“What made Obama unique was that he was the ultimate charismatic politician - the most unknown stranger ever to achieve the presidency in the United States. No one knew who he was, he came out of nowhere, he had this incredible persona that floated him above the fray, destroyed Hillary, took over the Democratic Party and became president. This is truly unprecedented: A young unknown with no history, no paper trail, no well-known associates, self-created.” WellsMadeSelfStatesYoungPresidentUnitedPartyKnownUnited StatesAchievePoliticianPaperUniqueUltimateDemocraticIncrediblesStrangerDestroyedAssociatesPresidencyWell KnownTrailsDemocratic PartyPersonaUnprecedentedCharismaticFray Author:Charles Krauthammer

“The Democratic line is that the Republican House does nothing but block and oppose. In fact, it has passed hundreds of bills only to have them die upon reaching the desk of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. He has rendered the Senate inert by simply ensuring that any bill that might present a politically difficult vote for his Democratic colleagues never even comes to the floor.” DoeFactsMightDiesHouseDifficultLinesLeaderRepublicanVoteBillsMajorityDemocraticBlockReachingSenateDesksColleaguesNotableMajority Leader Author:Charles Krauthammer
