Today's lesson, Comrades, is to add a new term to our ObamaSpeak vocabulary to enable us to remember important relationships between or among various phrases typically not well understood by the masses.
It requires us to practice the linguistic skill derisively characterized as "euphemizing" by people too poorly educated to understand the power of the process by which skilled euphemizing can transform (or even transmogrify) a ordinary, pedestrian, concept or thing into something quite extraordinary.
Today's lesson is to learn that "Strategic Patience" is a skillful euphemization of "Strategic Constipation." The latter wrongly denotes an inability to perform an important task, but properly euphemized, it connotes the ability and wisdom of avoiding expulsion of rigid accumulations of what was needed in the past.
The news-photograph (from The Peoples Ministry of Intimate PhotoShopping) immediately below shows Obama contemplating and then conceiving euphemization of strategic constipation as strategic patience.
But we need to be mindful that this process can be quite challenging even for a even a skilled practitioner such as President Obama, who, as shown in the picture above, is struggling mightily to transmogrify an excretionary failure into a contemplative success.
