Post by: BohemianMonk on June 17, 2010, 10:14:23 AM
Here we go again! I was updating my blog and came across this story. According to CNN were all to stupid to understand Obama's speech on the gulf, that's why it didn't go over well.

Language guru: Obama speech too 'professorial' for his target audience (http://www.cnn.com/2010/POLITICS/06/16/obama.speech.analysis/)

President Obama's speech on the gulf oil disaster may have gone over the heads of many in his audience, according to an analysis of the 18-minute talk released Wednesday.

Tuesday night's speech from the Oval Office of the White House was written to a 9.8 grade level, said Paul J.J. Payack, president of Global Language Monitor. The Austin, Texas-based company analyzes and catalogues trends in word usage and word choice and their impact on culture.

Though the president used slightly less than four sentences per paragraph, his 19.8 words per sentence "added some difficulty for his target audience," Payack said

I didn't see the speech, so I can't react to it. (Seeing Lord Zero do anything on the tube makes me nauseous, so I don't.)

But I think there's something fundamentally wrong when the president's speechwriters have to dumb down the speech so that people can understand it.

Good God. Let's dumb down the BP beratement so that everybody understands how unhappy Lord Zero is with 'em.

Asshat.

Well, since I'm not going to say the other word, I'll just use the other common phrase:

"Bitch, PLEASE."
