3. Did Michael Corleone Play Chess Or Checkers?

[stopbush]

4. Considering who he's up against, he's playing rope-a-dope.

[Balbus]

33. Now that you've been roped, how do you feel?

[JoePhilly]

6. Neither.

Those are games used as the basis to construct analogies to spur discussion. Neither is better than the other. And Obama isn't doing either one.

I guess you could add football, baseball, boxing, frezbee golf, race car driving, cooking, home building, etc. Adn then ask which is the BEST analogy ... that might be fun.

9. This

is the level of the debate: cartoons, bad photoshops and snark.

[JoePhilly]

12. I used to come to DU for the "level of debate" ...

And at times, I can still find an actual debate.

But I also came because DU can be a circus. And I like the circus!!

I just posted a thread which I intend to be a serious discussion ... so far, almost no responses.

I'll keep watching it ... but if its inactive, I'll go to the circus.

13. Go find some new analogies to smear the President with.

This one expired June 2009.

[Cali_Democrat]

16. Can you explain to me how this poll is a smear?

[Cali_Democrat]

20. So are you going to stand by your statement that I'm smearing Barack Obama by posting this poll?

Asking whether he's playing chess or checkers is a smear?

21. Obama is playing Chess and the GOP is playing tiddly winks

The GOP fires a preemptive wink across Obama's bow and Obama lays down his queen in defeat.

[mix]

22. More like Monopoly nt

[ZombieHorde]

23. He is playing politics. nt

[bigwillq]

24. As all politicians do.

Never for once did I think Obama would be anything but a politician.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

31. Neither Did I

But that doesn't make him a bad man or bad politician.

[bigwillq]

34. Did I say he was?

:shrug:

[saras]

25. Depends...

If you believed Obama was really some sort of progressive, the cartoon is a spot-on political cartoon.

If you looked at his record, on the other hand, it's not so funny.

re snark - Google sez...
