Hey, Michelle, What's this word "Democracy?" Get my dictionary

Sobering, Muravchic: The Abandonment of Democracy

In early April, former New York Times correspondent Joel Brinkley summed up the administration's initial performance:

Neither President Obama nor Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has even uttered the word democracy in a manner related to democracy promotion since taking office more than two months ago. The State Department's Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor has put out 30 public releases, so far, and not one of them has discussed democracy promotion. Democracy, it seems, is banished from the Obama administration's public vocabulary.
