for sports that seem outwardly violent and chaotic to many, but they have something in common - some rise to champions, and others fall to obscurity. Keeping a cool head is paramount, whether your opponent is pounding on your back bumper or your ribs.

President Obama has already risen to championship caliber, in my book. The best make it look easy, and as natural as breathing. Rmoney, in contrast, reminds me of a carefully managed prospect who is falling apart now that he is meeting quality opposition. His record is increasingly suspect, and old fouls and disqualifications are coming to light.

I've seen the President do some things I did'nt like very much, and have seen him stymied time after time. I'm sure there were some backroom deals along the way that wer'nt so nice, either. But the difference between him and Rmoney is the difference between a champion and a punk.
