clouding the issues

This is one of the coolest things I've seen in a long time, though anyone who knows me knows that really isn't saying much.

It's refreshing to see presidential rhetoric in clouds rather than smokescreens. Scrolling back through the years gives a quick zeitgeist as well as insight into how language was used by each administration.

I can easily picture how a savvy speech writer could use this to evoke certain moods in the populace that would be imbued with the weight of history and an unconscious deja vu.
