"stay the course" and snow

Ok so first I just want you to know that I LOVE SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!! Half day snowday today= amazing, full day snowday tomorrow= even more amazing, I'm going sleding, and making a snowman, and everything! but this was not really the point of my post, well it was half the point, just so I could share my love. but seriously, ok this article talks about how Bush and his administration being forced to change the language they are using about the iraq war. Tell me what you think, about both subjects!

This just goes to show how much public perception of events can change language. As Nate pointed out, the phrase has evolved from one meaning to another, but this is mainly due to how the public views the war in Iraq. Quite honestly, there has not been much recent progress in Iraq, and so now the phrase "stay the course" really has come more to describe the policy of not getting anything done.
