Speaking at Cross Campus, a technology hub in the "Silicon Beach" region of Los Angeles, Obama said he will not wait for Republicans to pass amnesty legislation. (snip) Obama then said that if Republicans "were thinking long-term politically, it is suicide for them not to" pass comprehensive amnesty legislation.Okay, sports fans, let's analyze that statement. You know his internal mantra is "no more GOP governments, ever." Therefore you'd think nothing would please loyal Democrat Obama more than a GOP suicide. And you'd be correct.
Of course, that is exactly what Obama is urging the GOP to do: commit suicide by supporting amnesty. It has the double barreled effect of (a) infuriating the GOP base, and (b) hugely increasing the Democrat-loyal Hispanic electorate.
I label that with the faux-Orwellian neologism "doublespeak," saying exactly what you do not mean.
