The study determined the following IQs of each president as accurate to within five percentage points:
147 Franklin D. Roosevelt (D)
132 Harry Truman (D)
122 Dwight D. Eisenhower (R)
174 John F. Kennedy (D)
126 Lyndon B. Johnson (D)
155 Richard M. Nixon (R)
121 Gerald Ford (R)
175 James E. Carter (D)
105 Ronald Reagan (R)
098 George HW Bush (R)
182 William J. Clinton (D)
091 George W. Bush (R)
The six Republican presidents of the past 50 years had an average IQ of 115.5, with President Nixon having the highest IQ, at 155.
President G. W. Bush was rated the lowest of all the Republicans with an IQ of 91. The six Democrat presidents had IQs with an average of 156, with President Clinton having the highest IQ, at 182. President Lyndon B. Johnson was rated the lowest of all the Democrats with an IQ of 126. Among comments made concerning the specific testing of President G. W. Bush, his low ratings were due to his apparent difficulty to command the English language in public statements, his limited use of vocabulary (6,500 words for Bush versus an average of 11,000 words for other presidents), his lack of scholarly achievements other than a basic MBA, and an absence of any body of work which could be studied on an intellectual basis. The complete report documents the methods and procedures used to arrive at these ratings, including depth of sentence structure and voice stress confidence analysis.

This is a good question, although it's been asked before. I think Bush is not only a poor speaker, but he also wears an earpiece and speaks with prompting in his ear. Many of the examples below concern appearaces from two years ago, but he still hesitates at odd places, and sometimes he still says things like "stop it" and "hold on" apparently to no one while he is trying to speak.
If you run a search under "bush wired' you will find additional theory and pictures.

Bush is a accomplished orator. His vernacular and mannerisms are intended to match the level of the American Jerry Springer watching Masses.

You'd think Clinton would have needed it to be slower from all the 'non-inhaling' he did, while Bush would be more comfortable bending over the podium for some nose candy and reading like a madman.
He's the poster boy for a drug free America.

Having my lunch and watching this fool on BBC News 24 answering questions at Camp David. But soon did i feel the urge to throw a chicken drumstick at this monkey or excuse of being human. He's so irritating.
What a ****!!!

He cannot give a speech because none of his speeches come from an original thought. It's like giving a 5 year old a piece of paper and telling them to read it in front of a group of people. I like watching him make a fool of himself, I love knowing that he cannot serve (or steal) another term in office.

Bush is not an intelligent man. He was voted into office by an electorate of unintelligent people. He is a chimp who was elected by an electorate of chimps. He is an embarrassment to the country and to the English language.

It's not easy getting in front of a camera and speaking to millions of people. And with thousands of hours of footage, there's not that many total gaffs.
Say what you want about Bush, and I've said plenty. But he's not that bad a speaker. He knows how to connect to his audience, and he knows how the get across the point he's trying to make.
While I can't agree with most of what he says, I can't fault him for doing a fairly reasonable job in saying it.
