Do people REALLY believe the story about President Bush's IQ?

Question

If so, check this out:

It's okay to joke about him, I'm not saying it's unpatriotic at ALL. But when people attack him based on false information, it's wrong. Attack him with FACTS, people, not lies!

That's why I added the link. Snopes verdict? FALSE!

As for the "nucular" pronunciation instead of "nuclear", that has nothing to do with intelligence. It's a matter of accent. Lots of people in the Midwest and the South pronounce it that way.

Answer 1

FROM: http://www.slate.com/id/2071155/

"Bush isn't the only American president to lose the "nucular" war. In his "On Language" column in the New York Times Magazine in May 2001, William Safire lamented that, besides Bush, at least three other presidents—Eisenhower, Carter, and Clinton—have mangled the word."

Note my husband also pronounces it that way and his IQ is in the top 1 percentile of the population. He is extremely gifted in math,business and mechanical engineering. It drives me crazy but I just let it slide.

Answer 2

Here are the ranks of different IQ scores from one of the intelligence scales:

90 thru 110 is Average. Most people fall into this range.
111 thru 130 is Superior.
131 or higher to get into Mensa.
51 thru 75 is Moron.
26 thru 50 is Idiot.
25 and below is Imbecile.

Note: Mental Health Professionals don't use the terms Moron, Idiot, Imbecile anymore. They're seen as derogatory and politically incorrect.

Answer 3

Liberals and democrats don't argue using FACTS... their main tactic is a smear campaign that is comprised of lies, half-truths and total bullshit.

If liberals used the facts they acknowledge Bush recovered the economy after 9/11. Despite rising prices the economy has averted a recession or out of control inflation. And although creating a federal deficit, unemployment is at one of the lowest points since Reagan was in office.

He has more points going for him to run for another four years, than FDR did. And those my friend are all facts.

Answer 4

I am a demo crate for life and I have no idea about the story of IQ and may be people are making fun of him.By the way do you get the story from a chat room?

Answer 5

Well said! The Liberals are so desperate for power they will resort to anything and say anything to get back in power. However, the truth will always prevail!

Answer 6

bush has a speech impediment and has overcome it with great success but libs enjoy picking on people.

Answer 7

Political Parties serve no purpose it is dividing our country and destroying our, what we like to call, "Society". Our society is based on the division of people and the views. Instead we should be united and eliminate the use of parties. Work together and unite. Unfortunately, my views will only be seen and respected in the perfect world. Speaking of respect for views i also feel that younger beings such as myself who have strong views on this issue and many more should have a say in the election. There should be an aptitude test which will determine if the person has the views and enough knowledge to partake in voting for the core of our society, our President. Yes this is not relvant but i feel that i deserve the points.

Answer 8

you know....its interesting to note...when people put others down or highlight thier mistakes, its almost always to take the focus off of thier own insecurities, to help them feel better about themselves. so low dont you think.

Answer 9

Yes, I really do believe that bush is the Least smartest president in the last 50 years because Why does he say nuclu-le-ar instead of just Nuclear?

Answer 10

Even if he has an IQ of 200, he's still an effin' idiot, fool, moron, and a throwback to the caveman days. I live in Texas and have travelled extensively throughout the South and I've only heard one other person say nuke-you-lar ---and it turned out that person was a Northern transplant!!
If common sense was dynamite, Bush wouldn't have enough to blow himself up - if you had had the misfortune of living in Texas during his regime as governor, you'd know what I mean! The man hasn't got a lick of common sense - without a doubt, he's the sorriest excuse of a human being to ever occupy the Oval Office.
