Obama's New Brand Of Politics

More of this will be written about as Obama re-defines how politics is played in America, but Taegan Goddard begins the sports metaphors:
"Politics used to be compared to "playing hardball" -- named for the baseball thrown faster than a speeding bullet straight for a batter's head or the dangerous squeeze play used to push home the winning run. That's no longer the case. In the Obama era, the sport can now better be defined as "playing curveball" -- after the moving, shifting baseball thrown to fool a batter into swinging wildly and missing."
How many times has Obama been under-estimated over the past 2 years? It's like he's won two Cy Young awards and we still don't know if he's good. Relax. He's an ace.

Bush, in baseball terms, is the rich kid who inherited a great baseball team and drove it into the ground, thus ruining the team and his family name.

He would have been the owner who introduced illegal activities to his team. Bush would have gone against the spirit of the game and the decades old traditions, as well just common sense, and bought the steroids for his players! As if that matters to Bush.
