(CBS News) President Obama’s biggest mistake during his first term, he told CBS News in an exclusive interview, has been putting policy over storytelling.
“When I think about what we’ve done well and what we haven’t done well,” the president said, “the mistake of my first term – couple of years – was thinking that this job was just about getting the policy right. And that’s important. But the nature of this office is also to tell a story to the American people that gives them a sense of unity and purpose and optimism, especially during tough times.”

Then going to foreign lands to fundraise.
That’s all this guy does.. is story-tell. He’s a serial liar. He’s so narcissistic that he believes his stories have more weight than reality. But then… to his credit, his base suck it up.
