Mr. Harden is correct. It was Mr. Obama who had to close the sale in order to prove that he is not an “Empty Suit” taking up desk space in the Oval Office.
Mr. Romney played it perfectly. By not getting mired down in the Benghazi mud Gov. Romney can be assured that the Media would keep it front & center until Election Day.
Gov. Romney, with the help of Clint Eastwood’s “Empty Chair Speech”, has already sprung the “October Surprise” because his Teleprompter didn’t show up for the first debate – Classic Sun Tzu – Double –Envelopment.
“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.” ― Sun Tzu
Mr. Obama by virtue of his arrogance is still unaware that he has been had.
Gov. Romney by not being too bellicose gave the Moderates a place to go to on November 6th. It is a matter of Sun Tzu’s basic axioms:
“When you surround an army, leave an outlet free. Do not press a desperate foe too hard.” ― Sun Tzu
“Build your opponent a golden bridge to retreat across.” ― Sun Tzu
Anyone just dropping in from Mars would have thought that Romney was the incumbent president.
“The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.” ― Sun Tzu, The Art of War
On November 7th let it be so.
Hmmmm......I wonder if Mr. Romney was aware of Sun Tzu's tactics prior to the first debate? It looks to me as if President Obama was quite aware, since he certainly gave Romney some outlets during that first debate. Too many, I thought. Our president did not present well during that first debate.
A debate is the perfect time to press a foe. I can't believe Romneyites are hiding behind Romney's failure to engage last night and calling it good. When President Obama did the very same thing during the first debate, Romneyites were calling our president weak.
It either is or it ain't, but it cain't be both.
romney isnt the incumbent on this issue PB.
for your candidate its too little too late. Romney went after anti war moderates. He has beat obama on all the other task PB. Its a good thing for him to not blow it by strong war mongering rhetoric. sorry you dont see it that way.
I realize that everybody wanted a fist fight, but we already had the fist fights, this show was a final look at presidential material, and to see if he had knowledge and he does, even though obama has the advantage of actually being the CIC. He did well against that. kept his cool, made obama make an ass out of himself tossing out childish one liners. The kids will like that, its good for a laugh. But serious people will laugh, then realize we need a adult in office.
I like fist fights. However after studying this I realize it was strategy this time.
I think they done exactly what they wanted to do. They made romney look more anti war than obama. Youll see.
