Consultants to the newspaper business (when it was a viable business) used to advise editors not to write their papers at anything over the 6th. grade level. To do so in their view would be going over the heads of their audience.
The New York Times is supposedly written at an 8th. grade level, and for that they pound their chests and crow about their literary prowess.
For the audience that Obama was trying to reach, “Pat the Bunny” might have been more appropriate.
Ok, so he wrote this speech, but did he write this e-mail sent right before his speech?
Im heading to Capitol Hill soon to deliver my third State of the Union address.
Before I go, I want to say thanks for everything youre doing.
Tonight, we set the tone for the year ahead. Im going to lay out in concrete terms the path we need to take as a country if we want an economy that works for everyone and rewards hard work and responsibility.
Im glad to know youll be standing with me up there.

Sorry—I posted too soon. To add— has any other president, ever, sent out a campaign e-mail before a SOTU speech!? This is beyond disgusting.
Way over the heads of his followers.
But that just lets the media do it’s job of interpreting it to mean whatever his followers desire.
I don’t know if others have noticed this, but Obama’s speaking voice has been changing over the years.
The first time I ever heard him speak (around 2003/04), and heard his deep voice tones and overall quality of his voice, I figured we were in trouble. It was just a great speaking voice.
Lately, however, he’s become what I guess I would call, strident. Not so much whiny (though it wouldn’t be hard to get to whiny from where he’s at now) but strident, insistent, more high-pitched, like, well, like someone not getting his way anymore.
It’s like he knows he can’t relax and bask in the glories of his accomplishments, but rather, that he’s beginning to realize his time to change the country is short, and that there’s a chance everything he’s tried to do, or has already done, might soon be undone.
So, if the current progression continues, I hope he’s whining like a baby in 2013/14 as he watches everything he worked for get reversed by a Republican House, Senate, President, and eventually, a conservative Supreme Court.
S---. I know s---'s bad right now, with all that starving bulls---, and the dust storms, and we are running out of french fries and burrito coverings. But I got a solution.
Wasn’t GWB ridiculed for having low-grade averages in his speeches? And so now it’s a virtue. Who knew?
The SOTU must have sounded pretty dang good to a moran.
So, I am surprised that his SOTU speech even scored at the eighth grade level. He destroys our language and talks like an uneducated six-year-old.
He doesn’t have a clue what’s on those teleprompters when he appears. Two parts of this speech were given before.
Reponse: No surprise here.
Well he is talking to his supporters and they are none too smart no matter what they tell each other....
I always get a kick out of Mussolini profile when he juts his jaw out. And they say Reagan was an actor!
A great comedy-and unfortunately, probably a portent of our future as a country.
