Why Obama May Be Abandoning Bush's Favorite Phrase.

Newsweek ^ | February 4, 2009

[headstamp 2]

“War on Terror” becomes “Dialoguing with Al Qaeda”

“Colonoscopy” becomes “Scoping for dollars”

[headstamp 2]

“The “War on Terror” will be over when all the terrorists are “shovel ready”.”

LOL, a good one.

[eyedigress]

It's the War on Challenges now. Didn't everybody get the memo?

[MarkeyD]

“If you stop hating on us I’ll buy you a pony”?

[SparkyBass]

New Phrase: Whip it real good!

[garjog]

How about: “The National Sensitivity Campaign for the Cooperative Prevention of Violence”?

[OldNavyVet]

Libs are beginning to see that words mean things.

In this case, the “War on Terror,” Libs are running into a wall over something akin to acknowledging that a pig is a pig.

[Joya]

By jove, man, I think you’ve got it.

[The_Reader_David]

What a charming idea. How about we call it The 1400-Years War, and try to end it with a decisive victory for Western civilization over Islam one or before the 1400’s anniversary of the birth of Mohammed?

Writer Isikoff knows what the power of a phrase might be. Please recall that back in 05, he wrote that Americans were flushing korans down toilets in Guantanamo prison, riots ensued, people died, and Isikoff never seemed to demonstrate much in the way of a conscience for what his lying phrases and sentences caused.

The reason that Marxist Obama is having high level meetings on what to call the War on Terror is that they need to make sure that Dubya (or our troops) gets little credit for the successes that were and will be so hard-won.

When his crack team of word wizards (could Mr. Gibbs be among them?) comes up with a suitably humanistic euphemism for the War On Terror, then Obama-the-narcissist will be more easily credited with success than Dubya, his predecessor, by the likes of Mister Isikoff. (Naturally, however, if Obama screws it all up, Isikoff will blame Dubya.)

“The Charge of the Light Facade”???

[lmr]

LOL.

Just like the Clinton Administration, these people are into marketing, not leading.

Democrats can only campaign, they cannot lead.

Just like Clinton, Mr. Obama will continue to spout meaningless phrases to make people feel better, but solve nothing.

>Instead of the War on Terror, how about the

Search For Common Ground With Folks Who See Things Differently From Us<

How about “Our struggle to understand them more”?

[Proud_USA_Republican]

I’m sure they’ve hired some marketing focus group to come up with the new phrase which meets the following requirements:

1) Must in no way convey an image of being militaristic.
2) Sound positive, not negative.
3) Cannot in anyway be construed as being racist, sexist, or homophobic.
4) And above all else, nobody’s feelings or self-esteam can be hurt by it.

>>Obama will soon have manifold souls to tally in the afterlife.<<

And the MSM will be right beside him. B******s.

[Yardstick]

How about “Our struggle to understand them more”?

Yeah, that's good -- more compact. In fact, about just the

Struggle for Understanding

[Salvation]

Mr. Obama:

"Either you are with us or you are for the terrorists."
~~George W. Bush
