An excuse in advance

It's almost time, and I'm warming up my electric teevee for the big speech. In preparation I read the CNN preview and came across:

"It's very much a thematic, visionary speech," said the senior administration official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity in order to speak more candidly ahead of Obama's address.


Translated to ordinary English,  this means the president hasn't much of a clue about what he will actually do.

"...my electric teevee..."

Forgive me, but when I read that my brain immediately defaulted to, "As opposed to the old gas-powered teevee in the shed."

I think that's about what the guy I stole it from had in mind. :)
