It occurred to me today that Obama's life is a version of "My Fair Lady". The commie elite have selected a shiftless street urchin, dressed him in finery, indoctrinated him in Marxism and propelled him onto the political scene. The teleprompter ensures that his words deliver their intent. When not performing on the stage, he is free to golf, watch snuff film TV in his shorts and be entertained with lavish travel and parties. For all the glitz and glamour, he is still a street urchin underneath.

Playing to the theme of the thread, the drug use and gay activities ensure that he will be compliant to his handlers demands on pain of having that more "out" than most observers already understand. He is too valuable as a tool to manipulate right now to "out" him. When he leaves office, there will be little reason to protect him.

Outstanding observations on all points. I doubt he considers himself such an urchin, though, and instead imagines everything that has been dumped in his lap as simply his due.
