Sorry, you didn’t read the article thoughtfully, this is a great article.
Bama doesn’t understand that holding the office of president is apparent authority, but actual authority is when the people support you; he has none of this. His support has dwindled to peanuts, Merkel and Bahrain have fired him. Boehner smells weakness (takes one to know one).
This elegant article explains it with two allegories, matroishka dolls and wolves circling. Read it again.
I agree.
Good article.
