He got to the highest office in the land, so he couldn't be that dumb.
Maybe the American people are the dummies for voting him into office.
He--with his C average and mediocre high school record (who cares about high school records after undergrad, anyway)-- was pretty brilliant to pull it all off!
Well, he had several advantages that need to be given as much credit as the supposed brilliance. Legacy status at Yale and a dad who was President.

So where did all his jeopardy skill and success lead? Other game show appearances? Impressive. And then Ken Jennings lost to a computer in the IBM challenge. Trivia it seems is easily stored and recalled by machines these days.
For those so you who think Jeopardy is the ultimate test of intellectual ability, top schools are probably not the place for you.
THANK YOU!!!
The Harvard girl may not be quick on the buzzer or recall but I bet she could analyze, manuever her way through any "maze" thrown at her.

The Ivies are not about changing the world, but reinforcing the establishment.

Doing well on Jeopardy is probably inversely correlated with success in life, so not a big surprise here.
This applies to me. I've qualified several times (never called to be on, though, bummer) and am kind of a slug.

You weren't good or smart enough to get into an ivy. Okay, accept that. It just is what it is. But to be jealous of those who had what it takes?
No wonder the Universe kept you out of that elite group. You're obviously not mentally or emotionally equipped for it, even now.
Yup. The jealousy is obvious to the rest of us, and I'm not even a Harvard or Yale grad myself.

I laughed my ass off when the Yale fencer lost to the community college student at the Olympics a few years ago. She was sure she was going to win, just because she went to Yale.
That's so cool how you can tell exactly what people are thinking and feeling without them saying a word. You must be magical.
Exactly! IVY ENVY.
The woman was probably too focused on trying to win the competition to be thinking about where either of them went to school.
