Obama does not have rare skill or political genius.
He is inept in many ways. The only reason the far left is seeing some of its goals accomplished for now is because they’ve decided on a no holds barred lie at all costs way of doing things.
It wouldn’T matter who was in the Oval Office. The media now lies at every turn about everything. That’s the only reason Obama is where he is.
Obama has found the part of population that Lincoln spoke of i.e. ‘you can fool some of the people all the time .....’ and has realized that ‘some’ amounts to 50%+/- of the population/voters.
