Daily Kos :: Comments The Viability of Obama, Part II -- The Meaning of Toughness

Do you know anything about Aikido? (2+ / 0-)

Here's a Wikipedia link if you are interested.

It's not that Obama can't fight. It's that he uses techniques and methods that preserve the integrity of the process and turn the "enemies'" energies against themselves.

It's a beautiful thing to watch and almost unheard of in the political arena until now...

Just my 2 cents...

Please make some calls for Barack!

    for a while. I think it all the more apt as we progress in the election.
    
    My daughter and I always laugh about how Obama can slam you out of no where and then extend a hand to help you back up.
    
    I don't think Hillary even knows what hit her.
    
    Thanks for the links. Fun to read them! :)
    
    Please make some calls for Barack!
