In conversation and in classes I tend to demean the American people. You don't have to be around me for too long to get the impression that I firmly believe America is too dumb for democracy, our educational system is successful only at dumbing down the sheeple, and the future is only getting darker.
Here we can see evidence that I am right:
Oil Spill Speech Missed Target Audience
Yes, the analysis says that the speech was appropriate for a 9.8 grade level which is high school freshman. You see words that average 4.5 letters are too long for the audience to comprehend. The grand rhetorician typically speaks at the 7th grade level to connect with his minions. Isn't that what I've been saying? If you are smarter than a 7th grader you wouldn't be a Bamster supporter.
Let me offer one critique for the speech analysis professor. The audience for a presidential oval office televised speech isn't seventh or ninth grade. Those folks are watching reruns of Cops to learn proper questioning responses when arrested on drug charges. They are probably out on the street corners discussing whether to smoke up, score some crack or steal a car for the evening.
People who watch presidential speechs on oil spills tend to be a more educated audience such as your media reporters or speech analysis professors. Ooops, caught! I see your point. Never mind.
