I get stupider every time I read the Huffington Post. Hint to every journalist everywhere: even the Onion isn't doing the Onion's shtick that well anymore. You will probably fail, too.

Perhaps you would feel better if you saw the article on it's original site :

BOROWITZ REPORT
Obama’s Use of Complete Sentences Stirs Controversy

Stunning Break with Last Eight Years

http://www.borowitzreport.com/article.aspx?ID=6961

While the story is a bit tongue in cheek, I have seen a story or two about how over the past several Presidencies sentence structures have been dumbed down and shortened.

That makes it so much funnier, oh wait, no it doesn't.

(Your point was just that it wasn't Huffington, right?)

Your post is actually worse than the original article.

Keeping it even simpler: the 'joke' was poorly executed, regardless of any real or perceived veracity, or the original source. Thanks for your post, though, it added quite a bit.

Keeping it real: citation for your claims of hidden truth? I mean, you're the newsbot and all . . .
