I’m not sure he has learned to game the system. The impression I get as I read more and more is he has been designated a “golden boy” by powers-that-be, first in Illinois, then the DNC and Soros and much of the media and he is being led by the hand to avoid any minefields of unpopular stands and speak only in generalities. He seems more and more like a Manchurian Candidate, without the brainwashing used on the original hero. He has left no tracks to speak of, either for better or worse. He is also the anti-MLK, wanting to be judged by the color of his skin rather than the content of his character. If he gets into office, we won’t know exactly who is pulling the strings but it won’t be Obama.
