Every time I hear him say “Let me be clear,” I want to throw something at the TV.

Every time you hear him say “Let me be clear,it means he is about to spin some thing.

I've joined quite a few other Americans in a cure for that -- don't watch him. Read the transcript, for what it's worth.

There is some fun to be had with the YouTube videos of his speeches. The Hopenhagen one, in particular. If you have some time to spare, turn the sound off, let it download completely, then run it at fast forward (by dragging the slider). It a frantic mishmash of head turning and bobbing, hand movements and angry facial expressions. Very revealing of the spoiled brat who didn't get his way -- twice -- in Copenhagan.

May I suggest he adopt the following as an alternative?

"Let me depart from my usual rhetorical style consisting of vague, feel-good clichés juxtaposed with tortured semantics and outright prevarications and state..."

No “let me be clear” is the new drinking game and most are drunk before the end of any speech he makes.
