Here’s more of that change you can believe in. The Obama administration is changing terminology again.
Last week they said “terrorist attack” was being changed to “man-caused disaster.” “Enemy combatants” has been changed to “persons who the president has the authority to detain.” And in the lastest Orwellian name change, “the global war on terror” has officially become “Overseas Contingency Operation.”
The change was made official this week in a memo to White House speechwriters and other staff members.
While you’re changing terminology, Mr. President, we have a couple other suggestions:
How about changing “Commander in Chief” to “He Who Must Be Obeyed.” “Secretary of the Treasury” can become “Chief Obfuscation Officer.” And “Stimulus Package” can become “Porkapalooza.”
