Story posted at Huffington Post:

 

o, I just finished comparing the transcript of President Obama's first

presidential press conference this evening with the very first one that former

President George W. Bush conducted back on February 22, 2001.

I copied each full transcript into separate Word documents. After doing that, I

deleted the introductions by both men (since those are largely or fully

scripted) and then deleted all reporter questions from the transcripts. What you

have left are simply the answers that each president offered, off-the-cuff and

unscripted, to all questions.

Then I ran Word's readability tool.

Guess what?

Bush's answers were spoken at 7th grade level. Obama's at a 10th grade level.
