Family, re-defined

You want to know what's scary?  Family can always get worse.

The Obama administration didn’t invent the phrase but has taken it to new heights.
“Under the direction of President Obama and Secretary Janet Napolitano, the entire federal family is leaning forward to support our state, tribal and territorial partners along the East Coast,” a FEMA news release declared Friday as Irene churned toward landfall.
The G-word — “government” — has been nearly banished, with FEMA instead referring to federal, state and local “partners” as well as “offices” and “personnel.”

So, if use of the term "Federal Family" has been incrementally increasing since the Clinton administration, when do you think they'll roll out the phrase "dear leader?"
