IQ of 129. It should be noted, however, that one of the requirements for the National Merit Scholarship is taking the Preliminary SAT test. If Obama did not take the PSAT, he could very well have scored above 1230 on the SAT without being a National Merit Scholar.

I guess Obama won't release his K-12 and university transcripts because they're so high he doesn't want to embarrass the rest of America!

I realize that all liberals consider themselves much more intelligent than conservatives. Big deal Chris! I have a younger brother whose IQ is over 160. He is a staunch Republican.
