It seems not even to have crossed his mind when he ran for the office and assumed it that with the office would come responsibilities of a sort that had never previously encountered and that he had no particular desire to shoulder.
Could it be that he expected others in his regime to handle such tasks?
Maybe his job is to simply be the "point man" for a pack of 60's Marxist who have been planning this takeover for years. And, because they have been so incompetent in suppressing political opposition, a lot of flack is coming his way.
Just a thought, but this whole operation seems to be something other than a President and his administration.
He is exactly that - a front man and a salesman.
At least that was the Emanuel-Axelrod-Soros plan initially. The trouble was that Zer0 turned out to be a lousy, boring, and predictable salesman. People got tired of his act very soon and started to tune him out. Obama turned out to be a flop in the role his handlers planned for him and no actor has much energy performing in a flop.
