It's the entire theme of both.

Oh wait, are you one of those folks asking where is the specific sentence that uses those exact words, because you only know literal meaning and have never been acquainted with figurative? If so, stop reading here because critical thinking is required from here on out.

His books are what I like to call "Obama's Two Treatises on Grievance." Couple what is printed in them with his actual resume, and read a history book on how Nixon weaponized the Executive Branch for the same kind of psych profile...and yeah, Obama telegraphed his imperial presidency all the way back to how he won his state Senate seat in Illinois.

Not necessarily true. George W. Bush was not commonly considered a neoconservative, and look what we ended up with.

Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama did not have the same foreign affairs philosophy, and we saw where she ended up.

I miss no point from partisans such as yourself, because there is none. Not a valid one at least. It's 95% progressive propaganda.

Those are not the people, but are the type of people we could be expecting to fill our Executive Branch in just about any conceivable Republican administration.
And of course, having former domestic terrorists placed in the Executive Branch by the Other Flavor is preferable.

I'm one of those folks who doesn't spend so much time reading between the lines that I neglect to read the lines.

Just a guess, but maybe Obama's many lies have finally caught up to him? Maybe that is why his followers have turned away from him.

A president that is portrayed as "the one", "the savior". There are many pictures of Obama with a halo of light around his head. A media that continues to promote that image no matter what goes wrong. Then Obama saying

They'll warn that tyranny always lurking just around the corner. You should reject these voices.
-- Barack Obama

When a media does this and a politician tells you reject voices that warn against it,.. take a good hard look. Too bad the Germans didn't wake up in time. No-one, and I mean no-one, from any party should be looked at and promoted as like this.

When too few hold too much power it will always be abused.

And folks like Obama count on you for that. But in his two books, it's on the lines, between them, around them, on the dust jacket, etc. He's been peddling Grievance, Inc's snake oil since he left college.

What do you think would happen if Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson were elected President and had Harry Reid defending their every move in the Senate? No, neither has said they'd be emperor, but are you kidding me that you can't imagine what lifelong grievance peddlers would do with that kind of power?

Obama was, is and will always be a pissed off grievance peddler. Re-read those books. Seriously. He told you everything you ever needed to know about him, same as Nixon did in 1960.
