Focusing on Obama is part of their desired evasion.
“...a much larger intellectual culture deeply cynical about American ideals...Jaded billionaires, ideological journalists, Hollywood hatists, academic reactionaries, and entrenched federal interests combine to orchestrate a political facade...”
Poetic!
