Reply #36: Obama Uses That Yin-Yang Jedi Magic to Use Clinton's Energy Against Her

[DrFunkenstein]

He is stepping up his game in exactly the right way - by using Clinton's own shortcomings against herself so that the force of the blow seems to come from herself, rather than from him. It is a pretty amazing example of political judo, and something that (I must admit) I didn't think Obama had in his arsenal.

On top of that, his criticisms about her pandering and such are specifically designed to highlight his own strengths. If these guys had this planned and were just holding back, it would be spooky. But I think what actually happened was that Obama proved (perhaps to himself, as well) that he could step up to the plate when it mattered.
