"...pick yourself up...dust yourself off..and get back in the game."
"That's life." An old Frank Sinatra song.

Is that what Obama needs to do today? Life is not always a box of cherries, as someone famous once said.
You have your good days and you have your bad days. The ability to bounce back is a positive human quality. Some call it resilience.

But Barack Obama is a basketball player. He knows that sometimes you get the ball slammed down your throat and you just have to try harder and smarter on the next play. He is not going to give up. You haven't even seen him fight yet. He was trying to save that for the Republicans, but he may be forced to show his hand? A steal, a behind-the-back dribble, a drive to the basket, and a slam dunk in your face.

Just keep your eye on the ball. One play does not win the game or lose the game. Even if it is a bad call by the zebras. Obama will be back. You can bet on it. He will win this game.

:-)

peace
