I have no particular love for the doublespeak of politicians. I recall the Democrats, and the Legacy Media, which are pretty much one and the same thing, talking about "revenue enhancements" meaning tax increases. And what phrase is more dishonest than "affirmative action"?

But Barry Obama has taken us to new heights, which is to be expected, because he's all talk. Today on television his chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, the most frightening man on the planet, except possibly his brother Ezekiel, who is planning to kill, sorry, ration health care to, old people said that Obama won't send troops to Afghanistan until he believes that there is a good government there.

We can be very glad that prior, and infinitely better, presidents didn't feel that way about, oh, Iraq, Afghanistan, Japan, and Germany.

Obama is a man so weak that he cannot make a decision and who will sic his dogs on anyone, like Fox News, who dares to challenge whatever fiction that he's spreading today. I never before understood the venality of "kill the messenger."

Bob Maistros has given us an Obama glossary. Some of the more entertaining ones, if you enjoy gallows humor, are

Engagement - a combination of unilateral concessions and America-bashing abroad.

Nothing (as in "nothing in this plan will require you or your employer to change the coverage or the doctor you have") - everything.
Irresponsible (as in "irresponsible behavior") - constitutionally protected.

Choice - the opportunity to select big government.

The ones which amuse the most are

Misinformation - facts, when presented by our opponents.

Fact (as in, "these are the facts" or "to state a fact") - my opinion.

Honest debate - agreeing with me.

In particular the last one. We have a president who has never accomplished anything except looking good, and who was given a Nobel Peace Prize for that. He doesn't have the cojones to stand up to anyone who might fight back. He has never been tested, not even on the campaign trail. And all he does is talk. There's nothing to him except the veneer and his voice.

Ayn Rand in The Fountainhead said that most people thought that the devil would a strong and with a sword but instead he's small, many, smutty and small. Again she was prescient.
