Sun Tzu, the famous Chinese general and military strategist, once said, “All men can see these tactics whereby I conquer, but what none can see is the strategy out of which victory is evolved.” Tzu’s premise was such that tactics, or what is seen, are built on strategy, which isn’t revealed until the battle has been fought. This statement is unequivocally true if there is a strategy mapped and executed against by a knowledgeable and battle-tested leader.
There has been much speculation about President Obama’s debate performance. Indeed, even former Vice President Al Gore lamented Obama’s lack of efficacy by blaming it on Denver’s altitude and the president’s lack of time to acclimate to it prior to the debate. One has to consider, however, that perhaps this is one democrat coming to the aid of another, or maybe the Nobel Prize winners must defend their own.
Of all the excuses and possibilities espoused by the left for Obama’s lethargic attempt at debate with presidential hopeful Romney, none has been stranger than what is now being tossed around in an attempt to re-write history. As laughable as it sounds, some leftist pundits have proclaimed, in boxing terms, that Obama’s tactic was to “take a dive” in an attempt to rally complacent democratic voters. Huh?
You read that correctly. Obama intentionally took a verbal stomping in order to rally complacent democratic voters to assure their presence at the polls on November 6th. The assumption, according to some on the left, is that many voters were so secure in their candidate’s re-election bid they wouldn’t come out to vote. But if, by some miracle, President Obama were to get pummeled in a nationally televised debate, supporters would be forced to come out in droves to vote for him.
Additionally, some leftists have presumed President Obama’s performance, or lack thereof, forced Governor Romney to show all his cards, effectively making him politically impotent prior to the second debate. Romney’s domestic and economic plans, as he played into a carefully laid democratic trap, would be dissected by the Obama camp and aired ad nauseum in pro-Obama campaign ads.
If this hilariously hypothesized tactic is really part of David Axlerod’s campaign strategy for President Obama, then this may go down as the most lopsided republican victory since Reagan/Carter in 1980. And if this tactic is in place then any and all future presidential candidates would do well to never hire anyone from Obama’s staff.

Ever hear of rope-a-dope?
WELL IF IT IS IT SHOULD TAKE UP ACTING, IF IT WAS FAKING, IT DID A GOOD JOB. AND THIS COULD VERY WELL BE, WE WILL SEE IN THE SECOND DEBATE IF IT’S BACK TO IT’S SWAGGERING STYLE.
The only campaign strategy that I see for Obama and the DemonRats is lying, cheating and stealing. They fight honest, clean elections by blocking voter ID because they can’t win honestly. The have to lie, cheat and steal to win. That’s how pathetic and sick these people are.
This point may be correct. And if it is, then have a plan to counter. But I truely believe Obummer came face to face with reality! He has nothing to run on! All the talking points of the left only half stand when they are by themselves in a room full of Lefty spew. When a voice of reason and real conservative thought enters the room the blast blows any other thought out of sight. He had no counter other than obvious lies. People who are raised in the tried and true ways of the founding fathers and paid attention to the messages left behind are prosperous. The lazy left would rather place their future in a get rich quick con that is sure to trap them. Lets just hope there are still enough conservative souls left in this country to try to fix it and turn it around. We will see!

Stupidity is NOT a strategy!The lack of speach writers and a telepropter has shown the world what a dud he really is.Ofcourse you can’t fix stupid,so he will still get votes.
Everyone seems to forget the 47% lefty loons sitting around their TVs and just waiting to go vote for OB to get their rightful Bennies. We need every possible vote, so even if they used the fixed machines the numbers voting for Romney would reflect strongly in the exit polls and if the machines came out showing Obama winning, there would be a strong case for investigation. I think that is what is going to be the final end game. Because the great pretender will try every dirty trick in or out of the book to get re-elected.
A rouse, a ploy. The first debate usually goes to the challenger and bozo knows it. Romney must be on his game in the next. Obomination will become the flim flam man in the next and talk jibberish on unknown issues.He will pump himself up and run the lies with all of the commercials planted before hand.
He has already started, with his planted story that Iran is suspending nuclear testing.
It was Rummy who lied in this debate. He was caught 11 times to be exact. One such lie came on his claim that he would cut taxes for the middle class. He said that he would cut tax rates to save them taxes and would pay for this with decreases in deductions, credits and exemptions. So he would give us a cut with the left hand and take it away with the right. The only word I can think of is: Mendacity.
