Game, set . . . not quite match but getting close. Obama has to be the greatest debating counter-puncher of all time. You just can't bloody that pretty face of his, or dislodge a few of those gleaming teeth. And holding the debate on the same day as another dizzying Dow dive, well, it looks like his stars are aligned.
And speaking of stars, how about America's guy Joe the Plumber? One day the bloke is crawling under somebody's sink installing a garbage disposal, and the next day his name gets mentioned 20 times in a presidential debate. And make no mistake: Joe exposed Obama for the whole world to hear, as he unwittingly admitted his "spread the wealth" philosophy. Alas, the twin demons of Bush and financial meltdown render that encounter a sideshow when it should have been a defining moment. Hell, Obama could have told Joe, "If you buy that business, Joe, my comrades and I will seize your ill-gotten gains and banish you to the secret gulag I'm starting for rich people." In this climate, it wouldn't have mattered.
And speaking of his comrades, if I ever run into Warren Buffett I'm going to punch him in the face. How dare he foist his guilt-ridden tax the rich hogwash on those whose "wealth" contains far fewer zeroes than his. Redistribute your own dough, but leave the rest of us out of it, Buffy.
