Among many things I am learning from President Obama is that names govern reality. That calling one’s enemies one’s “partners” automatically makes them collaborative; that calling acts of terror “man-made disasters” somehow makes them tolerable; and that the economy will be prompted to grow simply by re-branding unchecked spending as a “stimulus package.”

In case that a “stimulus package” fails to create jobs, let’s try again and call it a “jobs bill.” It will work now!
