You were quick to post Sarah Palin's SAT score, could you please locate Barack Obama's. And you can bet your bottom dollar that Obama had some sort of free ride on an affirmative action minority set aside program. I may be wrong but I doubt it.

And you do not have any idea of how or why he became editor of the Harvard paper or whatever he was. He may have been the only one who wanted it. My guess is that most of his other calssmates were there to get Law Degrees, and not work on newspapers, but that's just my uneducated guess. I remember all the liitle twits that worked on our school papers, not quite Presidential material.

As far as SAT scores and college degrees go, the whole reason this econmy is in the shape its in is because a LOT of people with great SATS have had their heads up their asses!

And I say that you are full of shit when you say that you took the SAT when you were 11, and scored over 841! What are you doing dicking around on craigslist, shouldn't you be out inventing something or coming up with a new Theory of Relativity. Idiot.

:rofl:

[yardwork]

"...most of his classmates were there to get law degrees and not work on newspapers...."

You can't make this up.

[wileedog]

1. Because Harvard Law Review = school newspaper

Classic.

I heard Obama helped with the Year Book too!

[asdjrocky]

27. Wasn't he on the Prom Committee?

Sure it's not the PTA, but at least it's something.

[beam me up scottie]

32. "Sure it's not the PTA"

:spray:
:rofl:

[KansasVoter]

2. LOL under that logic we should look for people with NO EXPERIENCE!

[Dr. Death]

9. Which is exactly what they did with Palin

[grace0418]

3. "that's just my uneducated guess." That's the only part he got right. Everything

else is bullshit, but he is clearly uneducated.

[mainer]

4. What WERE Palin's SAT scores? I never heard about that!

[beam me up scottie]

5. I don't know if they are legit, but here's the thread on it:

[aggiesal]

16. And because she received a ...

Grade D in Foreign Language, she now has foreign policy experience.

[beam me up scottie]

20. I'm guessing they didn't have a talent portion for contestants...

:D

[nilram]

13. had to hunt for it

841. Pretty average, if true.

http://www.clevelandleader.com/node/7221

[Lance_Boyle]

15. average for a special ed class, maybe

Wasn't 600 the base combined score for someone who signs their name correctly on the SAT, back when the max score was 1600?

[SoxFan]

33. Her scores are pretty average

The SAT people recalibrated sometime in the late 80s or early 90s (before they scrapped the old scoring system completely), so it can be tricky to make direct comparisons. All in all, her scores seem to be pretty middling.

Full disclosure: I took the SAT in 1984; 680 verbal (top 1%), and 530 math

[Lance_Boyle]

35. that's uncanny - we have the exact same scores

I took the SAT for the second and final time in '91. I think the restructuring took place in the mid or late 90s.

I could've sworn, though, that back under the old system, a combined 800 was bad.

[SoxFan]

36. The recalibration

All i know for sure was that it was sometime after 1985, when I graduated from high school. You could be right about it being in the mid 90s.

[jfkraus]

She's below average...

if you look at the percentiles she was in the 36th percentile for reading and 31st percentile for math-- overall 36th percentile. That means she scored better than only 36% of the people who took the test.

[GoesTo11]

48. They didn't recalibrate by that much.

Wikipedia has mean scores by year. It was 504 (verbal) and 493 (math).

[regnaD kciN]

43. No, that's 400...

...200 each in both verbal and math.

[Lance_Boyle]

46. gotcha. So Sarah got both her name AND the date right. ;-)

[nickgutierrez]

6. Really?

Anyone with an SAT score of over 841 should be able to come up with a new theory of relativity?

Wow.

I'd better get to work.

[theoldman]

7. I certainly would like to see Obama's SAT score.

My guess is that his IQ is 130 to 140. Compare this to Bush who is about 90 at best. While not everyone with a high IQ would be a good president, past history has shown that the dumb ones make bad presidents.

[beam me up scottie]

10. Are you maybe thinking IQ instead of SAT scores?

If so, I think Bush's 90 was before he killed off most of his brain cells with drugs and alcohol.

[rebel with a cause]

14. I think you meant that Obama probably got a 1300 or 1400.

with a 130/140 he could not have gotten into college, I don't think. ;)

[jberryhill]

8. "not work on newspapers" - LOL

Law review positions are highly prized at law schools.

Whatta maroon.

[Genevieve]

11. I have read that Obama's score was 1530. nt

[chatnoir]

12. I hope someone replies to this Freeptard

And you do not have any idea of how or why he became editor of the Harvard paper or whatever he was. He may have been the only one who wanted it.

Holy hell, how could anyone be so stupid and so arrogant at the same time?

[beam me up scottie]

19. There's a bunch of replies.

But I don't want to post them here, their rnr forum makes our GDP look like Disneyland.

Here's the link: http://phoenix.craigslist.org/cph/rnr/

[KSDiva]

42. I HADTO post this Freep'd up one though!

"You think learning to fly fighter jets is a no brainer, Mr A Hole?"

No you stupid candy-ass, I think crashing them is a no brainer.

[beam me up scottie]

49. I SAW THAT ONE!

:rofl:

[azmouse]

17. To use the phrase of the day...

Dumb as a post. Really.

[RoadRage]

18. Yea.. a 2.1 GPA gets you right into Harvard Law School.. IDIOT.

Seriously - what the hell are these people on? It's like the make delusions just to comfort themselves.. at least they know the end is near, and they're on the losing side of it. :)

[beam me up scottie]

21. Yep. Every time a black person succeeds in life, it's because of "affirmative action".

And every time a woman gets promoted, it's because she slept with her superiors.

Of course, those stereotypes only apply to liberal blacks and women, they have never questioned Palin's road to stardom, have they?;)

[asdjrocky]

22. Yeah, um....

"And you do not have any idea of how or why he became editor of the Harvard paper or whatever he was."

I might be wrong but isn't it called the Harvard Law Review, or something like that. It's a bit bigger thing than the average college paper.

[TornadoTN]

23. More of Palin's "Hate the Smart" agenda rearing its ugly head

Putin, of course, rears his head over Alaska, but this is just another instance of her "SMALL TOWNS ARE SUPERIOR! YEE HAWWW!!!" mentality - it's the GOP's calling card. Hate the city-folk, hate anyone with an education, and hate anyone that has more than you.

[beam me up scottie]

29. "I remember all the liitle twits that worked on our school papers, not quite Presidential material."

Of course their current VP candidate IS presidential material. :crazy:

[gmoney]

39. Any idea if Palin was on yearbook or the school paper?

I knew a lot of the cheerleader types in my HS were on yearbook and the paper just so they could fill them with pictures of themselves and their friends.

[beam me up scottie]

41. Was she even a cheerleader?

If those SAT scores are legit she certainly had something other than book lernin' on her mind...

[BrklynLiberal]

24. Their ignorance would be funny if it were not so horrifying.

Instead of admiring and respecting intelligence, they abhor and decry it. They are out there rallying for ignorance and stubborn stupidity. Willful ignorance = EVIL.

[beam me up scottie]

28. This is a member of the angry mob.

McPalin certainly know how to inspire their fan base.

[dancingme]

25. What he doesn't know about law school and law review

could fill the Denver stadium where Obama gave his acceptance speech.

[complain jane]

26. God damn that there librul book learnin'

[zbdent]

30. "... editor of the Harvard paper or whatever he was" ...

and he says "YOU don't know" what Obama was? When the poster can't remember what Obama was?

Geez, that's a real gem there ...

[anonymous171]

31. When Obama applied for college he did not indicate his race

[XemaSab]

38. Not to be cynical

but with the name "Barack Obama" he's probably not a white kid from the 'burbs.

(And for any lurking FReepers: The "affirmative action" argument is bullshit. Was Condi made provost of Stanford due to AA? Was Colin Powell made a general due to AA? I rest my case...)

[onenote]

34. I completely and wholeheartedly agree with the author

He (the author) most certainly is "uneducated"

[gmoney]

37. Harvard is known for its legions of non-competitive underachievers

I bet nobody else wanted to even DO the stupid "Law Review" -- isn't that some sort of skit pageant where football players dress as cheerleaders and stuff?

[beam me up scottie]

50. Yeah, besides, Obama only went to ONE college, look how many Sarah attended!

Oh my gawd I'm starting to think like them...

[Joanne98]

40. LOL

[Johonny]

44. in general

intelligence tests were design to find people with learning problems. High scores on these tests have been reified to be something called intelligence. There is no good evidence that intelligence is something that is a scalar that can be reduced to a single unchanging number. I would suggest Palin's lack luster SAT score (less than 800 I believe a sign of true problems) and lack luster college record tell you the story of a person not particularly interested in education.

[Stargazer09]

45. Sounds like jealousy to me

"As far as SAT scores and college degrees go, the whole reason this econmy is in the shape its in is because a LOT of people with great SATS have had their heads up their asses!"

Somebody must have gotten a low SAT score and wants to belittle the people who did better.

[karynnj]

47. What an idiot

I don't think those are Palin's scores, but the crack that Obama was an affirmative action candidate and no one else wanted to be the editor of the Harvard Review is amazing. As to an 11 year old doing that well, many smart middle school kids take them and do far better.
