An important fact to remember about President Obama..Chicago
He cut his political teeth on the Southside, not exactly the "best" part of town.

Given that Chicago politics is inherently corrupt, he overcame that by being himself.
Just being Barack. His wars with the Chicago and Illinois powers-that-be may only be
known in later years. But the fact remains, he rose above the corruption. The all too
long vetting, AKA Dem Primaries proved that. And, lets not forget (although it IS forgettable)
the GE campaign. He's for real, BUT, a politician doesn't rise above a political machine
by being a wimp. As Michelle aptly said: "You underestimate my husband at your peril".

My opinion? He plays chess, not checkers. Poker, not Black Jack.

1. My dear liberaltrucker!
Indeed...we must not underestimate his strength.

But let's hope the Republicans are doing just that, OK?

OT: How are you tonight? And where do your travels take you?

I'll kick that if for no other reason other than it's smart.
And I agree with his very lovely wife.

"At your peril".
