Quote from 377OHMS:
I read somewhere that Obama's IQ is estimated to be about 115.
I don't know if that is good or bad. I only know that my mom is supposed to be 175 and she has trouble finding her car in the parking lot so 115 can't be good.
Obama has never officially released his IQ numbers,but his genes and academic accomplishments suggest he has an high IQ
Barack Obama's high-IQ brother
A commenter calling himself âresearchâ reminded me of another key fact indicating Barack Obamaâs high intelligence. According to a Times Online article, Barack Obama has a half brother, Mark Ndesandjo, who has three degrees, including an undergraduate degree from Brown and a Masterâs degree in Physics from Stanford.
I should remind readers that physics is not the kind of subject that an affirmative action admit looking for an easy degree would study. It seems that Barack Obama, Sr. gave birth to two sons with elite cognitive ability. Itâs amazing considering that they were raised by such different families, one in Indonesia and the other in Kenya, that they they both wound up getting difficult degrees from the most prestigious universities in the United States.
Kenya isnât a country known for its high IQ citizens, but Barack Obama, Sr., Harvard educated himself, was obviously gifted with freakishly high IQ genes that he passed on to his children. This is really a perfect example of the triumph of genes over environment.

Just as Obamaâs family suggests that Obama has high-IQ genes, Sarah Palinâs family suggests that that she has low IQ genes. Her son is a druggie, her daughter a teenage mom, no one in the family seems to be college-bound. People say that these are ânormal problemsâ faced by parents, but thatâs exactly what proves the point. These are normal problems for people with normal IQs of 100. Itâs absolutely not normal for parents with top 5% IQs (125 or higher) to have children with these sorts of problems.
