State of the Union registers at 8th grade reading level

[grunt11b]

Is that not a good thing?

There are drop-outs in our society that can not read at a grade level past 8th grade!

Another example of why they should not be voting.

Hope and change!!??

It's the same old speech he gives every year...

Except it's actually getting dumber, lol.

This is a bunch of babbling about nothing. Obama is successful at expressing himself in clear and easily understandable terms. It's laughable that this is elitism on Obama's part. I find it more elitist to be intentionally loquacious.

The dumbest speech since 1934.

And the left thinks it's a good thing. Yay.

Obama thinks the American people are idiots.

Or he's an idiot himself.

"
President Obama's 2012 State of the Union address again rated at an 8th grade comprehension level on the Flesch-Kincaid readability test — the third lowest score of any State of the Union address since 1934.
The University of Minnesota's Smart Politics conducted an analysis on the last 70 State of the Union addresses and found that President Obama's three addresses have the lowest grade average of any modern president. "Obama's average grade-level score of 8.4 is more than two grades lower than the 10.7 grade average for the other 67 addresses written by his 12 predecessors," they conclude."

And U.S. News has been geared to the 6th grade level for decades. So....your point is?

The liberal media. Again, they know their base.
