I will revel in the irony of an article about how Obama uses fourth-grade language is greeted by "Obama is an idiot!".

Or perhaps I should have said...

Nuh-uh!!!

As for George Will and his ridiculous article -- I'd ask which of our most recent presidents he thinks used sufficiently erudite language. Bush? Clinton? The undermining of education, science, and scholarship continues -- and gone are the days when "well spoken" was a compliment... Now "Plan spoken" is the compliment.
