WaPo finally gets a clue about Obama’s overblown rhetoric: apparently they’ve just discovered his verbal tic of making everything clear. But here’s the only “news” out of this : they don’t think he really means it ! You’re kidding.
When Obama is being "clear" these days, he is saying something quite different than when he was being clear in 2007 and 2008. His shifting use of the phrase traces the arc of Obama's time on the national stage, from campaign sensation to a president beset with challenges that rhetoric alone cannot overcome. In a presidency in which everything is murkier than Obama could have imagined, the "let me be clear" preface has become a signal that what follows will be anything but.
Entertain yourself by reading the whole article. And be sure to tune in to next month’s installment when the Washington Post discovers how often the Won misuses the terms “extraordinary” (if by “extraordinary” you mean “Obama did it”), “unprecedented” (if by “unprecedented” you mean “Obama did it”), and “robust” (if by “robust” you mean “Obama did it”).
Bush's loss of jobs to China and India was certainly unprecedented. His allowing the London ICE oil futures to be traded unregulated causing Americans to have to pay higher oil prices hurting their ability pay their mortgages was unprecedented also. It may not be unprecedented that a president drove the taxpayers into illegal wars so that their friends in corporations should profit.

ReplyDeleteLet me be clear: Your Great Satan, George W. Bush, is, unfortunately, no longer our President! So, how about no more "the dog ate my homework".
Wake up and try to look through the extraordinary haze of HOPE & CHANGE and see what you voted for: an unprecedented Marxist pupet with a robust teleprompter.
Anon, since you seem to like the blame game, why don't you include the Democratic-controlled Congress in your finger pointing?
