Senator Obama has a daunting task in dealing with Hillary Clinton. The parallel is that of a grade school boy that has a problem with a girl classmate. She challenges him to a fight. The boy is in a difficult position: if he fights her and loses, he will ashamed from then on. If he wins, other students will say that a boy is stronger than a girl, and he will lose many friends for beating a girl. Either way he loses.

Mr. Obama has walked on eggs in receiving Hillary's attacks. If he returns the negative attacks, he will lose women's votes since he is considered a bully to the fairer sex. Yet, if he keeps quiet, he might be considered not strong enough to face attacks from his opponents.

Right now Mr. Obama has to wait for the time Hillary calling quits. In the mean time, he has been polite and cordial to her: always calling her by her title: SENATOR Clinton. Yes, he needs her supporters when he becomes the nominee. OTOH while John McCain promised to treat Mr. Obama with respect by calling him Senator, Mr. Obama never called McCain by his title. He always referred as John McCain. Not even Mister nor Senator.

Just watch when all the dust has settled, Mr. Obama will come out swinging at John McCain. This skinny guy with a funny name is not a pushover. After all, he grew up in many strange places where bullies are there as well.

Have a nice evening.
