"I suppose he has to but it feels a bit condescending."

Yeah, he has to. Look what happened to Al Gore. If they don't dumb it down, the get assailed for being too intellectual...

He could be a game show host... it's sort of creepy.

Actually, he's a natural teacher. He must have been a great professor.

The other part is that he really dumbs it down to talk to the lowest common denominator... reminds me of a third grade teacher. I suppose he has to but it feels a bit condescending.

If he didn't, he'd come off too smart. Remember he's been accused of being too professorial. Plus, you would be surprised the number of people who wouldn't understand him.
