“The argument is that he was promoted over Hillary because he would be malleable and would “lead from behind”. In other words, he’d follow.”

I think it was science fiction writer Larry Niven who created the Puppeteers. The Puppeteers were a race of herbivores. The leader was the Hind Most, who lead from behind. The least valuable members of Puppeteer society went at the head of the heard where the predators were while the leaders stayed safe at the rear. I think that’s appropriate for the Hind Most in the White House. Arugula rocks!

Also, I don’t remember any magazines where any Republican president was shown air-brushed in as some other president. I suspect they’re doing that because without the seasoning of another image, Obama is politically unpalatable. I suspect Lincoln would be upset to have his image air-brushed with a scalawag carpetbagger. FDR would definitely veto the comparison if he could.

And, my last thought, Obama can’t even be ordered by his handlers to give the “will not accept speech.” He is living in a fantasy world and will continue to embarrass us as Jimmy Carter has in his declining years. Except, Obama will have many, many more opportunities as he’s much younger.
