...given the enormity of what he inherited, and given what he explicitly promised, it remains simply a fact that Obama has delivered in a way that the unhinged right and purist left have yet to understand or absorb.

Obama stinks at politics actually
stinks, the debt-ceiling, couldn’t let Bush tax cuts expire for high earners
but he is interested in his re-election campaign because by being
re-elected he makes his Obamacare and Dodd-Frank CFPB
communist fascist laws very unlikely repealed
Thus he will have “fundamentally tranformed America” just like he
said 5 days from 2008 election.
Just by being re-elected he will have done that.
That’s his long game.

It may also include the once-a-decade census. And of course it is a headcount measure, not a size of payroll measure.
He has already accomplished that. America has already been impoverished and saddled with insurmountable debt. There is no viable path out. Our healthcare has been socialized our banks and corporations taken over. The only devastation that Obama has not been successful at is amnesty, and if a Republican is elected president, that too will likely pass.
