What did Obama think "good at politics" means? He conflated management with elections.

? I'm not sure you really get how the government works if you think it's susceptible to the kind of "management" we would like in the business context, or if you think winning elections to ram through various policy ovjectives isn't the entire point to a lot of people (of both/every political stripe). The system rewards quick wins, not governance.
