Tough Words and "Unlikey Tutors"

Using terms such as "lawlessness," "anti-constitutional willfulness," and "political malfeasance," George Will writes a devastating critique of Congress and the Obama administration in his latest Washington Post column. He notes that Sweden, China, and Mexico are three countries who have recently become "unlikely tutors" of America.

Sweden has told Saab that the socialist country "is not prepared to own car factories." China is worried that America's dollar will no longer be a good investment. Mexico is giving America "needed instruction about fundamental rights and the rule of law." Their highest court last year affirmed for Mexicans the right of secret ballots in union elections, "a right the Democrats want to strip from Americans."

Karl Rove uses the term "duplicitnous" to describe the way Obama talks one way and acts another. That is a very tough, stinging word.
