President Obama unwittingly disclosed his modus operandi in a single statement back in 2012. The sentence explains why he has been able to both win elections and been such a failure once in office.
In the summer of 2012, President Obama refused to take responsibility for failures during his first term. As is his wont, he blamed others. In this case it was not the "usual suspect," Republicans, but all Americans. He told CBS News; Charlie Rose that his biggest mistake of his first term was not being a good enough storyteller:
"The mistake of my first term. . .was thinking that this job was just about getting the policy right. And that's important. But the nature of this office is also to tell a story to the American people that gives them a sense of unity and purpose and optimism, especially during tough times."
Mitt Romney mocked his answer, "Being president is not about telling stories. Being president is about leading, and President Obama has failed to lead."
But why wouldn't Obama think that success was based on telling stories? After all, his ability to tell stories was key to his string of election victories. He never had much of a record to run on (many Americans overlooked or did not care that his career was marked by "voting present" when not claiming credit for work he did not do) so to fill up a sparse resume he created stories.

Speaking of telling stories, in New Jersey, we get to vote for Obama’s Mini-Me, Cory Booker, for Senate on October 16. This guy does nothing but tell stories. He is like Obama, only more so.
The motives were all there for anyone to see in his books. He outlined his philosophy clearly. His background of Marxist friends and mentors should have left no one with any sense at all a modicum of doubt about his politics. He was, he is and he will always be a dedicated anti-american socialist. You would have better luck converting Pope Francis to Islam than moving Obama away from the political roots instilled in him almost since birth.
this will all be explained in his forthcoming Novella...The Audactity Of Hubris!
“O” is a babbling idiot.
Who ever heard of such a thing? Story telling? REALLY???
How about some cold, hard facts and LEAERSHIP!?
Can the Nobel Prize in Fiction be far behind?
Story, a recounting of a sequence of events
( from wikipedia )
That’s what Barry can’t do. He deals with the “ what will happen” and it
never does.
He sells undefined “ Hope & Change “ and the reality of what he produces he won’t tell anything about it, except as noted to blame others.
Reader’s Digest condensed version:
Ophonybama is a LIEberal! LIEberals LIE!
And, he convinced enough American voters that he was not a LIEberal such that he got “elected” President twice.
