Joke Of The Week: Irritating Phrases Made By Politicians

Fox News reported the phrases spoken often by politicians that voters find irritating.  Here are five that either have become annoying to us, or at least, ones that we consider particularly tiring and our spin on them:

“Let  me be clear…”interpreted as I have to correct a statement  because either I or someone in my administration misspoke, completely goofed up or,worse yet, mistakenly told the truth.  Either way I have  to backtrack and deny whatever was said.

“A new foundation we seek to build” or I will huff and puff and blow your house down if you get in my way.

“Make no mistake. Change isn’t easy. ” But if you check your pockets, that’s about all you have now.

“We are in the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression.” Some policy of hope, huh?  FDR doesn’t have to worry about Obama ‘s supplanting his place in U.S. History.  Yeah, yeah we know, you inherited it from GWB– as Archie Bunker once said, stifle yourself, we’re sick of hearing this excuse.

“The goal here, uh, is that we’re gonna create or save 600,000 jobs over the next 100 days.” Um, it’s now  almost 10 months later and we are approaching double digit unemployment and have lost all the jobs created in the last 2 decades.  Liar, liar your pants are on fire! Oops, maybe I shouldn’t have said “liar.”
