Obamadominance: Once More And Then I'll Drop It Until Next Time

Yesterday on ATC speculation on the sudden sloppiness of Obamacamp, renowned for discipline, suddenly leaking in crippling ways, and to be honest, such obamawe I have for his superior games-playing skills, I assumed the leaks were deliberate and the task wasn't to ask why the leaks but what the leaks signified.

But what if this is a stumble? Obama stumbled in the primaries and stumbled in the general election campaign, adjusted to new circumstances, learned the old rules, wrote a few new rules, kicked ass. I'm still awaiting my pints.

He's a scary motherfucker, yes, the best gamesplayer of this generation. He's betting that he's better than you at what you're best at, and I'm not betting again him.

I won't be happy with the brutally efficient corporatist empire he builds (though I'll live happily and relatively guilt free it in, sacrificing none of my comforts in protest of American narco-policy in Colombia), but I'll be fascinated watching him get there.
