Richard Feynman scored 125 on a standardized IQ test. Since Feynman was obviously a genius, I would have to say that IQ scores mean very little. And since this guy is arguing that IQ tests DO serve as accurate measures of intellect, while using a line of reasoning that contradicts itself based on evidence such as Feynman's score, I would have to say this video only serves to further that postulate.
In Orwell's Animal Farm, the animals made the serious mistake of assuming that, since the pigs were the most intelligent species of all the animal species on the farm, they were therefore most likely to lead with morality. If you haven't, read Animal Farm by George Orwell.
I'm not particularly interested in his grades as a demonstration of his intelligence--many universities are worried about the fact that grade inflation is rampant. An A isn't what it used to be.
Let's review the result of mr obama's IQ, shall we? He has zero experience in: 1) Budgeting 2) Finance 3) Businesses - Large or Small 4) State's Rights 5) DOD 6) National Guard 7) Foreign Affairs 8) Health Care 9) Medicine/Medical Field 10) Military Matters 11) Science & Technology 12) Research & Development This is what he learned in school: 1) How to read a tele-prompter 2) Dress Neatly 3) BULL-SHIT In the real world, he would be called a BIG-TIME-BULL-SHITTER - All Mouth & No Action
Your right, Obama isn't smart. I mean only an idiot who was born black in America and the son of a Kenyan immigrant that graduated from Harvard and taught Constitutional Law can be president of the U.S. Wow, this guy and group is anti Muslim, anti gay, anti liberal progressive thinking......isn't this the reason we got into this mess in the beginning.
@tonydorsett33 homophobe is a very odd word don't you think? doesn't it mean one who is afraid of homosexuals or homosexuality in general? I have to say that though I do not agree with the life choices of the gay community I am in fact not afraid of them.
@tonydorsett33 no Tony he is just saying that you can't claim to be smart if you can't prove it, and his disregard for the constitution on so so so many ocassions leads me to believe that he probably wasn't teaching constitutional law very well.
Respond to this video... You can criticize Obama for many things, being dumb is not one of them. He doesn't have disregard for the Constitution, completely contrary, he understands as the forefathers did that the Constitution isn't some holy document never to be questioned, it should be looked at every 30-40 years and revised to fit the times.
@tonydorsett33 that is true many things need to change in order to fit todays society but that does not mean that we should have fewer rights than people did then. So many of the problems we face today are because of congress changing the constitution not to modernize it but to make it easier for them to manipulate the system. It is congresses right to alter the constitution, but not in such a way that the people suffer
@AgrivatedKillah Pretty much, but hey, people like to stick with the old and never update the new. Like I said Thomas Jefferson wrote about how the Constitution should be looked at every 40 years or so to keep up with the times.
@AgrivatedKillah - If the Constitution is "old and basically out of date thing" then why don't you come up with something better? Go ahead. I want to laugh at your colossal failure and your impotence.
Any loser can come up with a bullshit, know-nothing criticism that has no basis in reality but few can actually make a difference. Go ahead and try! I want you to "update" it and make it "shiny and new." You can't. You're just a useful idiot who doesn't know anything but repeats slogans.
I know plenty of people who could be a member of MENSA but they don't bother taking the test because they don't feel they have to prove themselves with a card, they are happy in the knowledge that they are clever, and don't need to make it official. Don't get all high and mighty because you took a vanity test.
He may be an A student (we'll take his word for it). But more importantly, what classes did he take? I think THAT'S what Obama really doesn't want us to know.
@USERACCOUNT40001 i thought he was Irish, looks very Irish to me. As for IQ he was able to recognise that Guinness in Ireland tastes different to in America, maybe cos you've built a nation founded on faking it and shown you can go all the way to the top by doing so, just like his predecessors.
@steve0281 So if I make a video and show a card and say I'm a member of mensa would you believe me? What if I made a video and showed a card and said I was a CIA agent would you believe me too? It's easy to talk about being intelligent. All you have to do is flap your lips. Obama has made over 5 million dollars from the sales of his book. For someone who is supposedly not intelligent his certainly not making a stupid man's salary.
@PorkChopMissPiggy I can easily verify all that you claim. MENSA assigns numbers to the members (I know). I can also confirm whether or not you're with the CIA. Usually flapping one's lips is a clear indication of not being intelligent. If intelligence were a prerequisite for being rich then all rich people would qualify for MENSA. Your argument is specious. What has he done to prove that he is actually "intelligent?" The best argument toward that is he sealed all his records.
@steve0281 Do you have evidence that illuminatitv is a mensa member? One can also be on welfare or homeless and still be a member of mensa. We honor intelligent people because of what they can PHYSICALLY DO. Examples would be perform heart surgery, find the cure for cancer, invent an alternative fuel source that can replace oil, make money. Obama has proven he can make good money. What has illuminatitv PHYSICALLY DONE other then make videos and flap his lips?
@PorkChopMissPiggy It wouldn't take much to confirm it. What evidence do you have that Obama is smart? He got elected? I remember a US senator being interviewed and it was revealed that he wasn't all that bright. His response was that "intelligence was not a requirement for the job." That was the same job the current POTUS used to have. Has the president done any of those things that you listed? Being accomplished is not a MENA requirement. Passing an IQ test is.
@steve0281 Considering intelligence is subjective, even IQ tests are subjective. We first must agree on what traits we consider to be that of an intelligent person.
@Balsology I think that is pretty fair. I work with tons (literally) of people that are extremely intelligent, but only in a few (maybe only one) area and are severely lacking in most others. I am generally considered to be fairly bright, but I have been wrong about things that people who are not considered as bright were correct on. How about abstract thought and seeing connections that others don't see (yet exist)? I think that would be a pretty good place to start, But that is also subjective
@steve0281 I like that idea of abstract thought. I myself am a Progressive, whom earnestly believes in thinking/moving outside the box. However, the problem with that is you can be too abstract. Ultimately a mixture of the two is best. We must be progressive while being conservative, a tough job to do for sure.
@Balsology I am Libertarian and so I live outside the box on a daily basis. I can see where that would make me appear to be too abstract considering what today goes for "middle of the road" and "extreme." Since at the time of the Founders I would be considered "middle of the road" we can blame the paradigm shift on the implementation of the Overton Window strategy.
@steve0281 There I believe I must disagree. The "founders" as you put it are not something sacred, nor one defiable thing. Everything they did was political, the Constitution was political, they were not perfect and did not agree. Even the constitution they ratified, they greatly despised. The constitution itself is not sacred nor perfect, for it has been edited 26 times. The legacy of our first countrymen is not their beliefs, but the system of solving problems they have left for us use.
@Balsology I guess that would depend on one's point of view. The system they devised was based on the radical idea of whether man has the ability to self govern or not. I think that he does. Additionally, the Founders put certain things in writing at the insistance of others so that certain concepts would not be misconstrued in the future. Yes, there are Founders I disagree with, they were all, as am I, flawed. But the US was blessed to have them there at that time,in that place.
@steve0281 Indeed, the system devised was the radical ideal of self-governance without any source of a 'divine' or monarch. Which also consists the right to self-govern even over our own past.
Our history should not limit our future by perceived ideals, for that in itself would be tyranny. If there's one thing those men knew it's this: Politics and people will always disagree and rarely see eye to eye. And so they created a system for that exchange to work. No more and no less.
@Balsology To quote Santayana, "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." I cannot imagine a tyranny more heinous than constantly repeating past mistakes. And I agree that politics and people will disagree, that is why I would like to limit the size of government and if people don't agree with each other, then they don't have to deal with each other.
@steve0281 Oh I was not saying we should not remember our past, we should not let ourselves be bound to the past. In other words, just because the people of the past found ways to get by doesn't mean that those same ways to get by should be ours as well. The past SHOULD NOT dictate to us what policies are correct or incorrect. Thus; any argument that is centered on "well the founders believed..." it doesn't matter they believed, what matters is the process they gave us to solving our problem
@Balsology That's fair. But what they passed down is ensconced in the Constitution and that is the law of the land. ALL government employees, from the POTUS to the lowliest recruit in the military take an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic. Ignoring that has caused us more problems that doing so supposedly had helped.
@steve0281 Or what they've passed down to us in the constitution is whats left over after many generations have reformed it (26 times) for the better. That means that we also must do so from what we find to be right as well.
The constitution we swear to protect, is a much different one than the first Americans swore too, and our country is radically different. If we had simply limited ourselves to the scope of the Constitution and not work for progress, we'd still have slaves.
@Balsology People are still people. Not all the revisions have been for the better. I would like to see it change in a couple of key aspects. As far as slavery goes, people work longer to serve the government than feudal serfs did. Additionally the attitude that the government owns everything is rampant among the populace and the government. Don't think so? Try not paying your property taxes one year and you'll find out who really owns it. Not to mention the rest of your possessions.
Obama was president of Harvard Law Review and graduated magna cum laude, he was also professor of constitutional law.
You wave your mensa card you printed off of your ink jet printer around on your astoundingly dumb youtube videos. This is not a comparison you want to be making.
@EntropyGuardian no he was not a professor .. he was a stand in teacher .. a TA. and he was the only president of the Harvard law review never published or offered a job as a clerk. he stated himself that his grades in his first year of college were abysmal which he accounted to drug use. I think it is fair to ask for his school records .. hell ANY records would be nice. But I guess that is too much to ask of the one. You been drinking the kool-aid. Check the facts
@Lipsnx4u Yes, Harvard is lying, the Hawaiian authorities are lying... Everyone is lying except the few birther nutcases who swing faked Kenyan "birth certificates" in the face of federal judges. Sure.
@magicmulder Are you implying that every and all employees of an institution tell the truth? If so, that sets a new record. It's shallow of you, in this issue to pick up on the line "birther nutcases" as coined by the media to describe oppositional viewpoints. BTW - I saw a report that Germany, is advancing quite well with sharia compliance. Is this another media spook ? Just asking...
@Lipsnx4u That's not what I'm implying. But, reversing the argument, I wonder what proof or expertise you'd be willing to accept if you believe the authorities are lying to you. Not a federal judge because he could be lying as well. Not an expert on document forgery because he could be lying as well. Would you trust anyone except yourself? And if so, how to proceed? You can't tell a forgery from an original, right?
And no, no sharia compliance in Germany. Where d'you get that?
@magicmulder How to proceed? To start...remove the executive order, signed by the president to conceal all personal documentation about himself. Lift the veil as a public figure. Open and shut case, then. No, I wouldn't trust anyone... for my own opinion. I look long and hard to weigh all sides against the middle and still... it's not always the answer. Being the case, perhaps we should all be silent and let the chips fall where they may. No more conspiracy theories. Live life. If you can.
@magicmulder About the islamification of Germany, it came from a report... I heard earlier in the week. I'd have to recount the source when I am well. I hope it's not true...
@Lipsnx4u It definitely isn't. Europe would rather be turning the other way, see the results of the Swiss popular vote to put a halt to buildung any more mosques. I hope that isn't the case either. What we need is balance, not oppression, one way or the other.
At least Obama can string together an intelligent, coherent sentence. Unlike Bush.
As for your intelligence. Based on the asinine nonsense that I've heard you spout in your videos, I believe it to be highly suspect. An intelligent man would know that intelligence isn't so two dimensional. Stop stroking your own ego for a minute, and actually think about what you supposedly believe. You're pathetic.
Why is it that when criticizing Obama's intelligence, the only thing these guys can come up with is that he misspoke about the # of states? Do they not realize that honestly believing that he didn't know the true # of states when he said that just makes them look 100 times more dumb? But please, that slip was 1 example. How many has GWB provided us? Also, I agree, being able to read & give a lucid speech isn't 100% proof of intelligence, but what is one's inability to do so indicative of? GWB?
This guy is too clever by half lol. I am not sure if hes stupid, silly or seriously delusional, as his attempts at questioning the presidents IQ seem desperate and vapid at best. IQ tests have been proven not only to be unrelated to success but culturally biased as well. This is unintentional comedic gold because the irony is that this man stumbles through what seems to be an angry tirade about the president using teleprompters when he could use one him self, as well as better writers.
Hello, Lib here. We don't think Obama is a genius... we are just happy he isn't a C grade retard that coasted on his family name and then draft dodged on that silver spoon up his ass.
We don't think the current mess is a sign of his intelligence, just the mess left over from the last administration.
But go ahead I know you all have to short of a memory to remember how this all started.
@killerbandit "We don't think the current mess is a sign of his intelligence, just the mess left over from the last administration." ROFLMAO .. that's just a joke now. No one believes it anymore.
LOL....please tell me if all you high IQ mensa members are successful in life....hmmm tell me if all of you actually became rich, powerfull and or in a position of power? I know some of mensa members are downright poor!...OKEY!!! SO TELL ME....DOES HIGH IQ EQUATES SUCCESS?
@BevHillsKid Attribute your claim for average black IQ please. His Kenyan Dad was all black and his Mom white so where do you get 8%? Racism is ignorant and ugly whether its from Ben Jealous or someone who is politically opposed to Obama.
@BevHillsKid I'd bet he scored higher in reading and critical reading than math. Could be wrong. I'd guess 1500. I don't think he's stupid, just haven't seen any evidence of the brilliance attributed to him
I like your stuff but....You say you don't "posture yourself as a super genius" then brag on Mensa membership. Hmmm. Pride goeth....
Keep up the entertaining videos. Having administered many "standardized intelligence tests" I know the limitations and flaws of "monitored" instruments. Genius is demonstrated, not tested for.
The problem with Obama as with all who come from academia, they have no real world experience and no common sense. They come from a world where no dissent is allowed to intrude on their Marxist thought process. Communism would be great for the country if we were in charge of running things.
@genomega but does he really come from academia? He appears to come from the actors guild. He was hired to do the hit job on the us. The mastermind with forethought and malice created the scenarios so heinous (9/11) and now Oil rig explosion that Americans wanted to believe this snake. Republicans must demand his proof of who he really is or we must force this actor out of office. Just a crooked attorney manipulating the trusts of the estate of Honey R. Siegal deceased. I object. Resign Obama.HS
Hey, "world citizen"... you do know there is no such thing? Oh I'm sure you see yourself as objective somehow because you don't fancy any allegience to any particular nation, but just go and try to denounce your citizenship and then declare yourself independent of all nations..... So anyway, your unimpressive obscenity-laced comment is irrelevant. I and most everyone else in the US couldn't care less about what the rest of the world would prefer when it comes our leadership, FYI.
@seijeff I'm with ya, jeff, that's how to tell the idiots from the more educated and refined people! LOL! Anyone else who's a "non-citizen" are not part of OUR country of real citizens who know the truth of the dangers of this Usurper in our WH! All they see is what they are allowed to see on their airwaves, same as our MSMs here who refuse to show us any dysfunctional attributes of Mr. Usurper because he owns them and they have to do what he tells them! The world doesn't know but we do!
@topwomble All that has been determined in that regard is that the average Tea Party member is less likely to have dropped out of high school and more likely to have a college degree, including PhD levels. This would imply they tend to be smarter than the average person, but it might just mean they work harder.
Oh, shut up. What, you don't have a legitimate argument against this, so you pull the race card? YOU are the racist, because you brought up race too soon. Ooh, the big bad white man is trying to "keep brothas down," look how evil he is!
Go back to your racist brothas, you shmuck. Leave intelligence issues to the intelligent.
@topwomble I guarantee you that I could ask 1,000 tea party people how to pronounce CORPSMAN and they could do it properly,unlike the current "smartest president ever".
I'm actually in mensa also. They make it seem difficult to get in but it really isn't.

@steve0281 Or what they've passed down to us in the constitution is whats left over after many generations have reformed it (26 times) for the better. That means that we also must do so from what we find to be right as well.
The constitution we swear to protect, is a much different one than the first Americans swore too, and our country is radically different. If we had simply limited ourselves to the scope of the Constitution and not work for progress, we'd still have slaves.

@Balsology People are still people. Not all the revisions have been for the better. I would like to see it change in a couple of key aspects. As far as slavery goes, people work longer to serve the government than feudal serfs did. Additionally the attitude that the government owns everything is rampant among the populace and the government. Don't think so? Try not paying your property taxes one year and you'll find out who really owns it. Not to mention the rest of your possessions.

Obama was president of Harvard Law Review and graduated magna cum laude, he was also professor of constitutional law.
You wave your mensa card you printed off of your ink jet printer around on your astoundingly dumb youtube videos. This is not a comparison you want to be making.
EntropyGuardian 1 year ago
@EntropyGuardian no he was not a professor .. he was a stand in teacher .. a TA. and he was the only president of the Harvard law review never published or offered a job as a clerk. he stated himself that his grades in his first year of college were abysmal which he accounted to drug use. I think it is fair to ask for his school records .. hell ANY records would be nice. But I guess that is too much to ask of the one. You been drinking the kool-aid. Check the facts

@Lipsnx4u Yes, Harvard is lying, the Hawaiian authorities are lying... Everyone is lying except the few birther nutcases who swing faked Kenyan "birth certificates" in the face of federal judges. Sure.
magicmulder 1 year ago
@magicmulder Are you implying that every and all employees of an institution tell the truth? If so, that sets a new record. It's shallow of you, in this issue to pick up on the line "birther nutcases" as coined by the media to describe oppositional viewpoints. BTW - I saw a report that Germany, is advancing quite well with sharia compliance. Is this another media spook ? Just asking...
Lipsnx4u 1 year ago
@Lipsnx4u That's not what I'm implying. But, reversing the argument, I wonder what proof or expertise you'd be willing to accept if you believe the authorities are lying to you. Not a federal judge because he could be lying as well. Not an expert on document forgery because he could be lying as well. Would you trust anyone except yourself? And if so, how to proceed? You can't tell a forgery from an original, right?
And no, no sharia compliance in Germany. Where d'you get that?
magicmulder 1 year ago
@magicmulder How to proceed? To start...remove the executive order, signed by the president to conceal all personal documentation about himself. Lift the veil as a public figure. Open and shut case, then. No, I wouldn't trust anyone... for my own opinion. I look long and hard to weigh all sides against the middle and still... it's not always the answer. Being the case, perhaps we should all be silent and let the chips fall where they may. No more conspiracy theories. Live life. If you can.

@Lipsnx4u It definitely isn't. Europe would rather be turning the other way, see the results of the Swiss popular vote to put a halt to buildung any more mosques. I hope that isn't the case either. What we need is balance, not oppression, one way or the other.

At least Obama can string together an intelligent, coherent sentence. Unlike Bush.
As for your intelligence. Based on the asinine nonsense that I've heard you spout in your videos, I believe it to be highly suspect. An intelligent man would know that intelligence isn't so two dimensional. Stop stroking your own ego for a minute, and actually think about what you supposedly believe. You're pathetic.

Why is it that when criticizing Obama's intelligence, the only thing these guys can come up with is that he misspoke about the # of states? Do they not realize that honestly believing that he didn't know the true # of states when he said that just makes them look 100 times more dumb? But please, that slip was 1 example. How many has GWB provided us? Also, I agree, being able to read & give a lucid speech isn't 100% proof of intelligence, but what is one's inability to do so indicative of? GWB?
eyeammi 1 year ago
This guy is too clever by half lol. I am not sure if hes stupid, silly or seriously delusional, as his attempts at questioning the presidents IQ seem desperate and vapid at best. IQ tests have been proven not only to be unrelated to success but culturally biased as well. This is unintentional comedic gold because the irony is that this man stumbles through what seems to be an angry tirade about the president using teleprompters when he could use one him self, as well as better writers.

Hello, Lib here. We don't think Obama is a genius... we are just happy he isn't a C grade retard that coasted on his family name and then draft dodged on that silver spoon up his ass.
We don't think the current mess is a sign of his intelligence, just the mess left over from the last administration.
But go ahead I know you all have to short of a memory to remember how this all started.

The problem with Obama as with all who come from academia, they have no real world experience and no common sense. They come from a world where no dissent is allowed to intrude on their Marxist thought process. Communism would be great for the country if we were in charge of running things.

@genomega but does he really come from academia? He appears to come from the actors guild. He was hired to do the hit job on the us. The mastermind with forethought and malice created the scenarios so heinous (9/11) and now Oil rig explosion that Americans wanted to believe this snake. Republicans must demand his proof of who he really is or we must force this actor out of office. Just a crooked attorney manipulating the trusts of the estate of Honey R. Siegal deceased. I object.

Hey, "world citizen"... you do know there is no such thing? Oh I'm sure you see yourself as objective somehow because you don't fancy any allegience to any particular nation, but just go and try to denounce your citizenship and then declare yourself independent of all nations..... So anyway, your unimpressive obscenity-laced comment is irrelevant. I and most everyone else in the US couldn't care less about what the rest of the world would prefer when it comes our leadership, FYI.

@topwomble All that has been determined in that regard is that the average Tea Party member is less likely to have dropped out of high school and more likely to have a college degree, including PhD levels. This would imply they tend to be smarter than the average person, but it might just mean they work harder.
