Reagan was a political genius who got what he wanted while being opposed by everyone, Obama is a boob that has the protection of the media and is destroying his party, destructive yes, but in spite of his lack of genius, not because of it.
If Obama had been the political genius you think he is then he would have been much more effective than he is, instead he took the hand that was dealt to him in 2008 and has repeatedly overplayed his hand and made major incompetent mistakes that keep undermining, and weakening his destructive successes.
A political genius would have wrapped things up by now.
He is not a political genius but he is driven on one direction and nothing else matters to him. What happens to the Democrat Party is of no concern to him once it has outlived its usefulness to the Umma. He used it to get where he is. He could not have done it without the Party. He is beyond that now. He must do as much damage as he can. The next two years will be very dangerous. I don't even think that he is the brains behind it all.The Saudis got him through the universities and put him in position to run for president. The communists and assorted other leftists and MSM made it sure. He will change direction only if he ̣(and with that pronoun I include his backup) finds his project is about to fail, that is if the Congress gets serious about stopping him and if the military does not co-operate with him.
The military has shown signs of bucking him, signs the military organization has never shown before (MacArthur's opposition was MacArthur's alone) with any other president.
The bombing of ISIS started without his sanction and he was informed of it and told he had better own it. He did, though reluctantly. The quarantining of the ebola troops was also apparently against his will. We shall see.
