 According to statements in the report, there have been  twelve presidents over the past 50 years, from F. D.  Roosevelt to G. W. Bush who were all rated based on  scholarly achievements, writings that they alone produced  without aid of staff, their ability to speak with clarity,  and several other psychological factors which were then  scored in the Swanson/Crain system of
  intelligence ranking.
  The study determined the following IQs of each president as  accurate to within five percentage points:
 
  182 William J. Clinton (D)
  175 James E. Carter (D)
  174 John F. Kennedy (D)
  155 Richard M. Nixon (R)
  147 Franklin D. Roosevelt (D)
  132 Harry Truman (D)
  126 Lyndon B. Johnson (D)
  122 Dwight D. Eisenhower (R)
  121 Gerald Ford (R)
  105 Ronald Reagan (R)
  098 George HW Bush (R)
  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.
 
  No president other than Carter (D) has released his actual  IQ, 176.
 
  Among comments made concerning the specific testing of  President GW 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.
 
  "All the Presidents prior to George W. Bush had a least one  book under their belt, and most had written several white  papers during their education or early careers. Not so with  President Bush,"
  Dr. Lovenstein said. "He has no published works or writings,  so in many ways that made it more difficult to arrive at an  assessment. We had to rely more heavily on transcripts of  his unscripted public speaking."
 
  The Lovenstein Institute of Scranton Pennsylvania think tank  includes high caliber historians, psychiatrists,  sociologists, scientists in human behavior, and  psychologists. Among their ranks are Dr. Werner R.  Lovenstein, world-renowned sociologist, and Professor  Patricia F. Dilliams, a world-respected psychiatrist.

There have been plenty of world rulers in history who have  had a much higher I.Q. than Bush, who have done worse things  than he has. It's not saying much pointing out his IQ. You  have to point out his (and the administrations) mistakes and  lies. Tony Blair is a liar and a puppet, too.
