Title: Seriously - Is Romney mildly retarded?
Post by: WOOO on October 28, 2012, 05:31:27 PM

Romney is like the presidential candidate you'd see in a B-list movie.

Any of his 47% comments would have sunk any other presidential hopes.  A flipflopping zillionaire who flippantly offers to bet $10k with others during a debate?

it's almost a bad comedy that he's won the nomination - and he only did because he outspent the others, and capable and diginified statesmen like Jeb sat out the election.

The fact he's only trailing mildly is a testament to how much people hate Obama.  Some getbiggers have said they'd support jeffrey Dahmer over obama.

I voted for Obama (Oregon has mail in ballots), however I doubt Romney is retarded in anyway. In fact, he is probably pretty smart. Every President has different features. Bush Jr. was a terrible speaker, for example. Clinton had a problem with his moral behavior. The fact is Presidents are just people and people aren't perfect.

My wife and I lived in Williams Lake B.C. many years ago, during our hippie days. We had planned to homestead with another couple. We mostly enjoyed our short stay there, but returned to the U.S. because it was so difficult to find steady work. Most of the work was seasonal and very scarce.

I remember meeting this family, the Pinchbecks. They had nine children and lived in a two room cabin with no running water. They drove a brand new, expensive car. They were nice enough people, but not what I would think of as being particularly bright. Do Canadians still get paid for having children?

Perhaps we were the dumb Americans. We rented a small two bedroom house with running water and oil heat. Some of our new Canadian friends would come over for a visit and a shower, since they didn't have those facilities. Should we have turned them away?

Each morning, regardless of the weather or temperature, there would be many native Canadian Indians lying about in downtown Williams Lake parking lots. They were sleeping off the previous night's binge. Sometimes they would die from exposure, since it gets as cold as -40 degrees in the winter in Williams Lake.

Many of the children in Williams Lake had really bad teeth. When I asked about this, I was told that the government provides dentures so why bother taking care of your teeth.

Some folks who owned large parcels of land worried about losing it to the government because of the high inheritance tax there. Has this changed?

There was a lot of prejudice in Williams Lake, B.C. against East Indians who were significant part of the population there. They also owned many of the small businesses. It seemed like they were doing better than a lot of native Canadians.

Do you Canadians still say, "God save the Queen" as you did when we lived there?

In what way was Jimmy Carter dumb? He has an IQ of 156.8 or 176, depending on the resource for this information. Jimmy Carter, like President Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize.  Barack Obama graduated Magna Cum Laude from Harvard Law School; such academic honors are only awarded to students in the top 10% of their class. Most estimates put Barak Obama's IQ between 116-165.

It's impossible to know for sure exactly Mitt Romney's IQ. However, the estimation of his IQ is probably in the range of 130 to 139 IQ.  This is based this on the scientific study that correlates IQ on educational abilities and accomplishments. Mitt Romney has never been considered for the Nobel Peace Prize.

all of these presidents we have were "smart" by educational standards.

Some may lack common sense, moral compass, etc.   Some may be misguided in the ideological sense.

but any person who becomes president is smart, and shrewd.  They might be plain evil.  But smart?  Definitely.  Bush2 was brilliant, Obama is very smart, Mitt is extremely smart.  We're talking men with advanced degrees, who have moved up to the top of power in this country.

You're kidding about this, right? Despite what anyone's IQ tests at , it does not take away the incompetence of either unless what they are doing to this country is purposely intended. Both presidents are far away disasters at best. In regards to Obama graduating Magna Vu Laude, how, he never released any school transcripts dating back to high school, he entered Harvard and Columbia how? Nobel peace prize? For what? You know as well.as.I do its majority liberal. How can he even receive it without doing anything? All of the winners from.what I.can remember were liberals..

Firstly, I would greatly appreciate it if when you quote me you not alter what I originally wrote (If you wish to alter Obama's name, do it in your own post). This is yet another example of your lack of integrity.

Now to the meat of my reply.  No I am not kidding. The post I was responding to spoke only to intelligence and not other personality traits, such as commonsense and leadership skills. Intelligence is commonly measured by one's IQ.

You are right in that Obama has not released his school transcripts. However, the fact that he graduated from Harvard Magna Cum Laude' indicates that his GPA was very high.

The Nobel Peace Prize 2009 was awarded to Barack H. Obama "for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples".

If you have a problem with how the Noble Peace Prize recipient is determined take that up the committee who makes these awards. The committee responsible for selection consists of past Nobel Prize winners, academics, acclaimed authors, members of the academy and others.

Quote
No one can nominate him or herself for a Nobel Prize. In fact such nominations call for immediate disqualification for an award, at least in that year. Each body that determines winners for Nobel Prizes has their own discreet nomination and selection process.

You are certainly entitled to your opinion and to express that opinion as you wish, however what's with all the periods in your reply? Are you intentionally trying to make yourself look dumb?

Please do not speak of integrity, I'm not the one voting for an accomplice to murder. Now, we don't know how Obama graduated nor do we know of his grades nor can't they either not locate or they will not release his thesis, same with his wife. We do know he got in through affirmative action which does not require an abnormally high GPA. Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but what "extraordinary efforts" and since when do they give a one million dollar award based on "effort" especially since he hadn't been president for even 6mos?

•Obama's IQ has been estimated anywhere from 110-165. He is a graduate of Columbia University and Harvard Law School, where he served as editor, and later as president of the Harvard Law Review; which is an extremely prestigious position. Obama also taught at the University of Chicago for 12 years, a top-ranked university in the United States. However, these achievement-based estimates fail to account for the possibility that Obama was a beneficiary of affirmative action, which based on collegiate averages would lower his estimated IQ to the 115-120 range. [However, it should be noted that other than partisan claims, there is NO reliable evidence Obama was an affirmative action student, nor is there objective proof that his academic honors had anything to do with affirmative action.]

Obama's Nobel Prize money going to 10 charities
by Scott Wilson

Three months after receiving the Nobel Peace Prize, President Obama announced Thursday the charities that will benefit from his $1.4 million cash award.

In a statement issued by the White House, Obama said, "These organizations do extraordinary work in the United States and abroad helping students, veterans and countless others in need. I'm proud to support their work."

-Just wanted to make sure you didn't get away with misleading anyone with you outlandish insinuations. So yes the Nobel Peace Prize came with a $1.4 million cash award which President Obama gave away.

If you don't agree with the Nobel Prize committee's choices of recipients, that's your prerogative. However, I doubt you have the expertise or position to decide who should win a Nobel Prize and who should not. All you have is your opinion which is based on what? What or who you like or don't like? Brilliant!

While the cost of living may be higher in some parts of Canada then it is in the United States, the standard of living is not when measured by GDP (gross domestic product). GDP is the most common measure for a countries standard of living. As you will see from the graph I pasted below, Canada is doing well, second only to the U.S.

A higher standard of living means a higher quality and quantity of goods and services available to individuals and to society, contributing to material well-being. The gross domestic product per person (GDP per capita) is often used as a measure of the standard of living. An increase in GDP is associated with greater material well-being and thus with a higher standard of living.

My son, his wife and their children live in a small village in Bavaria, GR. Our son has lived there for over 25 years. His wife was born there as were our grandchildren. My aunt who is French and uncle live in La Fat, France, which is a small town several hours south of Paris. My cousin lives in Denmark and works for Green Peace.  Another cousin lives in Germany. All these relatives are doing quite well and have good lives. We visit our family fairly often. My relatives all do pretty well.

It is my experience that you are correct in that many Europeans travel more and enjoy longer holidays. My son and his family often go to Greece for vacation. Remember though, European countries are much smaller than the U.S. Traveling from one country to another is much like us traveling from one state to another. The long vacations (usually 30 days) are probably the result of their culture and these countries having more socialized governments then the U.S.  Bill Maher tackled the issue of paid vacation days, which is mandated by law in just about every other industrialized country.  Except ours.  Why is that?

Both men are educated and have achieved a lot in their lives so far.

As you will see from the photo of Williams Lake, it is beautiful country there. I suspect housing is a lot more expensive in some parts of Canada then it is some cities in the U.S. Hopefully, wages are keeping up with the high price of real estate there.

For example, my home is also 3,000 sq. ft. I live in West Linn, OR. where the median family income is $83,252.  49.7% of the workforce is in professional sector. The median home price is just under $600,000. My home is valued at right around $400,000 today. This is down about $150,000 from 2007 before the bottom fell out of the real estate market. By comparison, I suspect a similar property in Canada would be more expensive.

Everything you need to know about Canada’s housing ‘bubble’

Canada avoided many of the mistakes that the U.S. made in its housing market.
 
Banking regulations and lending standards have been much tighter, and that has prevented prices from getting completely out of control.
 
However, top economists including Robert Shiller and David Rosenberg are increasingly sounding alarms that the Canadian housing market is the next bubble and its about to burst.
 
Canadian home prices are up nearly 100% since 2000, according to Euro Pacific Capital. And there are other characteristics that do bear some striking resemblance to America’s housing boom-bust story. Moreover, this comes at a time when the nation’s economic outlook has become uncertain.
 
We put together a guide to Canada’s housing debacle on a national scale, and focused on Vancouver and Toronto in particular where homes have become increasingly unaffordable.

According to you ignorant leftists

Obama - JD Harvard - BRILLIANT

Romney - JD/MBA Harvard - MORON 


Is that right? 

Romney - Harvard cause his dad got him in due to being a powerful Governor/ powerful CEO

Obama- Went to 2 different schools before he was accepted.

Im not voting for either, but Romney is exactly what disgusts me with American politics.  A prive white kid born into wealth, best private schools casue daddy paid for it, given everything in life and wants to control everyone casue hes bored with his wealth.  And hes a fucking MORMON

The only reason why Obama got in was through affirmative action. You have to have a particularly high GPA through affirmative action even for Harvard.

Obama admitted he cant do math beyond 7th grade level.  He wont release his records and had ghost writers do all his work for him. 

Only a delusional brain dead choomer believes he is the brilliant messiah.

I keep thinking you are a troll with your inane comments, but there's to much conviction on your part to be just a troll. I don't know, something isn't quite right with you, are you disabled in any manner?

Quote
Barack Obama graduated Magna Cum Laude from Harvard Law School; such academic honors are only awarded to students in the top 10% of their class.

•Obama's IQ has been estimated anywhere from 110-165. He is a graduate of Columbia University and Harvard Law School, where he served as editor, and later as president of the Harvard Law Review; which is an extremely prestigious position. Obama also taught at the University of Chicago for 12 years, a top-ranked university in the United States. However, these achievement-based estimates fail to account for the possibility that Obama was a beneficiary of affirmative action, which based on collegiate averages would lower his estimated IQ to the 115-120 range. [However, it should be noted that other than partisan claims, there is NO reliable evidence Obama was an affirmative action student, nor is there objective proof that his academic honors had anything to do with affirmative action.]
