[Guy Whitey Corngood]

The White House's unprecedented use of 'unprecedented'

Carol E. Lee Carol E. Lee – Wed Nov 25, 12:54 am ET
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 precedents.

The White House’s announcement of its unprecedented — “a first by an American president visiting China” — town hall meeting with students in Beijing, for instance, drew a collective eye roll in certain circles back home, namely among former aides to President George W. Bush, who had already been grumbling about Obama’s carefree application of “unprecedented.”

5. I am still amazed at their ability to take something that at most would elicit a

"Hey look at that. OK moving on now." and just milk the fuck out of it.

6. This

is exactly what I thought when I read that stupid article.

"I'm telling you the silly shit these people come up with seems almost ..... hmm what's the word?...... unprecedented yeah that's it. Someone should remind Politico that their level of "journalistic" crap is almost unprecedented."

They fucking paid someone to count the number of times he's used the word and how many times it was used by previous presidents? Good grief.

9. Well you know. There's no money for investigative journalism. But this? well shit

they can pour tons of resources into.

8. They think the voting machines malfunctioned. In the sense they didn't

quite malfunction enough. So the election was invalid. Understandable.

10. Should we expect anything less from Politico? n/t

[baldguy]

11. Of course Obama is wrong - there IS precident for the treatment he's getting from the opposition.

From the early 1860s

[Arkana]

14. I can't help wondering how 1860 would have been different if the Internet

had existed.

[baldguy]

15. Imagine John Brown with a radio show.

[Arkana]

16. We have Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh.

Sure, Brown was an abolitionist, but I can imagine the tone and temper of the show would be much the same.

12. Number one on republican hate list is

they hate it because Obama won. They wanted a republican in office to continue the rape and pillage of this country. And Obama has had more slurs, lies, flames thrown at him than any other president, but if you go back in history you will see that the republicans have campaigned against any thing any democratic president has done. They are flat out jealous. Name a republican president that has had the charisma of FDR, JFK, Clinton, Obama and even Carter. The world loves democratic leaders. They love Carter for his selflessness for the homeless. And another point name just one republican president that has done any thing for the regular Americans in this country. None.

13. Everything the guy does has few precedents, seeing as how he's the first

black man in the chair he sits in each day.
