Exactly! And if we peons know this then certainly everyone in Washington DC knows exactly who and what Obama is and where he came from and his mission. Yet, all of Washington DC and half of Americans love and respect that sunnuvabich like he's the king.
Why?
It became obvious, even before Hillary came on board, that Obama's was an extremely corrupt administration -- it would certainly take a lot more than mere "gift of gab" for him to suborn officials from the FBI, CIA and IRS to risk ruin and prison doing his bidding, and as for Eric Holder, Loretta Lynch and Hillary, they were all corrupt to begin with.
He had to have spread some
baksheesh around, lots of it... George Soros would have helped with that... There's no telling what went through the minds of the rest of the Washington establishment, perhaps he was so well covered that nobody, Republicans included, had the spine to try and expose what they knew but couldn't prove. As far as the Democratic Party was concerned, they knew what side their bread was buttered on.
Where Obama's "faithful following" was concerned, let's just say there are a lot of spoiled Americans around who either grew up in the 1980s and take what we have in America for granted or older ones who haven't yet emerged mentally from the hippie era, and the more recent generation coming of age who were victims of an education system that didn't ground them in American History or Civics and who were indoctrinated 'way to the left of center.
And, of course, there are a fair amount of useful i***ts who gobble up the doctrines put out by the g*******t left, there are rubes and dumbjohns who believe the left makes sense, and lastly, there are legions of imbeciles, so Obama had a ready made fan base before he ever announced his bid for president.
I remember, also, James Taranto, who used to do
Best of the Web Today, the Wall Street Journal's political blog (Taranto got promoted and someone else does it now), once writing when Obama was running for his first term, that "Obama could drive up to a McDonald's drive-in window, order a Big Mac and a strawberry shake and make it sound like a royal edict."
