Dumbama’s State Of the Union Speech 4th Most Childish Since Analysis Began

President Obama Delivers State Of The Union Address

Obama’s Flesch-Kincaid grade level score of 8.8 for his first State of the Union Address was the fourth lowest score since FDR’s first Address in 1934.
What this means is that Obama wrote and delivered a speech that incorporated shorter sentences, with those sentences containing shorter words, than nearly every such Presidential Address in the modern era.

President Bush generally spoke at nearly two grade levels above Obama.
To be fair to Obama’s teleprompter. It knows that Obama has a tough time with hard words and that Obama’s supporters have an even tougher time understanding.
Still, I’m sure the speech was above the head of most of the people in that room.

There should be a law prohibiting negative comments about our president.

Ever hear of a little thing we conservatives like to call the First Amendment?

Even Hannity agrees.

Yeah. Right!

“reality” has more than two syllables. Must be why he has so much trouble with it!

Yep, I knew he was talking right to boob with his baby talk.

Hey, boob! I got your “Lincolnesque” for you right here!

As far as the speech is concerned, all I heard was a lot of whining that he can’t mandate his agenda, even though he has the Executive and the Legislative Branch under his control.
I guess he hates our representative Republic.

Any larger than .50 cal and they tend to buck in your hand a might!
robert108

Yeah, the kind of “dirt” that comes out of his lying mouth.
http://SayAnythingBlog.com The_Whistler_ofnd

So then who translated it for Boob to get it down to his level?
http://SayAnythingBlog.com The_Whistler_ofnd

And leftist morons don’t think we can criticize them without
prohibiting their actions.
AKA WOOF

With every speech he shovels dirt on con faces .

Use a big enough bullet and it doesn’t matter.

Nutter elites hate a plain spoken man who speaks The Truth.

I understand that Obama was autographing a “pop up” version of his speech as he left the building.
robert108

You lie, Os! The Dixie Chicks were smacked by free people making free choices not to patronize their crap. They were never “banned”. Hannity doesn’t agree with you, either. Another lie.
http://SayAnythingBlog.com The_Whistler_ofnd

He definitely needs to drop any multi-syllabic words and use pictures.
http://SayAnythingBlog.com The_Whistler_ofnd

Well it helps if the warhead has a earth shattering kaboom.

What statement of mine do you think you are bashing, Kenny? What you said makes no sense to me.
sayanything-3035

there is law like you want in IRAN….move there at once and enjoy the fascists regime up close and personal Osweirdo

“He definitely needs to drop any multi-syllabic words and use pictures.”

Exactly. For his conservative audience.
http://SayAnythingBlog.com The_Whistler_ofnd

Notice how Boob only managed to put in one genuine word with two syllables?
sayanything-130

There should be a law prohibiting negative comments about our president. Even Hannity agrees. Remember how he blasted the Dixie Chicks.
robert108

It’s not only the lefties who think that way. Just try criticizing pot smoking around here and see what is said about you.
sayanything-5371

The new guy is Lincolnesque.

Ah…..No, mademoiselle boob, it’s Carteresque. Even more so than Carter.
http://proof-proofpositive.blogspot.com/ proof_positive

It’s on my wish list. If I’m going to mock these liberals, I’d like to do it as professionally as possible!
http://proof-proofpositive.blogspot.com/ proof_positive

More of a “gripper” than a “clinger”. Just clinging to your guns doesn’t give you a tight group.
http://SayAnythingBlog.com The_Whistler_ofnd

You sound like a clinger proof.

Nutter elites hate a plain spoken man who speaks The Truth.

So, just think how much more they would hate the lying, teleprompter reading Obama!
btw, realitybereftboob: You provide no evidence of your lame *ss assertion. Did you cut and paste it from the same talking points that told you 1993 was in the 19th century?

I know you are but what am I?

“Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.”

Marxist liar rbb: “Created equal” doesn’t mean “equal outcomes”. It means “equal opportunity”, which includes success, failure, and all gradations between those two.
Sorry you don’t know that.
sayanything-2407

As we know, Barack Obama cannot speak to children without a teleprompter while George W. Bush can speak to adult businessmen and politicians without a prepared statement.

Actually Suite that is incorrect. You can see it Here.

Obama used the teleprompters in addressing the press not the 6th graders.
This has proven to be false and should stop being used as a way to bash the President.

This is dumb even for a lefty! First off Way off subject and to paraphrase one of your own inbred, Woody Allen said, In America we have free speech which means you can say anything you want. We will protect that right and then take you out back an beat the sh!t out of you. Which is what happened to the Dixie Chicks, and Hannity. They said something publicly and were judged by the public cash register.
sayanything-1321

I consider every post Whistler has posted on this blog childish and self serving. So what does it matter what one lamebrained conservative has to say?!

Wonder if he had to paste it twice?
sayanything-3035

The speech musta worked ’cause un-Reality boob understood every word…so there.

Obama is Lincolnesque!
Lincoln Hayes was a very valuable member of the Mod Squad!
farm4money

RBB SAID…”The new guy is Lincolnesque.” LINCOLN never told a lie, Obummer has never told the truth. When if comes to bummer, maybe Nixonesque … Clintonesque … realitybasedbobesque … wait, Nixon and Clinton don’t hold a candle to the other two.

He probably had to have his speech pre-approved by the NEA so it wouldn’t appear that he was being condescending to the ignorant masses, which he was anyway.
sayanything-51

The new guy is Lincolnesque.

We are blessed to have him as our President.

“There should be a law prohibiting negative comments about our president.”

I believe that the Nazis had such a law but then they were socialists too.
sayanything-316

He could have saved a lot of time by just summarizing his speech as follows:

- (to the Republicans) Quit resisting my slo-mo Communist coup and destruction of America;

- (to the SCOTUS) you guys are poopy-heads and are wrong and I’ll make my point by lying about what you did;

- I’m great, but I’m not a Communist;

- By spending the US into oblivion, I really saved it from an even worse fate (recovery) and

- I’m great and you guys are trash.

That’s not even remotely the same thing Robert, and you know it.

Told you, third grade level.
sayanything-8767

O’s dumbed-down discourse reflects his total contempt for the people of the U.S. That we do not immediately perceive the absolute shining truth of his every utterance means that we cannot understand anything that is not put into the simplest of terms. He will soon figure out that even the greatest simplification doesn’t work, and then force will just have to be the final answer.
sayanything-1317

Free speech means that if you say something stupid you’re going to hear other people criticize you. It’s not a one way street. It shows a level of arrogance that people think they can say whatever they want without criticism. They want their freedom of speech, and to deny it to everyone else.

Much like freedom of religion, the left try to interpret freedom of speech as “Freedom from others speech.”
sayanything-6955

He needs to go down a few more grade levels I think, GOPLESS and LOCKJAW are still having trouble. Perhaps grade school level?
sayanything-4808

“Actually Suite that is incorrect. You can see it Here.

I said children. They are different from the news media how?
sayanything-4808

Okay, for the sake of the liberal trolls here and their permanent need for constant education…

I used the Bliss copy of the Gettysburg address as seen at:

http://showcase.netins.net/web/creative/lincoln…

and I used the Flesh app to check the Flesch-Kinkaid rating of that speech:

http://flesh.sourceforge.net/

The result was:

Flesch-Kinkaid Grade Level: 11.8

Flesch Reading Ease Level: 63.20

Which means that Obama’s speech was three full grade levels below that of Lincoln, which leaves George W. Bush still closer to Lincoln’s level of speaking.

Now then, to head off the trolls, we know that modern presidents have speech writers. The speeches George W. Bush gave were higher in grade level than Barack Obama’s and thus the speeches on which liberal leftists proclaimed Bush dumb, were actually smarter speeches than those written for Barack Obama.

This then says clearly that George W. Bush was more competent at selecting speech writers than Barack Obama.

Thank you for playing, don’t let the door hit you in the backside on the way out.

EDIT: I almost forgot. This also means that George W. Bush’s speech writers were closer in education and ability to Abraham Lincoln who wrote his address himself.

As we know, Barack Obama cannot speak to children without a teleprompter while George W. Bush can speak to adult businessmen and politicians without a prepared statement.

There you go kids. Have fun.

For giggles, I put one of my old blog posts through and got a grade of 16.96 and a level of 38.73.

He was just accommodating the average comprehension level of his constituency.
