If you really want an insight on Obama's strategy, check out Saul Alinsky. Although he was labeled as a communist/socialist (and why the GOP loves labeling Obama that) he had great ideas. He wrote the book "Rules for Radicals" and Obama was inspired by it.
One of the main tenants is: There is no more "fight the power". That gets you killed. Nowadays you work with the power, embrace both sides, promote each side and let the People decide which one is better. Why do you think the GOP looks so particularly toxic right now?
I would bet that the laws (like NDAA) and actions he's taken (like war or bank bailouts) that most of us don't like, were mostly proposed by the right wing. How did we defeat SOPA/PIPA? Because we are now angry enough that the People are more organized than we ever have been.
When a single person attempts all the change, they get popular and they become a target. If he were to have run up the US government like JFK, he would've gotten assassinated quicker than JFK. He's pulling cards by showing their cards. It's up to US to veto the bullshit, so let's get on it.
