Make No Mistake. Let Me Be Clear. I Will Not Rest Until...

Let us all hope the Obamas enjoy their Martha?s Vineyard vacation . What?s not to enjoy, a cynic might add, about a 10 day hideaway in a private estate said to rent to most mortals for around $50,000 a week? But since I?m not a cynic, I won?t ask.

But I do have one request. Can the president (or his speechwriters) at least now put to rest one of his most cloying (much worse than ?make no mistake? or let me be clear...?) verbal tics.

I am referring to his incessantly repeated ?I will not rest until....?

? businesses are investing and hiring:

? everyone has a job, a good wage, & benefits;

? YouTube compilation of 8 Obamian ?I will not rest[s]...?

? 11 ?I will not rest[s]? noted by CBS News

Now let me be clear: Mr. President, go ahead, rest, please! But make no mistake, change will not be easy, but yes [you] can change this irritating rhetorical habit even though

[t]here will be setbacks, and false starts, and sometimes we will make mistakes. But as hard as it may seem, we cannot lose hope.

I hope not, for I would surely love to see ?I will not rest until...? buried in its final resting place.
