There is a big news story today about how the President looked and sounded this week during his campaign stop in Louisiana. A reporter wrote that he seemed subdued, did not insult with the same vigor and talked only a short time. Included in his talk was how hard this was on his family.
This reporter's reaction was exactly what the President wanted. He wants to mislead his enemies into thinking they are besting him. He know this is when they get careless and make mistakes. When they do he will pounce.
The President has perfected this "hang dog" act in years of negotiating. He will explode with energy when he senses the time is right.
