Do they hate him? Yes, they sure do.
Do they have a use for him? Yes, they sure do.
1. He sets rules of engagement to endanger our men, and give them the upper hand
2. He removes our ambassador’s defense team
3. He helps them overturn vile but stable leaders causing regional chaos
4. He cuts our military
5. He advances the Islamic cause in the U. S. with his policies
These and other ways, this guy does things they very much have a use for.
I agree, though they are not the only ones using him to advance an agenda. While he rose as a communist agitator, he was eventually forced to endorse things that I’m sure he would rather not (troop surge in Afghanistan, gays issues (military, “marriage”).
He was useful tool for people who hid behind his “blackness” (as he did); it would have been much harder for a white person to push this crap.
