A Spade Is no Longer a Spade in America
They're not taxes, they're revenues.
They're not boondoggles, they're strategic investments.

I crassly kid, but to make this very crass point: President Obama is not only changing the debate, he's eliminating the very words and terms that define that debate.
Take "illegals."
He says, more like "Americans in waiting." Much better, right.
And it even beats Nancy Pelosi's "undocumented aliens." That one sounded soo.... "Steven Spielberg'ish," don't you think?
That's what happens when lawyers come together and rejigger the words to rejigger the debate.
Because this is the same crowd that nixed "global warming" for "climate change." That one was brilliant, because you can never go wrong saying the climate's changing... it always is.

Give. Me. A. Break.
This is "literally" cutting America to ...the... core.
