Obfuscation by Obama and Others

I learned early in my career that in order to succeed at my occupation I had to learn to understand what was being said. This is at times called “reading between the lines”. Surprisingly enough with training from our Government I got pretty good at reading and analyzing just what being said. The key to understanding is patterns. People who blatantly lie are quickly discovered, but the successful liars are those who mix truth with half-truths or misdirection by their choice of words.

Here are a few examples:

Carter, at the American University in Cairo:

Two Hamas officials indicated to Jimmy Carter that they would accept a peace agreement with Israel if the plan were approved through ‘a referendum of the Palestinian community.’

What HAMAS was really saying was,

If you can hold a referendum vote, we can rig the election so that 51% of the Palestinian people disagree with Israel’s right to exist.

Jimmy Carter said, after his meeting with HAMAS leaders [emphasis added],

Palestinians are ready to live in peace with Israel.

What HAMAS was really saying:

Return all land that we believe is ours, let all Palestinians return to live inside Israel so we can out number you and rule over you. Then we can make you recreate Israel in Europe somewhere and then we will leave you alone.

About the PA primary Obama said,

We’re winning.

What he was really saying:

Hillary Clinton is a liar. Bush is a liar. Polls lie. Newpapers lie. Everyone lies except me. Trust me I am here to save you with my intelligent rhetoric and empty plans.

With his messianic vision of himself it is no wonder that Obama thinks Che was freedom fighter and that Hugo Chavez is a patriot. If the recent PA primary is Obama’s idea of winning, who in their right mind could rely on him to be Commander in Chief? Guess we will have to change the old axiom,

Close only counts in horseshoes, hand grenades and politics!

This comment section is for the readers of Ft. Hard Knox, a place for political conservatives to share information about online activism. We are not "fair and balanced," and we aren't refereeing a "free speech zone." Intelligent, funny, and on-topic comments are welcome. Trolls, spam, and liberal propaganda are not. We may occassionally approve a comment with an obvious lefty-slant so that we can amuse ourselves by making fun of it, but most will be deleted. (Why? Because we're busy, we have lives, and when we want to talk to you we'll go visit you on Digg or the Daily KOS.)

This is a private blog, and we reserve the right to make up our own rules as we go along. The few comments which manage to squeak by our censors reflect the opinion of the commentator, and not necessarily the staff of Ft. Hard Knox.
