Depends on the end goal. Imo, any attempts to portray Obama as anything other than a straight up destructionist is, at best, naive.
Everything done by Obama and his hand picked support crew has been meant to cause as much dmg as possible. The DNC has been fully and completely compliant and complicit in this.
Obama is, was and has always been of the most radical left. His goal, as is plain to see by the pattern established over time since he took office, is to force the radical leftist dream of open and bloody revolution.
