1. are not his parents noted to have "genius" IQs?

2. was he a self proclaimed "poor student"?

3. has he refused to release his academic transcripts, if they in fact reveal a "straight A" student?

4. did the faculty at the Univ of Chicago consider him "lazy and incompetent"?


Obama is an imbecile, as the factual data clearly shows.
Didn't you say you're some kind of physician? If you are, I'm really surprised you would say something like this. Surely you of all people, should understand that school performance is not a good indicator of a person's IQ? You never took any psychology or psychiatry classes? Child development?

My mother was never a student at all...never went to school a day in her life. The woman was absolutely brilliant and could speak eight languages, had keen problem-solving abilities, could sum up a situation in a nanosecond and could read people like nobody I have ever met.

Many kids on the autism spectrum disorder do extremely poorly in school but have genius level IQs.
How could you not know this, doctor?

I don't know or care what Obama's IQ is but if the Republican candidates were actually smarter than Obama, they would have the election. Clearly it says more about the Republicans that they lost an election to an "imbecile".

Unfair comparison. Your mom is Russian, Obama is American (and a politician at that).

The mother's IQ is the best predictor of a child's IQ.

IQ isn't just genetics, it's also got to do with an infant's mental stimulation and prenatal environment.

As far as stated IQs, that's all we have as far as president's IQs. Interesting that the same people who claimed Bush wasn't all that smart are now insisting that you must be high IQ to become president and win votes.

I'd have to see Obama work some calculus problems before I would believe he's all that smart.

None of the people you mention are in any way imbeciles. You or I may not like them or agree with them, but none of those people has a low IQ.

In fact in terms of raw intelligence I think Ted Cruz is hands down the smartest Republican not only running for president, but that I have ever seen run for president, by a lot.

Many liberals seem to have learned when to lay off on bragging about nothingness........ you must not have gotten the memo.
The implication in the OP was the Obama is an imbecile, and simple put it would be impossible for an imbecile to get on Harvard law review. Basically no amount of affirmative action could get an imbecile onto Harvard law review. It just doesn't work that way as anyone who has been to an ABA accredited law school can tell you.

Simply put the fact that Obama was even on the Harvard law review is basically proof positive that he does not have the IQ of an imbecile. It is simple logic. Though it doesn't surprise me that some on the right cannot grasp this because often you will see the same people who are arguing Obama is an imbecile one day arguing that he is some kind of Communist mastermind the next day.

Obama thought there were 57 states.

Obama is more a puppet than any kind of mastermind.

Reagan was senile, Quayle was an idiot, Bush was stupid, Palin was an idiot - yes, liberals have no room whatsoever to complain about this sort of thing.

The L.A. Times proclaimed that he has an "intellectual stammer".

Oh please, he's a garden variety moron/shyster. But what do I know, I'm not smart enough to have a stammer.
