YES!
While most classify Baraq as a hard left academic, the fact is that he has a "masters" in "operations" from the Chicago political mob, the folks who wrote the book on corruption.
He intimidated the Clintons and their vaunted private detective operation in 08 - no small thing.
Urkle is no academic. Heck, I'm a major lightweight among some serious intelligence here at FR, and even I could put him to shame in the academic realm. Your 'masters' in 'ops' from the Chicago mob is spot on! He received his undergrad from his family. Those people, including him, 'worked the system' all their lives. He was a natural for what the Chicago gang had to teach him after he graduated from home.

I think the Chicago mob has something on Bubba and/or Hildabeast. They wouldn't have to look too hard to find something on either of those two.
