The language suffers most when terms are adopted by campaigns and reinterpreted or distorted to fit their agenda. Instead of a word changing meaning through common usage they turn that on its head and attempt to get people to use the term as they define it. Personally, when I hear Obama talk about hope, I think he must mean "I hope I can accomplish all I'm promising to do".
