16. A simile is not a didactic analysis. Using the word "like" makes it a comparison of similarities.

In other words, the strategy of more corporatist presidents in order to get one who isn't, is like, as in- similar to, runs in an ideationally parallel fashion to... the Congressional Strategery being employed in order to pass "Health Care Reform".

I hope this post has explained to you the underlying irrelevance of your own post, so that you will, next time, better prepare your irrelevancies... or perhaps post something more relevant.
