Float Like a Butterfly, Sting Like a Bee
Boxing analogies seem to be ruling here lately. As a boxing fan I am quite happy about this. Also I like the idea of casting Obama as Muhammad Ali. The GREATEST OF ALL TIME!!!! So what if he is running a rope a dope here. It looks like he is going to do quite well in Wyoming and Mississippi despite Hillary’s barrage of attacks these last couple of weeks. Meanwhile just looking at Olbermann’s reaction to her “Threshold to be commander in chief” comment yesterday, along with the comment sections here and on other political blogs responding to the stories of her new and varied attacks it seems like she may already be over reaching. Does she plan on keeping this up for 7 straight weeks? If she does she be going in to Pennsylvania looking like a cross between Mitt Romney and Lee Atwater. I know that the media and most Obama supporters would like him to punch back just like the announcers and Ali fans wanted him to go after Forman, but for right now the smart thing to do may be to tuck his chin, keep his guard up and let her punch herself out.





I agree with your comments. I don't think he should give in and lower himself to her level. Taking the high road takes more of a real fighter than one who can deliver sucker punches.
