John Merline of IBT has a funny, but true compilation of "code words" and phrases used by Obama in all of his speeches on jobs:
When he says: We inherited $1 trillion in deficits and an economy headed for a second Great Depression.
What he means is: It's all Bush's fault.
When he says: Thanks to my efforts, the economy was growing until this year.
What he means is: It was Bush's fault, but now it's the House Republicans' fault.
When he says: We need to focus on jobs.
What he means is: After $830 billion in stimulus spending, an auto bailout, cash for clunkers and several other multibillion-dollar "jobs" bills, none of which has worked, we need to try more of the same, but please don't call it a stimulus.
When he says: It's time to put country ahead of party.
What he means is: If you don't pass my plan, you're unpatriotic.
When he says: Our politics are broken.
What he means is: Republicans stubbornly refuse to act like potted plants.
When he says: My Republican friends.
What he means is: Those narrow-minded miscreants who are beholden to Tea Party barbarians that we need to "take out" and who, by the way, put party ahead of country (but I'm not questioning their patriotism).
