I think you are giving him way too much credit. The Obama without a programmed teleprompter is a street punk. His goal is to be loved, golf, eat the finest grub, and keep AirForceOne parked in his garage while he redistributes this nation's wealth. Now that is not to say those that program his teleprompter do not have ambitions of reordering this earth.
You’re dismissing all those years he spent studying and bull-sessioning on Marxism and his years with ACORN and other orgs leading and lecturing them on tactics and strategies awfully lightly.
