I suspect the Obama we see is entirely a construct of the media and consultants, with only rare insights into the man hiding behind the curtain. We don't know if the real Obama is a drug-addled loser too lazy to be as big a danger as his beliefs would otherwise make him, or a clever manipulator using that image to lull us into tolerating his slow progress toward socialism and tyranny. We don't know anything about the hidden Obama other than that he or those who create his image feels a need to hide the real thing, if there is any reality behind the carefully crafted media construct. If the Obama on the news is a media construct designed by members of several generations to appeal to all of those generations, that would explain why the artificial image seems to fit so many groups.
I believe you have caught a sense of DG’s intention. He discusses O toward the end of the article in just the terms you describe, as a construct. If he were the genius some want him to be we would be much furthur along his dangerous path with much more dedication to the cause of his tyranny.
Face it, Obama is no Hitler and he is no Stalin. He certainly does not have the intellectual stamina or convictions of a Trotsky or, for that matter, of an FDR. He lacks the moral courage of Reagan and the sophistication - however deluded - of a Kennedy.
That he is an addled, brain dead junkie seems patently obvious. His constant forays to the playground and witless ramblings are exceeded only by his sidekick, besotted old Joe. Both are famously sexual perverts. Neither has a wit of respect, not even for themselves.
This makeshift house of cards must crumble and soon. When we can no longer tolerate their mindless, malicious evil we will bring them down.
