The End of the Obama Illusion
American Thinker ^ | May 15, 2013 | Thomas Lifson

Though I’ve long suspected that many highly placed Democrat Ops have been looking at this guy for awhile, shaking their heads and thinking “he’s a total f**k-up, what are we gonna do?” Could never say it above a whisper though.
