Obamaspeak

The Whitehouse agents of Newspeak have renamed a number of things in their two months in power. Usually this is done to conceal an actual agenda, such as the campaign in Afganistan being changed over to not include the Taliban, but being restricted to al Queda, which is not even in Afganistan. No longer a "war on terror", the new name is a forgettable - and forgotten - obfuscation.

Now they have renamed the act of Obama bowing to the middle eastern potentate as a "dip", not a bow. As one wag observed, Obama nearly dipped his forehead into his knee-cap. The blatant lies that are issued hourly by this White House are the best indicator of their long-term non-viability; you can't fool all the people all the time.

Other wags comment that it already seems like 4 years since Obama started his imperial reign; Obama is everywhere all the time. Not unlike Big Brother. The saturation campaign will also turn against them in the long run, one suspects, as over-familiarity will breed a certain contempt amongst their previously starry-eyed idol worshippers.
