Loved the comment - “His experience told him he needed no experience”. Perfect.
It is perfect, especially dealing with a sociopath like Obama, whose whole life from the very beginning has been about inventing himself, choosing personae based on their attractiveness to his audience, forgetting the old ones and moving on to the next one when it becomes convenient to do so. Experience would be a handicap in such a situation, because it might give him a track record and prevent people from being able to believe his latest persona.
