Translation: Obama is slicker than snot!
Indeed
“He uses the third person so that legally he can say he was talking about those people ( in general) who occupy this governmental position. If he use the word, I, then he would be lying. By using the third person he is not.”
I thought his use of third person was interesting too but he has said he was born in Hawaii before using first person. See the quote and link below. I also recall that he told a young student that he was born in Hawaii during some question/answer session. So he has verbally and in the first person committed himself to being born in Hawaii at least twice.
“I was born in Hawaii, what can I say?” Obama told Democratic donors in Boston. “I can’t change those facts.”
