“a one-term fluke”.
The flukiest of flukes, I’d say. A psychohistory of how this man rose (or more appropriately), descended from the heavens, WITH NO HISTORY AND NO NEED FOR ONE, and “fell into” the Presidency,needs to be written for the ages.
Nothing quite like this has ever happened in American Politics, and all of us have analyzed it, and made sidelong remarks about it for over 3 years now, encompassing both his candidacy and his Presidency, and we watched with profound queasiness as that dark day happened and he was inaugurated. Obama increasingly looks like the Last Gasp of the Left, and his ideology coupled with his personal immaturity, narcissism and arrogance have only emboldened all those players on the Left who now make such noise into postures of overreaching and rhetorical violence that exactly match and foolishly EXCEED Obama’s own. They will all go down together; they’ve seen to that. They know they are dying out.
(Mostly for the rest of us)
