Obama’s genius was to understand that many of his supporters needed him more than he need[s] them.

Much as with Islam, this goes to the core of Leftism’s dire need to believe in something. With communism deftly discarded onto history’s scrap heap and global warmening being called into doubt—though nowhere near loudly enough—you had better believe that many liberals are betting their organic, off-grid farm on Obama.

As I have noted before, Obama will pivot like a jeweled Swiss movement on anything, repeat anything that will get him one more vote or another dollar. Were it not so obvious, Obama’s lack of principles would be appalling. Instead, that which is so stupifying is the gullibility of those who can watch this would-be-emperor stroll buck naked towards the throne without batting an eye.
