State of the Union registers at 8th grade reading level

Obama’s 2012 SOTU address rated at an 8th grade comprehension level on the Flesch-Kincaid readability test, the 3rd lowest score of any SOTU since 1934. SURPRISE, Politico suggests the reason is the audience is so simpleminded, not their boyfriend. They may have a point, likely the only folks who still bother listening to Obabbler are 8th graders and journ0lists. Thanks to Politico for pointing that out.
