All my Life I had been taught that if you want to solve a problem, or over come some obstacle, I would have to meet the situation head on. Ignoring the problem or delaying action will only cause more problems than I originally thought I had. Of course like everyone else I've met this challenge with varying degrees of success. Many times I didn't always make the right decision, but at least I had the experience of knowing what not to do the next time.
I want to take this time to thank President Obama and the rest of the left wing establishment for showing me the error of my ways. Who knew that instead of dealing with a problem myself I could just give it another more positive name or phrase, and then blame someone else for everything that happened before the change.
For example if I find myself in a financial mess; I can just rename any overwhelming debt that I may be about to default on, calling them toxic assets.Yes toxic assets, it has sort of menthol cigarette after a long night of drinking and debauchery ring to it.( Disclaimer:The national review board of politicaly correct rhetoric mandates that I assure everyone that this article does not in anyway condone smoking.) I can then take my newly acquired assets down to my bank and borrow more money.
The loan officer would be reassured that I was not in fact borrowing money, but signing off on an absolutely necessary recovery and investment package, that might possibly help me to avert an even larger crisis. Maybe. In the end, it all works out really well, because I won't have to pay off any of this debt anyway. Besides it was the banks predatory lending practices that forced me to take out this loan, that actually isn't a loan, in the first place. Who really cares my neighbor will pay it back, and I get to keep all my stuff. That's what's so great about this Obama era of shared responsibility, everybody gets to share in my irresponsibility and I really don't have to share anything.
The best part about this practice, as the President has showed us, is that you can apply it to any situation. For example suppose I decide to start breaking into peoples houses and stealing their stuff, I don't have to worry about feeling guilty about my new lifestyle choice because I can just tell myself and my family that I've taken up a career in foreign property displacement. With a title like that I can pillage my little heart out, kinda like not calling enemy combatants, well, enemy combatants. It's great you get to keep using all of the previous administrations tactics without having to publicly cozy up to those messy situations that you may have demonized during your campaign. Besides, you know that the press and the people who voted for you, aren't going to actually question you about anything anyway.
Another great thing about whatever form of nomenclature you use to describe your endeavors, is that none of it is set in stone. Better yet it is always "subject to further revision", exactly like the administrations Guantanamo bay policy. which as far as I can tell means: we can change our minds at anytime about this, or we really have no clue what to do. At the very least it means that you really don't have to make a actual decision right now.

You MUST be kidding.
I suggest you look up Conservative wordsmith extrordinaire, Frank Luntz. The one who made pollution "Clear Skies", the one who made logging "Healthy Forests", the one who made oil drilling "Energy Exploration", this guy put a smily face on Orwellian.
Anthony, are you really this guillible?
You are making ZERO sense, even your example "toxic assets" doesn't work, since IMHO something actually "toxic" is far worse than mere "debt". Wev.
Orwell was talking about your side bub, and to play your own game of "doublespeak" is the height of hilarity and hypocricy. Just remember that when you are pointing that finger, three are pointing back at you.
Pathetic.
And if I wasn't a Socialist this morning, I am tonight. The business genuis that own my company eliminated my position this afternoon, along with a number of others because he made bad choices. So I'll be living off unemployment for awhile, and damn right I'm gonna take it.
I mean...there is even a wail regarding the tyranny of political correctness.
This HAS to be parody.
Belive me I know I live in the heart of philadelphia in a mixed neighborhood and I don't mean mixed income. Believe me brother the liberal war on poverty is a losing one. Even when the cost of fuel is high here it is still less expensive then the rest of the world. The price of goods & services is relatively low, all of this is due to capitolism, it is competition that keeps prices in check, not government. it is competition and capitolism that that gives us the ability to choose between so many different thing the market offers to us that we take for granted. And please don't assume that I take the side of companies like enron. you have alot to learn about what a conservative really is. My point is Government does not solve our problems when they try they only tend to create more of them. I'm sure if your good at whatever it is you do you'll find something soon. Me I choose not to take part in this recession. Ive sold cars for 13 years making what I consider a pretty good living. Mostly because I really don't care about money, it's much ,more important to me that I enjoy what I do, The money seems to just kinda come when thats the case. You know what,I had some health issues in december that forced me out of that job. So believe me brother I understand I got a son that just turned one, my first. no steady income andthe car market crashed last year, my income was off about 25000.But you know what God puts you exactly where your supposed to be. So I decide to dedicate myself to writing which is what i've wanted to do ever since high school. and best of all I get to be a father to my boy which I wouldn't be able to do if I was still working 12 hours a day. Most of all I know and have faith that things will work out for the best. I hope that you will do the same
