Obama Gives the GOP a Lesson in Leadership - But did they listen?

To the victor the spoils!

President Obama has shown his mettle by accepting an invitation into the Great Obstructionist Party's Lions' Den, with the same amount of success as that Daniel come to justice in the Old Book to which Christians and others look to know to whom they must look to be safe.

From the tired old pachyderms in the pens on the right side of the Senate assembly hall, there was no change, except that their exploding veins to which the nation became attached during the Tea-Parties Madness has been transplanted by those with more elasticity.

That was a welcome change, and it is notable that they did not dent the armour of their enemy, mainly because when they charged at him with trunks flailing, tusks ready to gore, sounding all the beauty that is in the bellow of the blast, they set off in the wrong direction. Nothing is more conducive to getting nowhere than to be going nowhere, and that is where each and every one of them ended up.

The odds against Mr Obama were 100:1, despite which he played with them as a cat plays with a mouses. At last the US has a leader that can think on his feet in the great tradition of British Premiers, that face questions from all sides of the house in a weekly half-hour session.

Weere that to be adopted in the US, then not only the quality of the leaders would be hung out for all to see, but also the pusillanimity of the 'Don't Help Good Things to Happen When You Can Prevent Them' party would be exposed

Sensible people were not surprised that El Presidente - who does NOT walk on water - wrong-footed the big kids in the GOP's Kindergarten playgroup time after time and stood head and shoulders above his tormentors in dignity, communications, comprehension, and responses.

He needs to be seen against this kind of backdrop with regularity, taking on Democrats, Independents, and Republicans, to straighten out their distorted understanding of the main issues that face the nation and will do so for several years.

I marked the final score as 100 round to the man in the blue corner, and zero rounds for the red mob.

So, Barack Obama remains the Champion by a knockout from which the GOP might never recover.

Go America!

"Americans have a right to know why the GOP/RNC, hangers on, and fellow travellers hate America and Americans so vehemently that they believe that "We The People" are Gullible and Stupid enough to be lied to time and time again without finding out that liars deal in lies."
