Vanity | self

Posted on 04/08/2012 5:00:59 PM PDT by zencycler

Some recent and obvious examples:

"Unprecedented"

"Strong Majority"

"Judicial Activism"

Just wondering if anyone can add to this list?

It grates me when he skips over his consonants.

Example: “We cannot continue to rely on our military in orderuh-uhchieve the national security objectives we’ve set...”

That’s, “In order to achieve,” Mr. President.

It goes without saying that changing the vocabulary is an important tool of all totalitarian regimes. That's what George Orwell's "Newspeak" teaches us.

As for the Obama regime, what exactly is "affordable" about the "Affordable Care Act"?

And what did his "stimulus" stimulate?

My personal favorite (like nails on a chalkboard, favorite)
is when he uses the rhetoric trick of saying “all economists believe...” or “All Americans think...” or “Reasonable people know...” attempting to create a false impression of consensus.
This guy is a well practiced con-man.
