The White House's Unprecedented Use of 'Unprecedented'

Wed, 25 Nov 2009 09:43:50 -0500

The White House's Unprecedented Use of 'Unprecedented':

As I work in an industry where repeating “big” words is a huge no-no, I found this pretty entertaining. And from a political point of view, pretty unsurprising at this point in his presidency. As they say in Texas, “Big hat, no cattle”.

The Obama White House is addicted to the “unprecedented.”

Perhaps it was a sign when President Barack Obama sat down in January to record his first weekly address and announced: “We begin this year and this administration in the midst of an unprecedented crisis that calls for unprecedented action.”

What has followed is declaration after declaration of “unprecedented” milestones. Some of them are legitimate firsts, like the president’s online town hall at the White House in May.

But others the president wins merely on a technicality, and several clearly already have precedent.

Me: Does your nephew have Microsoft Word?
Prospective client: Yes.
Me: Then have him write you a novel while he’s at it.

jeffmiller:

“When the Congressional Budget Office scores a bill, its looks at the budgetary effects over the immediate ten year window. So on the health care bill, the headline cost of $849 billion covers the period between 2010 and 2019. Problem is, it’s a misleading figure since most of the new programs don’t actually kick in until 2014, and, as a result, most of the spending—99 percent, according to the CBO—doesn’t occur until the final six years. That means it’s not actually a very good reflection of how much it’s going to cost to run the bill’s new programs over a decade-long period.” (via How Much Does A Decade of Health Care Reform Cost? It Depends on What You Mean By “First Decade.” - Hit & Run : Reason Magazine)

Tee of the Day, Too: “Hope is Fading Fast” from Freshjive.

From re-uping the Patriot Act to expanding involvement in Afghanistan to defending DOMA to laughing off legalization, Obama has managed to do many disappointing things in his short time in office. And hope for change is fading fast.
