He's just too Active!
The pundits and the opposition can't keep up!
Just when he got back from a whirldwind tour,
in where he did so much he took their breath away,
so they just settled on making Michelle the story instead
Now, after just a one day rest,
he's at it again, pouncing out of the gate....
This time its Home loan refinancing, Veteran care,
and OH NOES!!! now he's talking about Immigration! :scared:
and the pundits are still trying to catch up on the weapons cuts,
what he got or didn't get in Europe,
whether he should have visited Afhganistan instead of Iraq....
Did he bow or did he not?
And gosh darn it, the market is up like 300 point this week already,
so would seem a bit silly crying too hard about what he hasn't done for the economy yet,
never mind the budget!!
What to do, what to do?
Heck! And the pundits just wanted to cover the damn Pirates today!
Well, it Looks to me like Barack Obama is at war....
and he has decided to use overwhelming force.
In war, then, let your great object be victory, not lengthy campaigns.
Though we have heard of stupid haste in war, cleverness has never been seen associated with long delays.
To fight and conquer in all your battles is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting.
If your enemy is secure at all points, be prepared for him. If he is in superior strength, evade him. If your opponent is temperamental, seek to irritate him. Pretend to be weak, that he may grow arrogant. If he is taking his ease, give him no rest. If his forces are united, separate them. If sovereign and subject are in accord, put division between them. Attack him where he is unprepared, appear where you are not expected.
The enemy can be forced to an engagement even though he be sheltered behind a high rampart and a deep ditch. All we need do is attack some other place that he will be obliged to relieve. If we do not wish to fight, we can prevent the enemy from engaging us even though the lines of our encampment be merely traced out on the ground. All we need do is to throw something odd and unaccountable in his way.
If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.
- Sun Tzu, the Art Of War
