Day 52. Double speaking

Reported at cnn.com

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- President Obama took aim Thursday at conservative critics who claim that he is using the economic crisis to ram through an unrelated, expansive domestic agenda.

I listened to part of this on CNBC. What I heard was nothing but double-speak and justification for growing the government and its influence in our (i.e. yours and mine) everyday lives. One minute before, he would say he does not want to increase government's role. He also mentioned that he was always 'optimistic'. Guess he forgot what he read off a teleprompter when the porkulus bill was being discussed. I remember words like catastrophe, crisis, and other gloom and doom terms. Now he is saying it is not as bad as we think!
