How is Obama getting so smart?

On the Yahoo! main page there is often an advertisement for a site where you can go and take an IQ test. This ad features a celebrity (Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, Nicole Richie, Robert Pattinson, Barack Obama) and gives that individual's IQ along with an invitation for you to take the test.

During the primaries, Obama was featured in these ads, which proclaimed his IQ to be 112. When he won the primary, his IQ reported in the ad was 117. A few weeks later as the campaigning escalated, Obama's IQ went up to 122 and then to 125. When he won the election, his IQ increased further to 130.

I see today that it's up to 132! He's been president for less than two months and he's practically become a genius in that short time!

This is amazing. How is Obama getting so smart? Smart pills? More Omega-3 fatty acids in his diet? Cutting back on the weed? Should he not share the secrets of his increased brain power?

    That is funny. So busted! I still like when Mike Beschloss went on the Don Imus show and said Obama's IQ was off the charts and that he was probably the smartest guy to ever be president. Then he said he didn't know what Obama's IQ was. LOL

    What a clown. That's like saying your sports team probably has the best record ever. Well what's their record? "I don't know".....lol

    I think the people who are doing the Ads and raising Obama's IQ, are doing it because now everybody KNOWS Obama probably only has a 95-105 IQ and they KNOW they could probably beat him in an IQ test.

    He's just done the test so many times he's memorized the answers. He knows people are watching that advertisement religiously. Plus he wanted to beat Bush's score...

    He is funding the agency who does iq tests. Every billion funded will increase his personal iq by 1 point you see.

    Just like Polls and Obama himself. A misrepresentation of the truth

    you do realize that is an advertisement and some marketing geek just randomly sticks those numbers in there, don't you???? you guys seem to be really be stretching things just in order to bash Obama. Ironically, you love the term BDS....

    Those ads are run by people who have no idea what they're talking about, and the IQ test is crap anyway. It's impossible to measure someone's potential for knowledge.

    He's just your run-of-the-mill two-faced politician. Say anything, promise everything, honor nothing. I for one expected nothing less.

    You never know if those ads are really that accurate. And if they are, there are different tests so he may be doing better on some than on others.
