Hypocrisy

I've been looking for a good example of this word because people often confuse it with "underachievement". Fortunately, I have a lesson in current events to clear this misinterpretation up.

Here are Obama's recent words regarding the Ukraine:

"However, we are now deeply concerned by reports of military movements taken by the Russian Federation inside of Ukraine. Russia has a historic relationship with Ukraine, including cultural and economic ties and a military facility in Crimea. But any violation of Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity would be deeply destabilizing, which is not in the interests of Ukraine, Russia or Europe. It would represent a profound interference in matters that must be determined by the Ukrainian people."

Here are what those words would look like if Obama wasn't a hypocrite:

"However, we are now deeply concerned by reports of military movements taken by the United States inside of Iraq. The United States has no historic relationship with Iraq, excluding previous unjustified bombings and invasions. But any violation of Iraq's sovereignty and territorial integrity would be deeply destabilizing, which is not in the interests of Iraq, The United States, or The Middle East. It would represent a profound interference in matters that must be determined by the Iraqi people."

These are empty words made by a political puppet. He's not a hypocrite by accident, which could be said for all hypocrites. There is a design to the hypocrisy and as long as people fear change we will ignore the cues and be led by a fabrication of power.
