Actually, recent threads on FR (still current) are persuading me that Obama was coming anyway -- he was a "project" of the Democratic Party, a hothouse candidate groomed for years since Vernon Jordan ran him around Clintonista dinner-parties in 2001 and 2002.
Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., was one of the perps; Dick Durbin was another; and Tom Daschle, yet another. Many hands handed him along to the nomination, and prepared the ground for his illegitimate candidacy by tweaking U.S. law "as if" to make a pretended cure of his constitutional ineligibility: it's claimed that the Democratic leadership were the ones behind McCain's eligibility "cure" back in 2006-7 because they were actually preparing the ground for Obama.
And I think a Russian “firm” was hired to make the paper trail and see it all work, and thus their lightspeed “expulsion” from America before any of whichever good guys are left here could figure out what happened.
Antonio Villaraigosa is their current project.
