Grandmaster of the Great Game

[Mosiah]

Yes...It's not impossible that some version of his Obama The Geo-Political Grandmaster thesis may come to pass

It's far too early to proclaim such a sweeping achievement now... But Obama has definitely retrieved SOME of the respect the US has lost by its excessive warmongering and illegal regime change ops

That's a significant re-positioning that should be noted fi choo

But a word to the wise: One Bruised Gelding was proclaimed by a veteran Rum Bar anal-yst as a political Chess Master...

That Chess Master ended up promptly being checkmated and dumped in the dustbin of history

Heh heh!

True, but I know Bruce, and Bruce is no Barack!

If the critical thinker and the bangarang chessmaster played each a game of chess who would win? The one who has been less wrong? Tough call.
