Newsweek inadvertently prints the truth
A Con Game, Indeed
Looks like the smarty pants folks over at Newsweak let one slip by their steel trap minds. In this week’s issue, dedicated to shilling for President Barry (as usual), they ran a photo of their fearless leader and inadvertently included the caption ‘The Confidence Game.’
Evidently, nobody at Newsweak knows that a ‘confidence game’ is defined as…
confidence game
–noun
| any swindle in which the swindler, after gaining the confidence of the victim, robs the victim by cheating at a gambling game, appropriating funds entrusted for investment, or the like. |
Also called, British, confidence trick.
More colloquially, a ‘con game.’
Yes, Newsweak is right, but for the wrong reasons!

Let’s don’t tell them so they keep printing the truth…OK? :-)
They certainly didn’t intend to print the truth in this case. Haha!
Obama, Pelosi, and Geitner will appear on television this week, to tell us they found a briefcase with $100 billion, and if each American will just give them some cash to hold, they’ll trust us to hold onto the briefcase until we meet up again to split it. . . .
Now, that’s quite a game of confidence!
