The always astute Timothy P. Carney has Barack Obama figured out. Seems that a politician has to be good with people, and getting them to vote for him every few years is only one aspect of that, although it's a very important aspect. Obama isn't very good at much else. As Obama saw it, he had only one job. See Obama was no political master, after all for the details.
Well, maybe that's what we get when electing a community organizer. Meanwhile, one very comforting thing that yesterday's shellacking of Democrat revealed is that Obama's political machine, whether we call it Big Data as in 2012 or Catalist in 2014, doesn't work so well without the big O on the ballot. The idea that brilliant psychologists dedicated to the lefty agenda can come up with catch phrases and techniques that easily manipulate the masses was a scary prospect. The fact that it depends on a messiah type character to really inspire the masses is a little bit comforting, at least until another messiah type character sweeps Democrats off their feet again.
I'm hoping for a Tea Party libertarian type messiah to come along so I can swoon, too. But the odds of him/her surviving the MSM firing squad may be too much.
