NewSpeak from 1984

The Obama administration is borrowing a trick from George Orwells novel, "1984".

In that novel the leaders of the government had a department that was in charge of making everything say what they wanted, even to the extent of changing all written history so that a flip flop in policy looked like it had always been that way. It was called NewSpeak.

The Obama administrations latest attempt at NewSpeak, is now calling the "Bush Tax Cuts" the "Obama Tax Cuts." Nancy Polosi yesterday referred to the extension of the "Bush" tax cuts as the "Obama" tax cuts. This is a blatant lie and a complete reversal from the earlier position of being in favor of letting the "Bush" tax cuts expire. Now they want to extend them and rename them the "Obama Tax Cuts."
Obama wins with new tax cuts...they will declare.

How about "Comprehensive Immigration Reform" which a year ago was a massive idea of ignoring the borders and grandfathering all 12 million illegals into citizenship. They couldnt pull it off so rather than admit defeat, they re-defined "Comprehensive Immigration Reform" to be the Dream Act. A small part of the original failed idea, a part that might even be able to garner bi-partisan support, and then attach it to the military funding bill, which most will not want to vote against, and then declare a WIN on "Comprehensive Immigration Reform"
Obama passes "Comprehensive Immigration Reform"...they will say.

Now they tell us that "Global Warming" will become "Global Climate Disruption" Thus they can argue more effectively for the Cap and Trade legislation. By removing the discredited theory of global warming they will sound more intelligent and less like the fools they are.

"Recovery Summer" was touted as a celebration of the US coming out of the recession. Now as the summer draws to an end and the recession shows no sign of abating, they redefine the phrase "Recovery Summer" to mean that they are working hard to spend enough money to effect a recovery in the future.

Today Obama appointed a cabinet position officer that will "organize" a new "Department of Consumer Protection" without Senate confirmation. She will sit on his cabinet. How could he do that? Well, we are told, because she wont actually be heading the department, in fact no one will, she will just be in charge of setting it up, running it, and organizing it "Until someone is selected to head it." This is a blatant attempt to appoint another Czar with no accountability and no Senate approval.

Unfortunately this is not the end of his lies and redefinitions.

We need to redefine "President Obama" to mean "Past President Obama"
