Rules for Radicals contains a flaw in it's concepts. That being it's focus on singular issues, never letting go, and targeting, ridiculing, and isolating your opponents. By doing so you may be able to achieve a goal or cause based issue, but you cannot govern or sustain a government with such methods. Obama is so steeped in those methods he cannot think or pivot out of them.

So as time goes on he suffers an exponentially consuming gigantic list of unfinished or incomplete disasters. His love of deception over candid honesty becomes way too hard to juggle. His methods work on one issue at a time with no distractions or outside introduced variables and could take five years to completion. His main example being elections. That is all he can do.

Alinsky never came up with rules for governing...his rules were to destroy the 'establishment'... Also Alinsky in his Woodlawn Organization was quick to drop things that weren't working. He didn't reject ideas before they were tried - but if a plan wasn't drawing people to it he let it die... Then moved on to the next idea or plan.
