Sorry, I think you have it backwards.
Obama was/is not very smart. IF he was we would all have seen his transcripts from Columbia and Harvard Law.
We would have known his SAT scores.
The Secret Service stated that Obama spent most of his off time as POTUS watching SportsCenter. All he was good at was reading from the Tele Prompter. He also had charisma.
John Kerry attended Yale University. His grades were not the best. He never released his SAT scores, which means they probably were not as good as GW Bush’s. However, we know that Kerry is good a picking rich women to marry. He is a genius, but I suspect he is smarter than Obama.
My point is, do not give too much credit to Barry. He is not the man behind the curtain. He is, and has always been a slacker.
Obama actually went to Columbia COLLEGE, an undergrad component of Columbia University. Most people it seems think he went to CU.
True.
IF he was we would all have seen his transcripts from Columbia and Harvard Law. We would have known his SAT scores.
No politician does that willingly. There is no win in it. If the scores are low, the politician is stupid. If the scores are high, the politician is bragging and somebody who needs to be taken down a peg.
We have Kerry's grades because they were in military files he released. We have George W. Bush's because somebody at Yale illegally leaked them. We know John McCain's class ranking because at military academies it is considered a public record. I don't know why we know Biden's law school class ranking, but no politician ever reveals information like this willingly.
