You just proved that my comment makes sense.

Obama is not bullying the bullies. He's just standing up to them. Which is what you should always do with bullies. Obama standing up is the only thing bullies fear.


I was speaking of bullies in general. The last thing bullies want is a fair fight because what they "fear" is it being discovered that they don't have what it takes to win. They "solve" that potential problem by preying upon those who appear to be either too scared or too vulnerable to fight back.

Mitt thought that defeating Obama would be as simple as damming him with both his race and Bush II's sins. Mitt's fatal error was in not realizing that he has far more vulnerabilities than Obama, who naturally started preying upon them purely in self-defense. And what is the Romney camp's response? To paraphrase the title of this very thread, "He's fighting back, and he's winning -- NO FAIR!!!"

Bullying is wrong. Bullying back is when you have no other line of defense is a line of defense.

IT'S THE TAX RETURNS, STUPID!!!!!

You're making the EXACT SAME MISTAKE that McCain did, Mitt!

2008: In appointing Sarah Palin as his vice presidential running mate, John McCain has taken his own trump card off the table. The only real weapon he’s had is Obama’s youth and inexperience -- and he’s flip-flopped by choosing a running mate who is even MORE youthful and inexperienced!

2012: By refusing to publish his tax returns (something that presidential candidates have been doing for decades), Mitt Romney has taken his own trump card off the table. The only real weapon he’s had is the support of independent and swing voters disgruntled by Obama's lack of "change" -- and he's thrown it away by refusing to display the most basic level of financial transparency!

But this story has a happy ending -- the decision was reversed and the referee fired.
