"My Message is Simple": Obama's SOTU Written at 8th Grade Level for Third Straight Year

With three addresses under his belt, President Obama has the lowest average Flesch-Kincaid score for State of the Union addresses of any modern president. Obama's average grade-level score of 8.4 is more than two grades lower than the 11.1 grade average for the other 67 addresses written by his 12 predecessors.

Heard this discussed on Patriot Radio this morning. Here's the full story:

He also stole a lot of Bush's 07 SOTU address

Well, that's Bush's fault for sticking his speech in his wallet.

Didn't watch, but heard he was pushing hard for Natural Gas and Extraction of it, so that's a positive at least for me and my industry.

Wants to raise minimum wage to $10.10.

If you think about this for more than 20 seconds you realize how it would fuck everyone, ESPECIALLY THE MINIMUM WAGE WORKERS

I think he said the $10.10 wage for workers that are laborers for contractors working for the Government, I could be wrong. That is what I heard.

What say you?

That is what he said because that's all he has the power to do
