By using the Internet to build a strong support group with young voters as well as revenue for his campaign. Facebook, YouTube, and the younger generation were largely ignored by all of his opponents Democrat and Republican. That's how he revolutionized it.

You might want to look at results. Young people didn't turn out in significanlty higher percentages than they ever had before.
Even then the youth vote is not what won the race for Obama.
If you remember McCain/Palin were kicking arse until the economy crashed. That's why Obama won. Not because he is some kind of great campaigner.
If the economy had crashed 4 months later McCain would be president right now. Obama lucked into the presidency.
True that he may or may not be behind the curve as a President but the reason he's President is because he revolutionized campaigning. Let's not cut the man short...
IMO Obama campaigns but doesn't do anything else...his speech this week was another campaign speech. AFA his campaigning, most promises he made last campaign were never realized. He flip-flops with his statements and his stances and can't respond to someone without a teleprompter. Each statement he makes his planned in advance. What's the point of him winning the Presidency when he has helped the country go further downhill?

On that I agree with you. I haven't seen a single candidate that motivates me to get out of bed election day. Obama has disappointed me.
By simply ignoring the shrill conservative conspiracy theorists who claim Obama wasn't born in Hawaii, is this a sly tactic on Obama's part to pave the way for a "birther" candidate (like Trump) to win the GOP nomination? Or, at the very least, to create deep fractures within the GOP field between the "birther" and non-birther wings of the GOP primary voters and candidates?
Totally genius strategy, if you ask me.
It could be an exceptionally good strategy. On the other hand, it could also be that Obama really was born in Hawaii, so he has no reason to involve himself in all the screaming and yelling.
Besides, if you were the incumbent President, wouldn't you be salivating at the thought of an opponent whose platform is based mainly on whether you were born in a particular location or not?

is he a genius? I would give credit more to those who advise him, than to him. He was just in the right place at the right time and they started grooming him. What worked the first time around may not work this time. Many are getting a little tired of his campaigning 24/7 from 2007 until now.
As for those stupid polls, you have to be walking around with your eyes closed if you are paying any attention to a poll witha bunch of names on it or men and women that have not even announced.
