While Obama certainly shares the Kingfish’s penchant for corruption and venality, at least ‘ole Huey was more of a people person. No one could claim the old boy did not love the back-slapping and “constituent outreach” aspect of the office. And the Kingfish’s cronies could at least count on him to help them out politically. Obama won’t even share his vaunted data mining operation with potential Democrat candidates. He is all about himself and I think even those closest to him now realize just how empty his suit is. He is inept—a complete and utter mediocrity.
Yes, he is an arrogant prick.
But who has character in DC?
