Mr. Obama is a very patient man.

We have witnessed this over and over again. He displayed it at the debate on Tuesday. Waiting till his closing to bring up the 47%. I think perhaps this is how he is pacing the final days of his campaign. Holding his fire at the 1st debate (though he may have mis-calibrated), to build toward election day. I think he has a brilliant sense of timing.

Who knows what he has in store for us in the remaining days. He has showed himself to be discrete, confidential, patient. He has such reserves of energy which he can bring up when and as needed. I have thought for many years now that he could not function at that 110% level all the time. I think he has been conserving it for now, when it counts.
