Gonna repost this one because Robert has been doing this shit for a while now:

Robert keeps making fanfic version of history and politics that have no ground in reality whatsoever, and more so, he spins his own fiction creating these characters that never existed, as if we are watching a shittier version of political dramas from the middle 2000's, in a weird display of political fetitization that Robert makes out of Obama.
You know the cringe shit people used to say about Trump and the 4D chess shit? Yeah, that is Robert with Obama times 10.
No one ever liked Hillary to begin with, in 2008 she strode in as if it was her god given right to be president, but I remember well 2008, and Obama wasn't running as the right-wing "black Regan" (I can't find him saying that anywhere he said that, I think it is Robert's bullshit), but Obama was always the "hope and change" guy, he was the against stablishment candidate Hillary, and played into populism against a highly disliked person even inside her own party.
Just because Robert likes to jerk off thinking Obama made "one of the slickest judo-throws in modern political history" doesn't make it so, it is hilarious that Robert calls out people for being "ahistorical" when he seems to bend reality to fit this script he has on his head he thinks it is oh so very clever for his analysis.
And that is the worst thing about Robert about being a media critic. Mind you, I think media critisim is worthless by itself, but Robert comes up with shit he thinks he is being clever by bringing it up, as if he is the one to finally figure it out, and then just makes shit up to fit his descriptions, be public reaction, story themes, whatever, and it end becomes less about the subject, and more about what Robert can distort it into. Just take a look on how he talks about the fucking MCU.
Also, on the 2008 primaries, Obama and his team weren't afraid to go low and use the race card in order to win:
Comments from the Clintons and Clinton supporters are spurring a racial backlash.

And let's be real, Hillary on top of not being liked, but also having to deal with accusations of being racist, yeah, that is far more effective than Obama going around acting as if he is black fucking Regan.
There is a reason on why the Clintons hate Obama with a passion.
