Hmm. This looks like the beginning of the excuse-making phase of the disastrous Obama presidency, not even a year and a half in.
What better way for liberals to save face by making the excuse that Barry is a crappy leader because nobody is smart enough to understand him. At least they're finally acknowledging we have a completely ineffective Commander in Chief, even if they are coming up with ridiculous reasons to avoid looking like racists and to not hurt Obama's feelings.
As someone else commented: hilarous.

RIDICULOUS! While I possess a Ph.D., it did not take a genius to understand EXACTLY what he said. The gist of his diatribe/"speech" Carter rehash was this:
"Everything including the oil spill and despoiling of the Gulf coast is BUSH's FAULT; I have done NOTHING WRONG and continue to do EVERYTHING RIGHT regarding the oil spill and clean up and all of you little people are idiots if you believe or say otherwise. EVERYTHING IS FINE, so go to the coast and spend your money. I am also going to use this "crises" to further "redistribute the wealth", destroy the country and enslave it's population by passing CAP AND TAX so I can TAX AMERICA INTO NON EXISTENCE and control EVERY AREA of your lives as it pertains to energy because I am a Marxist, communist, Black-liberation theology Socialist."
See, that was not so hard to understand was it?

9.8 grade level..........perhaps the discussion should be why a publicly educated society, who attend for 12 years is not capable of understanding a man talking at a 9.8 year grade level?

OK, first of all, these people think Obama actually wrote the speech! If they are that deluded, how I am supposed to give any credence to their analysis? It was a crap speech, a drone-fest in the usual BO style, that is, much is said but little information is conveyed.

Grade 7.4 of his 2008 "Yes, we can" victory speech, which many consider his best effort, Payack said. So, the average dem comprehends at a 7th grade level. That sounds about right to me.

Back in the day, I was doing a lot of public speaking. I did some research and found some advice from Churchill that made a lot of sense.
4 words per sentence. Keep the words short.
not more than 4 sentences per paragraph.
Tell them at least three times, in three different ways what you mean.
Tell them what you are going to say, say it, and then tell them what you said.
We will fight them. We will meet them on the beaches. We will fight them on the streets....We will never surrender. Never.
Obama likes to bedazzle us with his brilliance.

Thanks for the support. You are not alone, I also can not stand to watch or listen to this arrogant, angry black Mussolini either. It is quite apparent that Obama has nothing but abject contempt, utter disdain and hatred for America and for the American people who are not "HIS people". Everything coming out of his mouth is a lie, everything!
Sadly, I believe Obama is in the position he is in because America is under the direct divine judgment of God because of our sinful rejection of Him and His Christ. Many of the masses are totally deceived by Satan, the "god of this world" to the point where they are totally blind to who/what Obama truly is and continue to believe his lies. That said, the good news is this: God IS IN CONTROL and the Lord Jesus Christ is coming back sooner than most people could possibly imagine.

They may be right. Anyone with more than two neurons to rub together didn’t watch the speech.

He needs to be more like President Camacho:
S--T!
I know s--t's bad right now. With all that oil spill bulls--t. But I got a solution.
That's what I thought... Now I understand everyone's s--t's emotional right now. But listen up. I got a three point plan to fix everything....
