He’s a communist, through and through.
The poor bastard never learned why America was special. That’s what happens when you grow up in Indonesia studying the Koran, kneeling on a prayer rug.
He doesn’t even grasp the concept of exceptionalism. If he did, he’d reject it, but it’s obvious when you hear him talk about it that he doesn’t have a clue.
Another thing he doesn’t grasp is Keynesian economics. I remember hearing him burble giddily about stimulating the economy, the first time he was granted a trillion or so to get the job done. Anyone who listened to him wd have realized within five minutes that he had no earthly idea what Keynesian economics is about. (Not that I agree w Keynes on anything, but then I’m a supply sider. If I claimed to follow Keynes, I’d at least know the basics of his theory.)
It’s likely a combination of laziness & not-very-brightness. The only subjects that really & truly interest Obama are himself, racial grievance & Alinsky. These are the only areas in which he has a true command of the subject matter. In all other areas, he only imagines he’s an expert.
He’s skated on everything so far—including his inability to even recall the first line of a speech sans Totus. Like you, I see a different landscape now. The MSM are finally treating BHO w 1/100 the scrutiny they gave GWB 24/7. BHO doesn’t handle even that level of challenge well. He’s not used to it. The pricklier he gets, the more entertaining it will be. Should make for a rowdy next few yrs.
