Barack is Back

"Right on Barack!" That's what I said a few times while watching the second Presidential debate on the New York Times Website on Wednesday Morning China time. "It shouldn't have taken you two debates to start showing your true colors", I said, "you should wear them all over yourself all of the time".

Barack is no longer the "yes we can" man of 2008, but he obviously still has plenty of fight in him and plenty of rhetorical skills to show it. The Barack of 16 October in Hofstra, New York, is the guy I would always like to see in every encounter he might have with his opponents: articulate, clear-minded, objective, expressive, unforgiving, proud of his accomplishments, and confident as a qualified and deserving US president should be.

Mitt is quite coherent as well, but his problem doesn't reside in his rhetorical abilities, but in the lack of substance in his message (by the way, what's his message?) No, Mitt, you may fool all of the people some of the time and you may fool some of the people all of the time, but I don't think you managed to fool any extra people on Tuesday night. No way.

There's really not much to say about that which we all saw in the Presidential Debate on Tuesday the 16th, except perhaps for "Good to have you back, Barack!"

May you be well.
