Gives too much credit to Obama, frankly. Neoliberals aren't do-gooders who just have their hands tied by mean conservatives. Even at their best, they don't care about anyone outside the property-owning class.
We all saw his most ambitious ideals with a Supermajority were to bail-out bank owners and ignore home-owners, to protect shareholders and not workers, and a watered-down public option.
Obama unshackled by the GOP/"Deep State" would just be Margaret Thatcher.
Nah, he didn't mean it. He's just saying what the guy he's playing would say in that situation. "Let me be clear, folks, is dissolving political dissidents in acid in secret CIA facilities to perpetuate the rule of a cabal of billionaires ideal? Frankly, it makes me want to hang myself every time I order it done. But at the end of the day, this is what it takes to keep our nation together and keep my family safe and rich, and I don't reaaaaally give a shit anyway."
