Float like a butterfly, and sting like a bee!

I enjoy watching the campaign rallies of Barrack Obama (thanks to Youtube). The style of Obama's speeches reminds me of Mohammed Ali, the heavy weight boxer, at his peak. Ali was not known for his heavy knockout punches. But he could dance around his opponent, easily ducking away from the heavy punches, and give stinging jabs in return. Usually by the fifth or sixth round the opponent is so beat up that it would look like he is begging Ali to put him out of his misery. Like Ali, Obama has a way of easily brushing away the accusations of John McCain, and give back smarting retorts. For example, in reply to the memorable barb by McCain in the thiird debate, ‘I am not President Bush. If you wanted to run against President Bush, you should have run four years ago’, Obama has come back with the statement, “I am not blaming McCain for all the mistakes of George Bush. He has supported the policies of Bush only 90% of the time!’ In answer to a question if he was going to start a new negative campaign against McCain, his answer was, ‘we do not throw the first punch; only the last one!’ He concludes his rallies with, ‘George Bush and John McCain are out of ideas, and out of touch with the needs of you people. If you stick with me the next few days, they are going to be out of time!’

Only sixteen more days to go for November 4^th. Cannot wait to see Barrack Obama win in a landslide. But I will miss the sheer delight of seeing him campaigning!
