So "superior" he was 200 points below the average SAT for freshmen entering Yale with him. That's really special. My 17 year old daughter's SAT scores (even adjusted for the change in scale over the years) are way above Dubya's. What kind of "superior" does that make her?

Mensa has never used GPA or having a degree as qualification to join their society. They know that those measure are purely subjective. You could an MD and a dozen Ph D's and that wouldn't get you in. However, back in Obama's days in school, a high enough SAT or LSAT score would do the trick. In fact, you could be a high school drop out and get in if your LSAT score was high enough. Mensa does not accept SAT scores any more because of all the politics surrounding the test.

On the other hand, maybe McCain and Palin's educations are impressive to people with GED's and the like.
