“What happened in the debate? Everybody wants to know,” radio host Tom Joyner asked Obama. “Was that some kind of genius strategy to rope-a-dope him in?”
The president ducked the Muhammad Ali comparison but said, “I think it’s fair to say I was just too polite.” He promised to be more combative at the second and third debates, to be held on Oct. 16 and 22. “We’re going to take it to him.”
Well you may try not to be ‘just too polite’ when negotiating with Russia, Taliban, Iran, North Korea, ect....
And how about that Romney, he was polite and won on the basis of knowing some simple Macro-Economics.
