He's a pure politician and the exact sort of actor which he stated he wasn't. Opportunism, flip flopping, double talk, promise everything, political sacrifices of people, completely partisan.......

He's a master at telling everyone feel good sweet nothings, even if it contradicts itself from group to group or location to location. Remember his talk of people clinging to God and their guns? Remember in 2008 when he tried to portray himself as moderate on abortion? He's a good talker and is keenly aware of what the people he's talking too want to hear. His speech writers draft his stuff tailored to the audience, to include the jokes.

This is simply a case where his “tell all what they want to hear” strategy backfired.

I don’t even think he’s a politician. Not sure what label to put on him (that I can type in this white box). He’s something we have never, ever seen the likes of before. And hopefully, won’t again.

I agree with you, more or less. He's the Oprah Winfrey/Deepak Chopra President though I don't think he's a master at all. Its that his shallowness and stupidity has been coverered up or omitted by a complicent media.

We had "Tricky Dicky" Nixon, "Slick Willy" Clinton and now...

...I aptly give him, as he so richly deserves, his 'legacy nickname' - "S.O.B." Yeah, he truly is one, but my acronym stands for....

..."Snake Oil Barry" Obama!!!!
