The Uses Of Euphemism
26th July 2011
Scott Johnson of Powerline draws back the curtain on the Obamanation.
Obama’s speech last night was permeated with the deep dishonesty and poll-tested euphemisms that constitute his contribution to the debt ceiling debate. Here are a few of the euphemisms Obama has contributed: revenue (taxes), shared sacrifice (taxes), asking for something (taxes), millionaires and billionaires (taxes on individuals earning more than $200,000 a year or couples earning more than $250,000 a year), the balanced approach (taxes).
You can tell when Obama is lying — his lips are moving.
