This post suggests that the age level needed to understand political speeches is going down. Apparently, Warren Harding's speech was pitched at 16-year olds. In contrast, Obama's acceptance speech needed an age of only about 9.6 to follow and McCain's needed an age of just 7.72 to follow.
This does suggest that the 'sound bite' nature of modern reporting is making it more and more difficult to communicate complex ideas to the public.
