Murali came up with this, from the Russians....http://english.pravda.ru/main/2001/08/07/11985.html...... Pravda.RU:Main:More in detail 18:06 2001-08-07 BUSH’S IQ INFERIOR TO AVERAGE MAN’S Among US presidents who have run the country over the last 50 years, George W. Bush appears to have the lowest Intelligence Quotient (IQ). His IQ has proved lower than that of the average American citizen. According to the British press, the finding has been obtained by researchers from the State of Pennsylvania. Mr. Bush’s IQ makes up as little as 91 points, which is exactly half of his immediate predecessor Bill Clinton’s IQ (182 points). By the way, Mr. Clinton takes 1st place in the US president list by this parameter. Interestingly, Democrats prevail on the list. In calculating the IQ, the scientists analyzed the following indices: academic performance in school and college, independently (without anybody’s assistance) prepared publications, speech lucidity, and psychological parameters. The mean IQ value of man varies within the range of 100 points. Apart from George W. Bush, this level has not been exceeded by only one ex-president, his father, Mr. Bush Sr. Below are IQs of 12 US presidents, starting from 1945. Bill Clinton – 182, Jimmy Carter- 175, John F. Kennedy – 174, Richard Nixon- 155, Franklin D. Roosevelt – 147, Harry S. Truman – 132, Lyndon B. Johnson- 126, Dwight D. Eisenhower – 122, Gerald Ford – 121, Ronald Reagan – 105, George Bush – 98.

I was thinking that six months into the Bush term the markets are down. Wasn't he supposed to be good for business? I wonder when he'll be man enough to stop blaming dems and start taking some responsibility for the world economic problems. G8 could have been a start but his world leadership was tested and failed on these issues. For all the scolding Clinton took with respect to opec I would have expected something more than silence from W. His energy policies, although lacking in many respects imo, may have some positive impact in the long run, but as Keynes said in the long run we are all dead.
