And even years after Obama got elected, he still went around campaigning like he's a Washington outsider, even though he quickly became part of the "establishment" that he railed against. You are 100% correct, and he was able to pull off the "Limbaugh Theorem" for 8 full years. If you are not familiar with that, it is something Rush postulated early in the Obama years. No matter what Obama signed or did he NEVER got the blame for it. NEVER. It was like he was a 3rd person on the "outside". This gave rise to what Rush calls the Limbaugh Theorem, which is that Obama has mastered the ability to always be seen as “opposing everything that’s happening, even the things he is causing to happen. He is on a perpetual campaign.” A variation of the Limbaugh Theorem can be seen in the unfolding scandals now buffeting the administration. According to Rush, “[Obama] gets away with everything precisely by appearing to have no involvement with it … He gets away with not being tied to [the IRS scandal] like he’s not tied to the jobs numbers, he’s not tied to the debt, he’s not tied to the economy. He’s not tied to anything going wrong.” commentarymagazine.com
