Romney is now a fish out of water, flopping and gasping for breath.

America's Trust Fund Bully (tm) has lived a life of privilege, always getting his way because first daddy had money and power, then he had money and power. His world contained just two well-defined groups of people - co-conspirator sycophants, and small prey that could be dispatched in a flash using his power, money and connections.

Now he's facing a trained pugilist. One who's got some ring experience with big boys who punch. Punch hard. Folks like Hillary Clinton (Yikes!).

I'm sure that Romney's never had to deal with a solid right hook followed by a flurry of good jabs, and he clearly cannot take a punch. He's been looking distinctly rudderless for the past two weeks, a big "WTF!" is formed on his plaintive visage. The Chicago gang sure knows how to punch when it's about the thing closest to Obama - that is, of course, Obama himself. Romney is dazed, confused, and furious at the insolence. He's jumping about throwing wild, angry shots, which opens him up to more body blows. And they are coming, coming.

Great stuff!

But Romney's a fiendishly smart guy and loaded up with the 99%'s lunch money that he's made a career of stealing. He'll be purchasing lessons in the sweet science from folks like Karl Rove, the Angelo Dundee of the Dark Side. He'll be back with some (undoubtedly clumsy) footwork of his own, and perhaps a few punches. But boxing is not a sport that is easily learned, and it requires a patience and willingness to learn that Romney ain't got. I don't think this will go well for him.

Good luck to the President in kicking this predator's ass.
