On-side Kick

I would like to see President Obama do the political equivalent of what the New Orleans Saints did yesterday as they began the second half of the Super Bowl--surprise the hell out of everybody, break all convention, and do an on-side kick, score a touchdown, and then make a two-point conversion. That little package told the Colts that there was a new game in town. They were playing a team ready to do things that hadn't been practiced against; the Saints weren't just winning a game, they were showing a new way to play.

Barack Obama lets it be known that he watches the Super Bowl and he is smart enough to have instantly gotten this on Sunday night--great politicians see analogies everywhere. Look for his on-side kick any time now.
