President Obama began his hobby of stacking cards as a young democrat, learning the skills early, needed to place one idea neatly on top of another idea. As he learnt to build a tower of cards he also understood the concept of never looking back. Once a card is laid, it is proverbially played, and is not to be removed again, no matter how stupid the original placement was. There is no time for change once that card is on the table.

| - President Obama began his hobby of stacking cards as a young democrat, learning the skills early, needed to place one idea neatly on top of another idea. As he learnt to build a tower of cards he also understood the concept of never looking back. Once a card is laid, it is proverbially played, and is not to be removed again, no matter how stupid the original placement was. There is no time for change once that card is on the table. As a senator he had already developed card stacking skills to such a degree that he could impress anyone with a quickly built tower of ideas all neatly and happily stacked into a nice little package. And when the cards fell down, oh did everyone have such a lovely laugh. "Ha ha ha, did you see that? One card slips and they all crash, plumeting down to the table, one poor rejected card on top of another."
