10 Ways Obama is Dumbing Down His Speeches

A new study shows that while President Bush routinely gave his speeches at a 10th grade comprehension level, President Obama has given speeches on at least three college campuses in which he orated at a 6th grade level.

Ya know, I thought I’d noticed some peculiar stuff lately, like:
______________

2009: “undocumented workers”
2012: “Mexi-friends!”

1) Turning the teleprompter toward the audience so they can see the pictures.

2) Changing the “applause” sign to “clap – the hand kind, not the free-clinic kind”

3) In the new edition of “Dreams From My Father”, that lately-infamous passage now reads, “I make bite-bite on woof-woof.”

4) When was the last time you saw Obama give a speech without a crowd of googly-eyed muppets crowding around him, singing the last line he just spoke?

5) That Earth Day speech where he kept repeating “Brawndo’s got what plants crave. It’s got electrolytes.

6) Adding another food group to the ChooseMyPlate.Gov icon labeled “Gerber”.

7) Letting Joe Biden speak in public again.

8) Jingling his keys in the air to call press conferences to order.

9) Tickling the TV cameras under the lens while saying “cootchie-coo!”

10) And probably the most egregious example was from just this week: “When a Secret Service agent and a Colombian hooker love each other very much…”

  1. When the audience seems to be drifting off, he’s begun pulling out a laser pointer to amuse them.

    DamnCat, I realize that you may not see why that’s bad, but to humans watching the little dot isn’t really that fun.

  2. Coldguy, if you want a movie that covers the current situation in this country I suggest you watch Americathon. It was made in 1979, and is suppose to take place in the then future of 1998. It does a rather good job of predicting the future USA as being led by an ineffectual president, the nation broke and in debt, with a falling standard of living and gas prices so high no one can afford to drive anymore. Unlike our current situation this movie is a comedy. It’s on YouTube in seven parts, here is part one, enjoy……………………

  3. I think to stimulate the economy in my household, my toddler should make Obama’s and Biden’s speeches and get paid for it. He would make more sense and the drool could always be removed from the TelePrompter with a wipie.
