This seems to me the only explanation offered that does not boil down to the claim to read Obama's mind. I really can't quite understand the urge of so many to reject the simple hypothesis that a president's acts may reflect his actual intention.

But doesn't this cast his actions as some sort of character flaw or
personality and how is that better. I would posit that it has more to
do with the structural forces of running the largest capitalist state
during a time when the balance of class forces is completely one
sided. It has nothing to do with personalities or this one man. It
is a function of the particular conjuncture of US capitalism and it
portends that we are in deep shit.
