“Why do the R leaders love Obama so much? I really don’t get it.”

I think that is the wrong question. The correct question is: Why are they so terrified of opposing him in a meaningful way?

There are a number of possibilities.

1. They are terrified of the old media coming down on them, because it is in the bag for the Obama administration.

2. They are terrified of being called racists (see one)

3. The Obama administration has had control of the NSA, CIA, FBI, and all the internal and external spying apparatus for 7 years. The Obama administration has no fear of being found out, because they have the old media in their pocket. So, they have the goods on nearly all politicians of both parties, and likely, most of the old media. So they use extortion, pure and simple. In other words, the Republicans do what they are told so as not to be outed.

4. Support for the extortion model is in how Republican’s “scandals” are treated. Libby Scooter gets a felony conviction for forgetting a date. Eric Holder gets a pass for running guns to drug cartels in Mexico.

Obama may be the first president ever to combine this level of extortion with media support. It is clear that he is the first to have access to this level of information about all the political players.

Clinton and Johnson were as corrupt, but did not have the power. Clinton wasn’t black, and Johnson wanted to win in Vietnam.

A possible explanation.
