It's not plausible to me that a person with a 110 IQ could graduate magna cum laude from the top law school in the country. Since the tests on the most important courses are all taken anonymously, there is no way to do this via "affirmative action". I also don't believe that Krauthammer could have engaged in dinner conversation with Obama for several hours and not detected that Obama was substantially less intelligent than himself if this was indeed the case.
Of course Obama is not a genius, but he is clearly a smart guy. Lots of top people in Washington including the military, and many foreign leaders have dealt with him one-on-one and not one of them has come out and said the Emperor has no intellectual clothes. I don't believe that you friend's "inside information" is accurate.
I do agree with the point in the article that there are different kinds of smart. But Obama is not missing out on all of these.
“110 is in the upper half of the normal range. It sounds about right to me, given Obama’s mediocre verbal skills(absent the teleprompter) and his shallow judgment.”
Most average people would not guess there are 57 states.
You make some good points and of course I have no way to check a second source. I will say this President got to be President without that info or much else in the way of official background being public. He could have had someone else take the tests for him or he could be a bloody genius.
110? Are you sure that wasn’t B and M’s COMBINED score?
"Well, as any Chicago schoolboy knows,
there are many different kinds of smart."
Like smartass?
And it means that Americas industrial corporations will continue to suffer from a competitive disadvantage with manufacturers based in civilized countries where health care is considered a public trust and a right and the government pays the bill.
Sounds stupid to me.
“Yer supposed to post the pikchur when you say that!”

I know what you is doing when you deliberately misspell those words. You is trying to make us caucasian backwoods types look like ignoramuses. Don’t deny it, we is onto you! We is beginning the process of forming the National Association for the Advancement of Ridgerunners. Only those with a surname traceable to England, Scotland, Ireland or Wales will be eligible. We only let the Welsh in because we need a few who can sing. We start recruitment next week in Scotland and Robeson counties in North Carolina where we expect to sign up a lot of Locklear, Oxendine and friends. That’s an inside joke there.
