Delusions of grandeur....reminds me of someone else
Washington is filled to the brim with folks who understand power and nothing else.
Muth's genius (and there is no doubt he is "some kind" of genius) is very much like that of Obama, except Obama has used his to prey upon those who view the world through the lens of racism instead of that old Teutonic culture of Albrecht Muth.
I like con men because they make life interesting. I particularly like them when they are made to pay the piper.
Obama knows he is being pursued by his piper (and I imagine he enjoys the thrill of being pursued). But it will be great fun when justice finally catches up.
Part of me even wonders if the NYT ran this article because they know it will resonate, consciously and unconsciously, because of Muth's parallels with Obama.
