So, the Canadian embassy has just unequivocally denied that anyone from the Obama campaign (or the Clinton campaign, for that matter) had contacted anyone at the Canadian embassy regarding NAFTA.

Open foot, insert mouth.

What I don't understand is the response to Obama's campaign, denying the allegations. Apparently the beef is over the choice of the word "inaccurate".

Let's see what "inaccurate" means (from Dictionary.com -- emphasis added):

in·ac·cu·rate /ɪnˈækyərɪt/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[in-ak-yer-it]  –adjective not accurate; incorrect or untrue.

[Origin: 1730–40; in-3 + accurate]
—Related formsin·ac·cu·rate·ly, adverb in·ac·cu·rate·ness, noun

—Synonyms inexact, loose; erroneous, wrong, faulty.

As we can see, "inaccurate" means WRONG, ERRONEOUS, INCORRECT, UNTRUE

Just because the main word is "accurate" does not mean there is somehow still truth in what is being denied. I guess the Obama campaign should have said the report was inaccurate and wrong.

Anyone else think this a mite silly?
