Henry Kissinger, in his memoir of the Ford administration, Years of Upheaval

bridge the gap between his nation's experience and his vision. If his vision
gets too far out ahead of his nation's experience, he will lose his mandate
. But if he hews too close to the conventional, he will lose control over
events."

Although that’s quite a provocative question, evidence is mounting that
Obama may not be as intelligent as his supporters and cheerleaders in the
media constantly assure us. The reality may be that Obama is mostly a
creation of the liberal media. Indeed, the more we dig into his past, the
more we find very little substance and discover how a network of liberal
professors, law firms, and others, gave him a pass on performance while he
pursued his political agenda.
