3. Your quibbling about words that are different without a distinction
Edited on Wed Aug-11-10 04:07 AM by grantcart
edited to add what Gibbs said would be accepted as "Broadly suggesting that there is no difference between Barack Obama" by any reasonable person.


The rest of what he said was aimed at the people who equate Bush with Obama. Unless you accept that equation then the words have no meaning. Rational people will agree that even if there is strong policy disagreements with Obama that equating Obama with Bush is dellusional, making a reference to the influence of drugs to arrive at it was a gentle poke at what all but a few individuals will agree is rhetorical absurdity.
