There was this young Israeli who was captured by cannibals. They put him in the cooking pot and were about to light the fire, when he expressed one last wish: “Please box my ears!” When the cannibal chief obliged, the Israeli jumped up, leveled his Uzi and mowed down his captors. “If you had the Uzi all the time, why didn’t you use it before?” he was asked. “I can’t do this unless I am angry,” he replied. Barack Obama’s debating performance reminds me of this joke. At the first confrontation he was listless and lifeless. He just wanted the silly thing to end.There was this young Israeli who was captured by cannibals.
