16. I parse Obama like I parse Michael Moore...

(and like Michael Moore parses others)

Obama never actually said he would not sign any HCR bill unless that bill had a public option, but he did say a great many things that led people to that conclusion. He said "should have...", "must have...", and "I think that..." an awful lot, though.

He's big on qualifiers.

I don't know as much about FOCA (yet), but I wouldn't be surprised if it was the same.

GHW Bush didn't have qualifiers.
