Yes, it certainly does, since “is” does have multiple meanings. For example, if I say “Obama is a jackass”, I probably do not mean that Obama is a barnyard animal.

Actually, is is pretty consistent there. What is not clear is the meaning of the word jackass. You did not say 0bama is a barnyard animal. But we know he is a jackass, because we know the multiple meanings of the word jackass.
