One meaning of oblique - there are other definitions, in grammar, physiology and geometrical - is indirect or misleading. Thus you might say a politician gave oblique answers to questions in an interview. Obtuse also has meanings in geometry, though a common meaning refers to a person who lacks sharpness of intellect, is not clear in expression or thought. There is also the sense in which a person might be deliberately obtuse in order to annoy or mislead.
