Found this the other day. Click on (yikes!) She-Thing to look.
(Gotta disagree with Man-Thing, though. He was never a superhero; his main purpose was to allow Steve Gerber to write some funky comic/head trip…)
Obama speaks at an eighth-grade level

Check this out! For all the hosannas from the (now reduced number) of Obamabots and members of the media about how the State of the Union address was sooooo great, because it is soooo nice to have a President who can speak well…. it turns out that Obama speaks at the lowest grade level of all postwar Presidents. (… with the exception of Bush senior… and that’s a close one!)
W Bush, as with many things, was rated at the low end of mediocre, but still two grade levels above Barry.
Apparently, the metric involves sentence length and word size. Kinda like Presidential Scrabble or something.
Check it out.
