Yes. There is no other explanation for his rise from obscurity to the presidency in what -- in political terms -- was the speed of light.
Or is he a political genius, a maneuvering Bill Clinton with similar luck and timing?
No, he is no genius, political or otherwise. Somehow, relatively early in his life, he came to the attention of at least one powerful, wealthy Leftist who proceeded to grease the rails for Obama's rise. Again, there is no other explanation.
Throughout his comparatively brief career prior to running for the U.S. senate, Obama behaved in every way like someone who knew the fix was in on his behalf. He never worked hard at any job he had (and he isn't working hard at this presidency). He flitted from academia, to a law firm, to "community organizer," to the state legislature, to U.S. senator, pausing only long enough in each to grab onto the next rung up the ladder.
Along the way, he increasingly accumulated wealth, producing not one, but two scene-setting autobiographies. Amazing for a man few had ever heard of until a mere six years ago.
I don't know that one can call it a conspiracy, per se. I don't know that they did anything illegal, even. Instead, I believe one or more radical Leftists groomed Obama to be a front man so they could control the U.S. presidency for at least four years. Think of all the damage they can do. Not just the obvious damage, either. Think of all the intelligence they can gather, all the national security secrets they are discovering. Think of how easy it is for them to plant their operatives in influential spots in the vast federal bureaucracy. Think of the contracts and leases they can send their own way. Think of the regulations they can put in place to favor their own.
By electing Obama, this country has done the equivalent of electing a Soviet spy during the height of the cold war. Think of what that means.
There was a very interesting accounting by a business man in Fresno Ca about a dinner party mid 90’s in Moscow when the host’s wife who had some status in the communist party had quite abit to say about Obama becoming our next POTUSA. This didn’t/wasn’t much of a story beyond FR but Icpied it for reference.
