Obama is a charismatic persona created by the mainstream media and his 300 advisors. Sure, he is easy on the eyes and when given well scripted words an oratorial master, but is he ready to make decisions that will decide the future of millions? He has a limited resume, his resume pales in comparison to many others that sought the candidacy of both the Democrats and the Republicans. Even Clinton's limited experience in the 1992 race was a concern for those that voted for him. However, Clinton had been making decisions for the state of Arkansas as well as held various other positions (Arkansas State Attorney General) requiring action and decision making.
The operative word is action. What actions, beyond running for federal and state senate office, has Obama accomplished? As one of the individuals involved in hiring the next POTUS, I have to ask myself what has he accomplished that was a long term success? As an employor I would ask a prospective candidate: "What projects were you involved in with your past employer(s) and how were they a success? And, how was that success measured? What was your participation as a team member of the project, did you lead the team? What did you do to make these projects a success"? Obama has not answered any of these questions, but has evaded any response beyond 'I was a community organizer', and that he was involved on a couple of pieces of legislation.
I cannot count being added to a piece of legislation by one of the 'co-authors' after the work is done as participating in its success. This is just going along for the ride. I must count involvment from start to finish working tirelessly and consistently with the 'team'. Completing your task by sticking around to vote yes or no. (You would think that if being added as an author of a piece of legislation you would vote yes, but alas, Obama has voted no on a piece of legislation that he co-authored; and I use the term 'co-authored' loosely.)
I realize that he has showed up to work, this is apparent by his being marked present, but he has not fulfilled an honest days work as a public servant. He has however, spent the majority of his time running for office, which thanks to his 300 advisors and big money machine (Soros) he has been very successful against Hillary. I know that everyone speaks of the Clinton machine, how powerful and formidable that machine is, but part of that machine became divided and began working for Obama's primary campaign. Obama won the primaries and defeated Hillary, the Clinton-Machine.
If the team that was responsible for the Clinton-Machine divided and some of these operatives were working behind the Obama candidacy, is Obama really responsible for bringing down the Clinton-Machine as many on the left propose? Or could it be that the operatives that left the Clinton machine brought that formidable machine down? Can we even really give Obama the credit for bringing down the Clintons? Was he all that material in this task or like everything else he has done during his public service: just going along for the ride? Just the puppet of the ex-Clinton puppet masters?
Your guess is as good as mine, because the ex-Clinton-Machine knows what they're doing and they have kept this mystery man moving toward their ultimate goal: a resurgence to a position of power behind the POTUS. This is their goal, and these POTUS makers were not going to gamble their power on Hillary. She was too much of a lightening rod: you either hate her or love her, there is/was no inbetween. So Obama is just cruisin' and along for the ride behind the ex-Clinton machine.
