OBAMA'S BRIDGE TOO FAR
A PETITION ON FACEBOOK FOR CONSTITUTIONAL RESTORATION

The eye-opener here concerns Obama's first job out of college. In his autobiography, "Dreams from My Fathers", Barack Obama writes of taking a job after graduating from Columbia University in 1983. He describes his employer as
A consulting house to multinational corporations" in New York City, and his functions as a "research assistant" and "financial writer"
In fact he was recruited by Business International Corporation that was continuously being accused of as a CIA front company. Wikipedia, an independent source, supports this,
The company has been identified as cover organization for the Central Intelligence Agency, e.g. see Lobster Magazine, and issue 14 in 1987. According to a lengthy article in the New York Times in 1977, the co-founder of the company told the newspaper that "Eldridge Haynes [the other founder] had provided cover for four CIA employees in various countries between 1955 and 1960"
Oddly Obama's book doesn't mention the name of his employer. However, a New York Times story of 2007 identifies the company as Business International Corporation. In his book, he doesn't mention his employer's name nor does he say when he worked there, or why he left.
Researcher and blogger Joseph Cannon points out,
Obama's bios are as important for what they leave out as for what they reveal. I first became suspicious of his now-infamous trip to Pakistan (which he took in the summer between Occidental and Columbia) because he refused to mention this adventure in his books.”
Cannon further ads,
Think of it: We are talking about a man who compiled not one but two autobiographical works before the age of 46. We are talking about an ambitious politician intent on establishing his foreign policy cred. Yet he refused to mention a dangerous trip to Pakistan which he made at a time when travel to that country was discouraged by the State Department. That country was then the focus of the CIA's largest covert operation, the supplying of the Afghan mujahedeen. While there, this callow college kid met with one of the most powerful men in Pakistan -- a meeting arranged by an unnamed personage with the American Embassy. (Spook-watchers know what that means.)”
If the Pakistan trip was a pleasure jaunt, why did Obama keep it a secret? He wrote in his autobiography that he was broke and on food stamps which leads to the question how did he pay for this expensive trip.
Ann Dunham, Obama's mother, visited at least 13 countries, and had worked for companies that required travel to Pakistan. Her employers appear to have included the U.S. Agency for International Development, the Ford Foundation, Women's World Bank, and the Asian Development Bank. Note that USAID and the Ford Foundation have (allegedly) been used as covers for CIA agents. Like mother, like son. Ann worked for at least two organizations notorious for providing CIA cover. Barack went straight from college to an organization known to provide CIA cover and supposedly, his mother was a leftist. Yet she married Lolo Sotero who just so happens to be a key intermediary between the American’s and Indonesian strongman Suharto, who coincidently was, installed by the CIA in an extremely bloody coup. (Obama admits this in his book.).
Conclusive evidence has yet to be discovered but one can’t help but ask: When we try to sort out who's who in the clandestine world, you never get what constitutes hard evidence? The fact remains that if you are Koolaid drinker, then no amount of proof will ever suffice!
Obama on cocaine:
“Pot had helped, and booze; maybe a little blow when you could afford it.”
No, highly implausible. It's pretty far out on the limb for what we know about him.

It makes more sense that the CIA suspected Obama because of his friends and actions and tried to lure him into something that would expose him.
Damn sure wasn’t. Must of been some Yankee thing.
Deep in my gut I have a feeling that something big is going to explode with regard to O. So much mystery surrounding his past and it’s going to hit the fan at some point. It won’t be pretty.
I agree and have been thinking the same thing. It will be someone like the CIA that takes him down. He’s stepping on too many toes and he knows it. That’s why he’s beyond paranoid lately. His safe zone gets bigger each day. He’s not worried about ordinary people, he’s worried about the higher ups that he’s screwed over.

I smoked my share in the 70’s and 80’s and never heard the term. I guess I just hung out with a different class of stoners...lol
Agreed...but he’d sure take the money and betray the USA.
Now, now...Wikipedia does have good background info on musicians and history.
Not too familiar with the history of the CIA, are you? Many, but far from all, of the folks who went to work for the OSS, the WW-II Office of Strategic Services, were shall we say "Left leaning". That fight was against the deadly enemy of the Soviet Union and it's leader Uncle Joe Stalin. Many of them stayed on and formed part of the core of the CIA. They recruited people like themselves, so even today there are pockets of Reds in the CIA.
Remember Valeri Plame, who is less than 2 years younger than The One, worked for Christians In Action. She recommended her husband, a notorious Bush basher to go to Niger to look for evidence that Saddam was buying or trying to buy Yellowcake. Information from foreign government sources indicated that he was, but Wilson did not find any evidence to indicate that. (He may not have looked very hard).
Hey I hadn’t heard of it either, before the Joker said it, and thought it was just childish, but my friends were laughing their heads off at the term of art.
How many CIA employees do you know personally?
One I know is a nice guy, and good with his hands, but not the brightest bulb on the string, compared to his contemporaries in similar slots. They hired him to an engineering position, (non covert) despite his lack of an engineering, or other technical, education, training or background beyond being a line supervisors in a couple of electronics factories.
That would be in the FBI's baliwick. Counter intelligence and domestic subversion are both their business.
Something about using Wikipedia as an “independent” source rubs me the wrong way, really... And, if he was working for the CIA, how did we ever find out about his trip to Pakistan in the first place. From what I recall he stated the trip was with a friend from college, to visit the friends’ family. This is the first I’ve ever heard of him actually meeting anyone in Pakistan...
Oh what a tangled web...
Trying to read between the lines here — is this a liberal paper trying to say that Obama & his Mama are Conservatives (I ask because of the “supposedly leftist” comment).
The world is getting wackier every day... Looks like the Commies are already turning on their “savior” because — like usual — they can’t get their plans to actually work and do what they say they will (re: the economy, etc...). Instead of admitting they were idiots to support and vote for this imbecile they’re going to try to say he’s really a Republican or something? Absolute insanity...
Of course, I could just be totally off in my assessment of the article...
