Your example is dangerous territory for political discussion here. The Obama example cited was intentionally misquoted (by providing a snippet without the full context) to make him bad.
Government PR to a certain degree is a good thing to promote support and appreciation for programs, but it can get into dangerous territory when wielded with the intent to deceive (as we're now seeing).

- Buttons840 8y agoI've wondered if this is part of why politicians are so long winded and won't directly answer questions. Not just so they can appear neutral and avoid answering hard questions, but if they actually say something meaningful in a few words it will probably be taken out of context and used against them.
