I really don't know about how true this opinion piece is but I do see a lot of interpretation of the words Obama uses when he speaks. I do not think that he intends to have words mean what they mean in normal dictionaries and that he reinterprets so many of the meanings to fit what he wants to say.
The tools of Obama's profession require words and sentences be measured and calculated. Any miscommunication is intentional as his words are often left to interpretation so as to provide each listener with the possibility that Obama spoke directly to their concern.
In the best tradition of mythological soothayers and oracles his promises and predictions are interpretive to allow a great margin for error. To say to a king just before a battle that a great kingdom will fall today, leaves the king with the confidence that it is his enemies kingdom that will fall. He walks away sure that he will win today's battle. When he loses, the oracle claims she didn't say which kingdom would fall. This allows her to always be correct and her client as the fool who simply misunderstood her words. Ask the woman in Detroit if Obama is paying her bills from his stash.
The media has conspired to market Obama as a great orator but forgot to include the part that suggests he is even a second rate communicator.
If Obama ever actually explained where he was taking the USA he would be met with cries for impeachment. It is imperative that he speak creatively to avoid providing detail and structure of the agenda that his handlers plan to unfold.
The man is the world's worst communicator as demonstrated by the constant surpises being revealed in his namesake Obamacare legislation.
Obama's philosophy ensures the electorate be treated a children in the backseat who are admonished by their father to sit down and be quiet while he will let them know where they are going when they get there. Thus Nancy Pelosi's comment that, 'we have to pass it to see what's in it".

Her whining about Obama labeling all government spending 'investment' is laughable considering the typically hypocritical NeoConfused view of spending they like being 'investment' and spending they don't like being 'pork' and 'government waste', not to mention they whine about 'wealth redistribution' while having NO problem with things like millions of taxpayer $$$ spent on Iraqi infrastrucure with ZERO benefit to the US.
"message sent recently to senior Pentagon staff explains that "this administration prefers to avoid using the term Long War or Global War On Terror (Gwot) ... please pass this on to your speechwriters". Instead, they have been asked to use a bureaucratic phrase that could hardly be further from the fiery rhetoric of the months immediately following the 9/11 terrorist attacks. The global war on terror is dead; long live "overseas contingency operations"."
I hate it when the WH, Obama, and Congress mention the word "jobs" when it has absolutely ZERO to do anything with jobs... its meant more to "scare" Americans to their side... I REALLY don't like it when they try that kind of stuff...
'Senator Obama's female staffers were paid just 78 cents for every dollar his male staffers made. [9]
"women still earn only 77 cents for every dollar earned by men," and "just totally wrong."'
Before the lefties start whining about the source, please feel free to challenge anything in it.
If you dont even know the piece is true, why in the world did you even post it?
Oh, never mind, I know why.
The same reason that someone would post a thread title like "Palin emails, she is toast" before even knowing what's in the emails.....
Oh, I'm sorry....that was a leftist who posted that....so it's o.k.....
