Obama is low IQ, choom-gang pretender. Don't over-estimate his ability or powers. He was installed/elevated to Presidency. It was far more elegant a process (because its the first time America saw it) than the bumbling, corrupt Joe Biden, but the process and powers behind him are the same.
It's kinda why I mentioned the Mob boss. Now I'm not advocating exactly that, but that's the mindset we're dealing with.
