We don't play chess...

We are checkers-jumping rednecks.

The President is playing chess. He has put his pawns out front knowing his opponents will move a couple of knights up front to capture them.

Then he sends a couple of bishops to check the knights and to protect his pawns.

In the meantime, we are making a triple jump all the way to the king's row.

King me!

2. I think he's playing the "give opponent all your pieces" gambit

That one never worked for me, but I only learned a handful of openings...

5. 'King's gambit' was my beginner's strategy (and I most often lost until I stopped using it)
More info for those who want to brush up Chess:

Does anybody know whether Obama ever actually played chess?
