DOWN TO BASICS

Esquire asked who would win in a fist fight. Obama or Romney.

Guess who wins.

Americans Agree Obama Could Totally Kick Mitt's Ass

Now some will take this seriously. Others will find it amusing. Still others will probably disapprove such an unseemly question.

Not me.

I have only been in one fist fight in my life. I blocked the kid's swing and that was it.

I once saw a real one in Harvard Square. It was something. The energy. The power of it.

There was blood and there was crying.

I am sure that someone shit their pants. Maybe even one of us watching.

For sure, one of the men had a hard-on. It wasn't me, incidentally.

Violence is energizing. Adrenaline.

Is it relevant? Is it "unseemly"?.

Here is what I think. I have a friend who could and would totally kick anyone's ass who messed with me. Instantly. It is like having a hired gun. I have never called on that power. But I would if I needed to.

I have also gained a great deal of strength from him. I would hate to do it but I would not lose any fight I had to go into.

Brave talk? Bravado? Maybe.

But here is something I know. Rich boys could and would not fight. For anything.

If I am going to choose the President I want a fighter. Someone who is fit. LIke my friend. If called on he will do the job. And finishe it.

Do you think that Truman could have whipped Dewey's ass? Let me tell you. The answer is yes.

Nixon? No. He had his hired thugs and looked what happened.

Carter? Brotherly love. Forget it.

George W. Bush? Yes. Over the top. Eye gouging. Tripping.

Ahhh you say. He ran a rough government. Yes he did. Too much.

But he would have beat Al Gore's ass. And John Kerry too.

I just reflect on this.

I do not think that it is a dumb question. I think it is very important.

I think Obama would kick Mitten's ass and then help him up. A difference from W.

What's that? Mitt was a bully? That has nothing to do with the question. Being a bully means that there is always someone who can beat your ass and you know it.
