Harvard-educated historian says Obama “grammatically challenged”

Harvard-educated historian says Obama “grammatically challenged.” Seen on our milk carton this morning: “Missing – evidence of Obama’s superior intellect, since AT LEAST 2008.” And in other news, Janeane Garofalo says grammar is for raaaaacists.

  • they reviewed it and said he spoke at an 8th grade level. It was his sentence structure & word choice that put him so low. He speaks in incredibly short sentences with small words. That’s the bottom line.

    That's probably because he's trying to hold the attention of his key demographic, the libtards, illiterates and recipients that put him in office. If he speaks over their heads, he'll lose their vote next time around. He doesn't care about holding the attention of the intelligent, because if they spend too much time listening to him, they'll see his BS for what it is and call him on it.

    • I notice Nurse Ratchet has no response to your straightforward and plain truth argument...Stand by she'll be back as Tyrone with a cut and past post in a few minutes.....At this point she's like Linda Blair in the exorcist, head spinning spitting out pea soup and cussing up a storm...Pssst that's a libturds version of civility...hehe

        No, that's your overactive imagination (no doubt helped out by a burst of cheap ethanol), Silent. In fact, I'm still waiting for you to specify why you think my remark about Cain was racist, and which race you think I was demeaning. ;)

        Of course, you don't have an answer----just the same tired old childish insults.

      • Naw- she don't never respond to truth......if she does, I'm sure it'll be somethin like:

        "Nonesense poopajoe, you righties just can't stop parroting Rush and your right wing media outlets"

        Then there'll be a big wooooosh and the broom flies off into the sunset.

  • There is a group that judges every State of the Union speech and after The Jump Shooter in Chief gave his they reviewed it and said he spoke at an 8th grade level.

    This guy is Affirmative Action all rolled up into one "lovable" Demmunist who hates what made America the greatest country the earth has ever seen. Three cheers for the idiots in the media for perpetuating the "Obama Myth"

    Here is an article explaining that rating.....

      Psssst, that's par for the course today. Not because the president is incapable of speaking at a more complex level, but because too many Americans lack the education and self-discipline to be able to comprehend it if he did?

      You guys are so funny when you're desperate.

        Well, at least for Obama's target audience it's true.

      • good to see the broom is back out of the shop there miss high britches! Maybe the dumbin down of the educational system has something to do do with your theory?

    • Nearly all political speeches are aimed at about a 6-8th grade level. Intentionally. They are afraid if they come across too "smart" they will alienate voters. So they speak to the lowest common denominator. God forbid we might encourage people to reach higher.

  • You have to give Old Bumbles some credit. He has the use of the word "I" down pat - he manages to use it over a hundred times in every speech.

      Which means absolutely nothing, unless you consider the context of the speech. But, hey, it makes a dandy talking point, right?

      • There is no I in team. And since the American government runs as a team of sorts, he alone can do nothing, and HAS done nothing. He couldn't even get anything done when he had the Congress locked solid behind him. Face it; he is a failure, and way too involved with himself to be good at what he is supposed to be doing. It is about US the people of America. Not all about him as an individual. That give you some context?

  • 1. Harvard-educated historian is a RACIST!!!!!1111!!!eleventy

    2. Being "grammatically challenged" is just another sign of super genius.

    • And the Gang-That-Can't-Shoot-Straight rides again. :>D

      Obama's grammar is no more faulty than that of most other public speakers, guys. I know you want SOOOOOOOOOOOO badly to be able to ridicule him for something----ANYTHING-----but, as usual, you're grasping at some mighty thin straws here. (And, considering some of the grammatical and syntactical butchering that goes on here every day, it's downright ludicrous to see you guys trying to play college professor.) :D

      I feel sorry for you. You struggle and struggle and struggle to depict Obama as some kind of inferior being (preferably with a bit of poorly concealed racial baiting).....and all it serves to do is show how desperate you are.

      • Olivia:"I feel sorry for you. You struggle and struggle and struggle to depict Obama as some kind of inferior being"

        Thank God you lefties haven't spent the last decade doing that to Bush. Obama is not stupid on an academic level, he's just not the Jesus/Shakespeare/Einstein you media-brainwashed, God-starved lefties make him out to be. His errors add more fuel to the fire that Bill Ayres wrote his first book for him. Ayres has said so twice and Obama hasn't refuted him.

          Nonsense, my boy. Bush built a LOT of political capital on his hokey just-plain-ol'-folks persona. He made it fashionable for far righters to look down their noses at intellectual curiosity, and to choose a head of state based on whether he'd be fun to guzzle beer with. Mediocrity became the new status symbol, and intelligence, education and culture qualities to be ashamed of.

          Don't blame Obama, or us liberals, if you bought into that reverse snobbery BS. We've been saying for years, unashamedly, that the president should stll be the smartest man or woman in the room....while you guys keep clamoring for aging beauty pageant contestants, professional liars who use the Bible as a political weapon, professional I-can-be-whatever-you-want-me-to-be chameleons, pizza tycoon wannabes and any other sideshow attraction that knows how to manipulate you into voting against your own best interests.

          • Olivia:"voting against your own best interests"

            Go tell the long-term unemployed and underemployed that it's in their best interests to re-elect this job-killing President who like a typical liberal earth-worshipper is obsessed with the boondoggle of green jobs while they suffer.

          • Olivia that post is so unbelievable, it is hard to come up with a choherent response. Kennedy was elected based on his Northeast rich folk, handsome persona. He was first to make use of TV in campaigning because he looked so good. Nixon was uncomfortable on the tube and looked it. Johnson came along with the down home Texas stuff, but if you thought HE was stupid you were seriously putting your life and career at risk. Dems ran Jimmy, the most Bible based, down home candidate in 4 decades. Everyone laughed at Reagan because of his country background, combined with his career in Hollywood. Bush I was back to the elite, then Clinton from ARKANSAS, with his grits and chicken accent conned the nation for 8 years. How do you figure Bush II made political hay for being from Texas? He was not a smooth talker, but is smarter than you give him credit for . At least we KNOW what his grades were, great or not. Obama could sell ice to eskimos, which is essentially what he did to the electorate. He promised them the moon and they fell for it! It has been seriously downhill since then. Even people who voted for Obama (if you can find someone to admit to it) is disappointed with his performance in office. When are you going to wake the hell up and see reality?

          • ......."We’ve been saying for years, unashamedly, that the president should stll be the smartest man or woman in the room…."

            The bean bag went a bit off target with your last choice there now didn't it miss britches?

          • Oh oh....Nurse Ratchet insulted Herman Cain..........that makes her GASP...A RACISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSST!

            Really? How so? And which race do you see me demeaning?

      • Ollie dear, Bakki's grammar lacks the temporoclistal hitches and oliptical hydractals that are second nature to most great orators. They are present when he has the prompter. Remove the prompter and they disappear. Combine the ever present octamadatrial hinctar and he really sounds off at times. Nobody will point that out, we do. He's a really good speaker, just not a great one. Oh, did I mention that he stutters?

      • Good morning miss high britches! Considering there are only 4 comments on this two of them from some nutjob and one from you - who's graspin at them there straws?

        • She's looking for a thread that has very few responses so it will look like nobody is refuting her stupidity.

          • Her tyrone persona is likely giving her trouble. Check the post times and you'll see she stuck a couple c. diff infused spews then switched to tyrone a few minutes later. Co inkydink? Hardly.

          • Truthfully, it's so tough to tell one left wingnut from another, I can't say for sure if it is her or one of her cronies from HuffPo doing the posting.

          • Now I kinda like Tyrone - not the 14 page manifestos - I like him cause he is a shining example of a liberal and makes one heck of a spokesman for the dnc. He most definitely encapsulates their their mentality as well as their line of thinking. Plus, when he does try to talk on his own, it's hilarious, yes sir.
