It is quite interesting to sit back and look at people's character and hence observe their methods. In the latter segment of this race we have had several shots at the character and general persona of both Obama and Clinton.

I have noted that they have unique approaches to how they handle the "back against the wall" situations. For instance, when Hillary gets her back trapped against that wall, she comes out fighting. She goes on the attack, throws in some low blows and shoves her opponent to the other side of the ring. Some in the press labels has as a fighter. Someone who bulldogs her way back to her spot in the ring and keeps fighting. We have seen her style throughout the campaign.

I have also noted Obama's approach when his back gets jabbed against the wall. He takes a calculated pause and rather than come out swinging, he simply rises. We have seen this when he was under attack during that Bill Clinton debacle earlier in the year, it was again seen recently in the Texas election cycle and now its being portrayed again in this Wright situation. He simply rises.

I have read hundreds of posts where supporters are begging him to come out swinging, go negative, attack her on her past.. etc.. etc. He never seems to listen to these requests. He takes pause and then rises.

He did just this again yesterday with his speech in response to the Wright and other issues. He simply came to the fore without as much as a single punch. No one, in their right mind, can say that his speech was anything other than brilliant. Just about every media outlet proclaims such. It has left the Hillary crew speechless. Obama rose again yesterday.

I am not sure what these approaches from two great candidates says but its interesting how they handle "back against the wall" situations. Seems to me like Obama would be the calming influence in the middle of a crisis while Hillary might be a little offset by the intensity of the event. I am not sure!

Maybe you have a better perspective than I do on these two unique approaches.
