You give Obama too much credit; he is a worker bee with the real power (and the money behind his elections) behind the scenes. “His” people are worse off than ever, and he has had to openly compromise his public sentiments (on war, gay marriage, taxes) because he is simply the smiley token (and can be easily replaced with another).
He is arrogant in believing nobody will question his capacity for evil, but he himself is a small fish. Nothing that has happened on his watch wouldn’t have happened with a President Hillary, and I suspect much of it would have also happened with a President McCain or Romney.
He alone holds the switch that will turn on WW III. That makes him not small.
