More chutzpah than King Canute; Obama can change the definition in a dictionary at will.

It Depends On What Your Definition Of “Tax” Is
...Barack Obama promised the American people: “If you’re a family that’s making $250,000 a year or less, you will see no increase in your taxes.” ...Obama reiterated that pledge, promising the American people in his September 9th health care press conference: “The middle-class will realize greater security, not higher taxes.” But as ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos pointed out to the President this weekend, Obama will break his promise to the American people if he signs a health care bill that includes an individual or employer mandate.
In an exchange that can only be described as “Clintonesque” Stephanopoulos was forced to read the definition of “tax” straight from Merriam Webster’s Dictionary, but even then Obama refused to acknowledge reality: “George, the fact that you looked up Merriam’s Dictionary, the definition of tax increase, indicates to me that you’re stretching a little bit right now. … Nobody considers that a tax increase.” Really? Nobody?...
Of all Obama's interviewers this past Sunday, only George Stephanopoulos came close to asking a semi-hard question when he queried the President if the mandated fine of $3K for those who don't sign on for health insurance wasn't a tax. Obama insisted it wasn't although Stefa dragged out his Merriam-Webster to prove that it was. Obama dismissed the dictionary as he must have done when he spoke of things being "wee-wee'd up". Not only is Obama charismatic, he is neologismatic. It's worse than Clintonesque. It's out of Alice in Wonderland when the Queen of Hearts insists her words mean whatever she wants them to mean, no more and no loess.
