Language Expert Says Americans Are Too uneducated to Understand Obama

According to Paul J.J. Payack, president of Global Language Monitor, Americans are just not intelligent enough to understand what Obama was trying to say in his speech Tuesday evening.  He says that Obama speech was written to a 9.8 grade level of understanding.  I guess us hicks in the hinterland just don't git wat Obama were trying to tell us unejacated folk out here.  Despite using slightly less than four sentences per paragraph, Payack says that because Obama used 19.8 words per sentence, that our ability to go comprehend what he was saying went right over our heads. Payack especially had a problem with the following sentence because he states that the phraseology used made him come off as aloof and out of touch.

"That is why just after the rig sank, I assembled a team of our nation's best scientists and engineers to tackle this challenge -- a team led by Dr. Steven Chu, a Nobel Prize-winning physicist and our nation's secretary of energy."
Excuse me, but did this so-called speech professional listen to the same speech America heard?  After all, Obama's most strident defenders like leftist comrades Chris Matthews, Keith Olbermann and Howard Fineman said that Obama speech was actually were Carteresque.  A speech without direction they said. (see video below article)  A speech that gave us no sense that he is in charge of the situation.  Even Eugene Robinson turned on Obama after he failed to give a good speech from the Oval Office.  If you are not sure who Eugene Robinson is, well he just happens to be one of the main Washington Post hacks who is always complaining about the gun-toting, Bible thumping, racist haters who are always complaining about everything Obama does or says.  Well Robinson wrote that his "heart sank" when Obama began to babble on about Energy Secretary Steven Chu and his Nobel Prize.

First, he needed to enlist Americans in a holy crusade to halt the worst environmental disaster in our history. Instead, he told us about Dr. Chu's Nobel prize.For weeks, administration officials have been trumpeting Chu's distinction.
There were other leftists who were even harsher then the ones I cited above when it came to dissecting Obama's speech.  Salon.com got in on the act of bashing the speech as "Just words as the Oval Office speech fizzles."  Then there was the usually reliable Obama defender, "The Huffington Post", that carried articles Wednesday describing the presidential speech as vapid, profoundly underwhelming, with vague generalities that were empty of substance and totally lacking any conviction. Fact is, the only positive thing the leftist in the MSM could even agree on was the $20 billion deal he coerced out of BP.

We have always known that the elitists on the left look down upon us peasants in flyover country.  However, to try and say that Obama's problem with his speech was we are too stupid to grasp what he was saying is a bit of a stretch to say the least.  I guess what we should all get from this explanation for Obama's failure in reaching us is that we are just a bunch of ignorant fools.  Why Obama is so far ahead of us in intelligence, we just don't deserve such a great man to lead us. 

Truth be told, Obama is a prime example of a person being educated beyond his intelligence, and who ever wrote what he read from the teleprompter is even dumber then he is. Never in my life have I seen such incompetence reach such a high level of authority as he has,.  Obama is nothing more then a community activist who won a popularity contest.  Come next January he is going to find that a whole new breed of political leaders will be in Washington, and that he is not as bright as he thinks he is.  I would advise him to start studying the constitution, because my guess is they will be spoon feeding it to him one constitutional right after another.

Communication. I worked for a major railroad in the track maintenance department for 20 some years until retirement. Each workday morning there had to be a safety briefing and a lay out of the days work. This was necessary because lives depended on everyone understanding what was happening and what was coming our way. No matter how educated you are, no matter how much or how well you know the subject and no matter how much you explain your self the bottom line is unless everyone you are talking with understands exactl what you are saying then all you are doing it talking and not communicating. This is what our supremely educated President does. TALK! Not communicate and the person head of the Global Language what ever is a fool to think it is America's fault because we do not understand Obama because he is so educated. The object is to communicate and unless that happens then nothing happens.

You are correct.

To add to what you said, I'll repeat what I wrote in the column, and I'll keep saying it until everyone I know truly gets it;,

"Obama was educated beyond his intelligence"

The "bottom line" is this: we understand EXACTLY what "the won" is saying and we see who his friends and associates are. Need I say more?????

Exactly, Fredomczar. They think we don't understand him, but the truth is he don't understand us.

I guess we will have to speak a little louder for him to understand us.

Out here in the "Hinterland" we will be very loud come November,and just like the Verizon commercial saying goes,

Come November he will hear a very loud and unified;

"CAN YOU HEAR US NOW MR. COMMUNITY ORGANIZER?"

This is too funny. Most who listened to the speech are probably better educated than is Obama. And they are certainly more honest. I think the author is the one who fails to "understand" Obama, grasping as he is for whatever rationalizations will help to prop up the empty suit masquerading as the president.

Good point Laurs1.

I am always amazed how the elitists of society can never accept blame or even criticize their own.

We are always the ones who are too stupid to understand how much they care.

This Language Exert, needs to get out of his ivory tower and start talking to normal intelligent people on the street. He would then realize how ignorant he and his Messiah truly are.

Thanks for the comment

To say that Americans aren't educated is absurd. Some of us did get educations, and recognize exactly what you are. You call yourself a christian... I guess so does one of obama's advisors, but as we know that's not the truth.
Academics will always get it wrong...lol.. they always think they are the smart ones, but life teaches a different story.
Most of us out here are smart enough to see the truth, and by the grace of our Lord.. we have been called... It's a mighty army.

I think I am proud to be associated with the uneducated because if being so called educated gets the likes of Washington and Obama "No Thanks". Gun Toting, God Fearing is me! I can sleep at night.

Thanks Chelsea, I'm with you.

I f those who think the current regime is what America needs, then I would prefer to be ignorant and stupid, but truth be told they are the ignorant ones.

These elitists sit in the ivory towers and look down upon us as if they are gods. They will one day come face to face with the true God, and then they will see how ignorant they truly are.

OK, and what part of my article made you think I agree with the language expert?

If you are confused and believe I think they are smart and we in fly over country are stupid, well you need to reread the article.

Or if you do believe that is what I said, then you read the title and never read the article, because your comment to me makes no sense at all.

Try practicing a little reading comprehension the next time you read one of my columns, because you are way off base dude!

About Me: I am a born again Christian who enjoys talking religion and politics. I have always believed that it is the Christian's obligation to understand the workings of our government as well as they do the precepts of God. Jesus tells us to be "wise as serpents and harmless as doves". (Mark 10:16) So it is with this understanding that I approach life. I was born in the Midwest, and while I may have grown up in Northern Minnesota, I have earned my degree in knowledge and understanding from the many regions of America and Europe that I have either lived in or visited as an adult.
