Obama is also an incredibly skilled actor and manipulator. You have no idea.

Sounds pretty far fetched right? Obama would never do such a thing. Besides, the American people would never fall for that...

Obama is manipulator? Compared to Putin he is just lost child. He was f*cked in his ass by Russia more times that I can count. Obama is incredibly naive, his world-view makes him vulnerable to manipulations of all kinds. Those techniques you refer to were just invention of his staff, he did all of this without even understanding what he is doing.
