Believe what I say, not what I do

"I am deeply concerned about the Lebanese people and what they are enduring," Rice said before meeting (Lebanese parliament speaker Nabih) Berri. "I am obviously concerned about the humanitarian situation."

Now I'm no expert on rhetoric or anything, but isn't it normally the case that when a speaker goes to the trouble of informing his or her audience that something is obvious that in fact the opposite is true?
