It kind of makes the hair stand up on my neck though. I feel like I'm seeing some code words that I don't understand...

"That was the deal by which the country would allow him to be its president."

This doesn't seem correct. This sounds like an assumption from one viewpoint. Another viewpoint is that Obama had a more productive vision for more American's than the 'fuck the 47%' counter-offer from the Republican camp.

Am I missing some veiled language here?
