Snopes identified the Lovenstein Institute and their Presidential IQ info as a hoax.

Hi Jon,

Ronald Reagan, I.Q. 109, George H.W. Bush, I.Q. 098, George W. Bush, I.Q. 091. Here’s a link with the Lovenstein Institute listing of Presidential I.Q. scores. I’ve read the original report and as to how they came up with the various ratings. I wrote that Bill Clinton’s was 180 instead of the 182 listed in this link. Both Bush’s aren’t particularly ‘bright bulbs’, but in their case it’s their transgenerational connections in high places unique to these freebooters that made the difference concerning their ascendancy to high office.

Too bad intelligence, along with criminal background records checks and a drug testing with the results made public isn’t part and parcel to the election process.

All to often we’re stuck with a MSM sponsored ‘pig in a poke’ making it to the White House, this same media owned by “Deception Inc.”.

Should politicos need to campaign virtue as political issue, why not preach to spouse abusers, child abusers, rapists, abusers of the elderly, white collar criminals, practitioners of slavery, animal abusers, cultists who exploit their congregations physically, psychologically, monetarily, etc…?
Michelle Bachmann campaigns homosexual lifestyle as bondage. However, unlike slavery, it is biological and personal choice. How is homosexual marriage, anymore than heterosexual marriage, bondage? If one insists on preaching morals, speak to those who attack and threaten liberty; to those who vehemently crusade to invade the privacy of others.
I suspect the real issue is personal aversion.
Can we make some political rules? Can our political leaders agree to legislate and not sermonize? If one needs spiritual guidance, consult a spiritual institution. If legislation is required for the collective welfare, then
that is the purview of our political leaders. Morality has a place in legislation when others, not by choice, suffer because of corruption.

Hi Mr. Nemo,

I’m curious how your ‘interpolated IQ’ would rate a) Ronald Reagan and b) George W. Bush.

It seems to me that intelligence is not a prerequisite for being elected to the highest office of the USA.

I don’t disrespect Bachmann’s attempt at gaining the Presidency, but she needs to do her homework and “think” before she speaks. All too often she sounds like a ditz. She simply makes a fool of herself all to often like Sarah Palin.

There’s no shame in simply saying I don’t know the answer to the question, I’ll have to confer with my advisers and get back to you.

No one can be a SME (Subject Matter Expert) in all endeavors unless they are a polymath with a photographic memory.

Bill Clinton is one bright guy with a interpolated I.Q. based on his writings and tests to determine such of being 180 along with an almost photographic memory which allowed him to rise to the highest levels of this nation’s leadership among those that are “challenged” for the most part. He wasn’t referred to as “Slick Willy” simply to denigrate this man, he’s both extremely bright and slick.

Bachmann, Palin, Perry, Mitt Romney et al. simply aren’t in the same league as a Bill Clinton, so they need to do their homework and work harder at achieving victory at the polls.

My comments are not an endorsement for any of these aspiring crimpols; but to lay out the facts of what’s necessary for ascendancy in this media intensive circus known as elections 2012.

Hey Griff she’s taking one for the team man.
We should give her credit for those
angry eyes, beady though they be.
Poor girl may or may not know she’s political chum swimming with the big fish until she gets her tail bit off.

I wonder how long it takes her to fillet a 5 lb. Walleye ? Yum.
