Every time you hear him say Let me be clear,it means he is about to spin some thing.
Haha, true.
“Let me be clear” always proceeds a huge whooper, not really just a spin on something.
Example
“Let me be clear: The United States government has no interest in running GM.”
Precisely. It's like when somebody says, "To be honest with you...". You have to wonder, what?... you weren't honest with me before??
