“Speaking truth to power” is supposed to be a cleansing, cathartic gesture, the clearing of the miasma formed when thinking is clouded or has become noxious.
Face it, Obama talks one way, and acts another, which sends a broad spectrum of mixed signals. He generates his own “white noise” while sending the very meaning of the words he utters down into some “black hole”.
The Emperor STILL has no clothes. No matter how pretty the words, it is all still lipstick on an extremely ugly visage, and becomes a parody of itself even as he speaks.
It is?
I always took it as pretentious psychobabble masquerading as deep thought.
Nothing recently has changed that assessment.
