"By the way, I've been called worse on the basketball court. It's not that big a deal," .Man, he is tough guy with thick skin. Obama has survived the verbal attacks of the basketball court and lived to run for president. I too have suffered from the verbal banter of the basketball court. I am tougher man for it too.
I went into last night's McCain speech feeling that Obama and I have something in common, we can handle any kind of verbal attacks because of our basketball court experiences. I yawned through Tom Ridges speech feeling invincible. As I was about to snooze, the introduction video for McCain played describing the tourture he experienced, the confinement for 5.5 years in a Hanoi prison and his self determination to recover and move forward with his life. For the first time it really hit me, this man is tough as nails.
Who do I want staring at our enemies, a man who can take a verbal jab on the basketball court or a man that has looked our enemies straight in the eye, absorbed their literal body blows and continued to fight the fight.
Obama, you and I are verbally tough guys. Our sensitivity to basketball court banter has developed scars for our sensitive selves, but when it comes to being physically and mentally tough, Obama and I are a couple of wussies when you compare us to John McCain or the many others that have served this country.
In a dangerous world, who do you want leading the nation? The basketball court tough guy or the worldly tough guy?
