The President plays poker…hmmm.

I listened to Thomas Lifson on Rush the other day where he was explaining that President Bush’s governing style comes straight out of the Harvard MBA playbook. It struck me as correct, but try as I might I couldnt find the article on Rush’s website since I hadnt heard the Professors name. Well here is his Blog….hehe. Great stuff. If I were a Democrat I would be very worried because they are being played for suckers right now. Here is a taste of a very good article.

By reputation, the President was a very avid and skillful poker player when he was an MBA student. One of the secrets of a successful poker player is to encourage your opponent to bet a lot of chips on a losing hand. This is a pattern of behavior one sees repeatedly in George W. Bush�s political career. He is not one to loudly proclaim his strengths at the beginning of a campaign. Instead, he bides his time, does not respond forcefully, a least at first, to critiques from his enemies, no matter how loud and annoying they get. If anything, this apparent passivity only goads them into making their case more emphatically.Only time will tell, whether Saddam ever had any WMDs. Their non-existence has not been proven. Only time will tell whether or not Osama bin Laden (or his corpse) will be taken into custody by American Troops. Only time will tell whether or not Iraq will continue to make progress toward a transition toward a peaceful democratic government. George W. Bush knows much more information about these topics than his domestic political opponents do. At the moment, they are betting a lot of their chips on one side of these questions.
