Mitticism
A response to a question that begins by appearing to answer the question and ends by explaining that the speaker doesn't want to answer that question, at least not now, though there will be a time for that later.
Energy Policy Mitticism: "I have a different approach I think, generally, to the role of government as it relates to energy, as well as other aspects of our economy. And it flows from a growing perspective I have throughout my life and, frankly, during this campaign about the power of individuals as opposed to government, individuals pursuing their interests and dreams. I know that we have members of the media here right now, so I’m not going to go through that in great detail."
