atomic-age: keylock71: They're holding onto the real damning information until October... Apparently, Obama didn't get a check next to "Plays well with others" on his 3rd grade report card. That's going to turn the election on its head when that news drops.

Well, there goes my vote.


I'm holding out for his madrassa penmanship records

Gwyrddu: stoli n coke: I like to think that in Hell, all poop is funneled telepathically into Breitbart's mouth forever.

You mean telekinetically. Telepathy just involves the movement of information, telekinesis is the movement of objects.


Okay then, telekinetically into Brietbart's mouth, telepathically into his bloggers' minds.

Pity the SAT doesn't measure sociopathic tendencies.

Satanic_Hamster: Right.

So this week Obama is too stupid to tie his shoes and got everywhere because of affirmative action, right. Next week he'll be back to being an evil genius who's elitist and plotting the country's demise.


You must be in your 5th year coma, or just another DemocRAT pushing miss info as a defense for Obumbo hiding his made up past. 4 years in and you're still braindead...

Don't bother. Depending on the state you live in, you may have already voted for him without knowing.

If this is true and Bush actually did take his own SAT test, I think it says more about the accuracy of the test than their respective intelligence.

I have plenty of complaints about Obama, but stupidity isn't one of them. Bush, OTOH...

DeaH: I don't understand this. Most of these people think affirmative action is a bad thing, but this sort of thing, if they had any real evidence, would prove affirmative action is a very good thing. Let's go with their assumption that Obama had bad SAT scores. Affirmative action alone gave him the chance to get into Harvard. Once at Harvard, Obama did brilliant enough work to he graduated magna cum laude (meaning he had at least a 3.75 GPA). His work was so outstanding that he was very successful as the president of the Law Review. Clearly, low SAT scores did not properly assess his abilities. This means that affirmative action is actually a good policy. Neither Mitt nor the last Bush president had nearly as high a GPA. Clearly, letting candidates in because they are rich does not find the better candidates, affirmative action does.

Excellent point. Smart'd.

I'm kind of fond of "Obummer". I can clearly see salt-of-the-earth types repeating it ad nauseam like it's the most clever shiat ever.

But a great source for "facts".

Well, in their defense, I read that article, and I dont think they put forward a single thing as a fact.

what the hell was the point of this?


Same as all of the other articles that they put out: Obama is a big doodyhead and we need to have someone else running the country. Anyone else. Even a scumbag.

It's excusable since he was probably high when he took the test. I'd overlook it.

You're kind. Although, reading it again, I notice a glaring typo - it should read, "Obama did brilliant enough work to have graduated magna cum laude (meaning he had at least a 3.75 GPA)."

I had a really long sentence that I broke into three. I am my own worst editor, but I stand by my point. If Obama had low SATs, then his work at Harvard show that SATs are not accurate assessments for all people. Affirmative action clearly picked the better candidate. Somehow, I don't think this is what the people at Breitbart want to prove.

As a true believer BHO should embrace his affimative action past.

Here is the crux of the article:

If Obama's SAT scores were near the average If Obama's SAT scores were near the average of the transfer students entering Columbia in the fall of 1981, he would have scored significantly lower than George W. Bush, whose combined math and verbal scores were 1206 out of a possible 1600 points (as revealed by the New Yorker in 1999).

Because the man who graduated Harvard Magna Cum Laude and became POTUS was likely near the average of the 67 students transferred to Harvard. Seems logical to me. I bet he even brought the average down. He may even have had an SAT score of 0. It's possible.

SATs are a good assessing tool but shouldn't be relied upon as the sole tool. Most effective educators realize this. As to the editing thing, my brain automatically supplied the correction in context. I personally consider myself to be one of the worst self editors EVAR.

But fark all that, I still want his kindergarten transcripts. Because socialism.

balki1867: Did I read that wrong or did the article claim that W scored a 1206 on the SAT ?

(That's un-possible if you're scoring at home, unless that SAT was very different back then)


The last digit is always a zero, at least since 1981. Perhaps that wasn't true further back. You certainly see enough screenplays and news reports making that mistake to make one wonder if that changed at some point.

do we really know for sure if the commie-in-chief went to college???"


Why, yes. Yes you do, thanks in part to your bloated worm-feast Andy Breitbart, who proved without a doubt to the millions of non-PBS-watchers like yourself, that Obama went to Harvard. Now stop hogging all that breathable air, oxygen thief!
 
2012-05-23 09:41:20 AM
I would like to see Pres Obama release his school transcripts just for curiosity.

As for Sat scores, I don't think they mean a whole lot. I scored 1350 (640 verbal-710 math) in the fog of a 3 alarm hangover and the biggest stoner I graduated with scored a perfect 1600.

Nope. Not to be technical, but magna is next 10% after summa. Certainly, a great achievement.

His work was so outstanding that he was very successful as the president of the Law Review.

Nope Do you have any evidence he was "very successful" in this role. IIRC he wrote one unsigned article. That's it. No other legal writings

I think the major downfall of affirmative action is giving butthurt racist losers the belief that they're smarter than the president and could have been something if not for them blacks.
