Somehow in recent months, the media has been calling speaking the
truth a
"gaffe" . For instance, when Romney told a British reporter that he could see some potential problems with the coming Olympic games...our media called that a gaffe. The man who had salvaged our own Olympics was correct..the Brits had to detail troops to fill the stands..along with other snags; he was correct!
Previously a gaffe was when a person hurt their own cause by
inadvertantly speaking the truth. Here, Joe Biden admits the "middle class" has been
buried for the last 4 years..
