Success in what way? He failed Chicago, he failed the senate and he's miserably failing this country. BTW, I fixed that for you up top.
Whether you agree with Obama or not, whether you think he's good or bad for the country, whether you think he's a good or bad person... none of that matters. The argument that Cholo was making was that Obama was

for himself. This is not in dispute.
