“I am generally unimpressed with Obama’s scholarship.”

He was magna cum laude at Harvard Law School; that means top 10% of the graduating class. By way of comparison, two other Harvard Law grads with the same distinction are Chief Justice John Roberts and Mitt Romney.

Obama is very intelligent. But his personal character and background are also very disturbing. He is a very dangerous man.

According to Wikipedia, Mitt Romnaey only graduated cum laude from HLS, although this is sufficiently impressive since he was in a joint program with HLS and Harvard Business School, and he did very well at the business school as well.

Mitt was in a law / business joint degree program. On the Business School side, he graduated in the top 5%, making him a Baker Scholar. He also got 1600 (old scale) on his SATs.

By the way, that kids-iq-tests.com site is worthless. It pegs Mitt's IQ at 122. Um, I don't think so.

Obama is very intelligent. But his personal character and background are also very disturbing. He is a very dangerous man.

This is true.

I am aware of his law school record. But I also cannot help but notice the number of times that he gets simple facts wrong. This is not a characteristic of extremely intelligent people. Mitt Romney and John Roberts just do not do this the way Obama does.

I am standing by my estimate of 130 max, which incidentally, is pretty damn smart. That's 2 SD above the white mean, which would put 95% of the white population below him.

Romney's IQ is way higher, as is Roberts'.
