Leading From Behind: Obama and the 2012 ‘Banished Word List’

I’m not sure if academics at Lake Superior State University are trying to help their fellow academic who occupies the White House by giving a subtle hints that his message is not resonating.

Here is the list. And, as a bonus, I’ve found a few video example with the Lecturer in Chief giving usage examples to help everyone remember how not to use the banished words.

Blowback (Obama doesn’t use the word ‘blowback’ in the clip. However, if the media wasn’t in the tank for him, he would experience much more ‘blowback’ over this scandal):

New Normal:

“What is a danger is that we stay stuck in a new normal where unemployment rates stay high. People who have jobs see their incomes go up. Businesses make big profits, but they’ve learned to do more with less. And so they don’t hire. And, as a consequence, we keep on seeing growth that is just too slow to bring back the eight million jobs that were lost. That is a danger. So, that’s something that I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about.”

    Got one more to add. Recovery. Under this POTUS, we’ll never see it.

      Nope, no recovery with Obama, the Dem’s holding the Senate and weak (and disappointing) ‘leadership’ in the House of Reps.

    Nice collection. He hasn’t used Corpseman lately.

      Thanks!

      Looking back, I should have added something about the Ginormous debt racked up in the last three years that has been layered on top of the Ginormous debt we already had.
