Who's Pulling Obama's Strings?
FoxNews ^ | October 28, 2009 | by Liz Peek

Posted on 11/01/2009 11:28:01 AM PST by TribalPrincess2U

Obama fans are in a tight spot. As the White House turns ever harsher and more divisive, supporters are scrambling to explain why President Obama sounds so very different from Campaigner Obama. There are two possible explanations, neither of which is flattering. The first is that Obama was insincere on the campaign trail. The second is that his advisors – David Axelrod and Rahm Emanuel -- are in control. The latter view is bound to take hold and it will not boost the president’s flagging popularity ratings.

Many who voted for President Obama feel deceived. When he said in Florida last year “we cannot afford the same political games and tactics that are being used to pit us against one another,” people believed him. When he extolled “rejecting fear and division for unity of purpose,” people believed him. When he said on election night “I will listen to you, especially when we disagree,” people believed him.

This is like saying that Goebbels and Himmler were in control of Hitler. Obama is the most radical, leftist President ever. He is in control.

Yeah, but who pulls Soros’ strings?

This is an international organization that has been in the making since the 19th century in some camps, since the 1920’s in another. But it is a concerted effort to eliminate nationhood, implement globalism, and return all society to a two-tier structure, the rulers and the serfs.

The middle class has been and is their primary target.

BS. Check Obama's past. Mentored and schooled by Frank Marshall Davis, Bill Ayers, Bernadette Dohrn, Farrakhan, Rev Wright, Danny Davis, et. al. A disciple of Alinski. A community organizer who taught tactics to ACORN. Listen to what he said long before he became a senator.

Let's stop giving this Marxist a pass. He is not the puppet. He is the puppeteer who has been using people like Axelrod as tools to fool and deceive. Obama is no victim or empty suit. He is the perpetrator and mastermind behind this reforming America into his view of what it should be.

The best portrait of Soros and his influence is in that Saturday Nite Live Bailout Skit.

Anyone who didn’t see it last fall should have a look. Pretty funny, but also more on the money than any political skit they’ve done.

Soros is the strategist. Axelrod plans and Rahm break knees as needed, the Chicago machine politics pulls strings where it can and washes the money. Then comes Dr. Dean, who runs The FAR LEFT faction the controlling faction, of the DNC who takes their orders from everyone above, EXCEPT OBAMA. He is only a PAWN!

I didn't say he was a puppet or victim or to give him a pass. BUT he is not the mastermind behind this movement. The movement began before he was born.

No one is saying he is doing it by himself. My point is that his advisors are not the ones controlling him. He is running the show. Goebbels and Himmler weren’t controlling Hitler. Beria wasn’t controlling Stalin.

Don't forget the Saudis in Obama’s past...he didn't bow to the Saudi Prince because that's what all kids growing up in Hawaii do out of sheer instinct and tradition.
I believe that Obama thinks he is uniquely qualified to be King. Something in him believes he is the Favorite Son and worthy of that title. He has been given a lot over the years...access to education he was not qualified for...a book advance he did not honor...a law job he did not perform at(I know this as a fact)...a speech at the Democratic convention that was well-timed...the extraordinary unsealing of sealed papers to gain elective office., an extraordinary house in Hyde Park..etc, etc, etc.
He truly has guardian “demons”, not angels protecting him. He was chosen by others; he sees himself as the Chosen One which he surely was. He thinks that he is uniquely integral to their purposes. He has been groomed to believe that. He believes that they will not forsake him, but his usefulness has its limits. He basks in the glory for now, but I believe that he has nearly exhausted his usefulness.

I think the ideological roots are the same.

But the farthest back that I can trace any organized effort to create a global, two-tier society is in response to the success of the Industrial Revolution combined with US-style government, which is that of giving the people as much freedom as possible.

By the middle of the 19th century, it was clear to the world that the “American” way was a very serious threat to all power structures. It was at that point that the various new approaches to totalitarianism began to be kicked around academe.

This article reminds me too much of the Rat blogs during Bush’s term. Wooooo. Carl Rove controls Bush. Bush’s brain. Dick Cheney controls Bush. Personally, I don’t think anyone is twisting Obama’s arm or is “controlling” him. I think he and his buddies are just like-minded. However, Axelrod, Soros, etc. are just more politically savvy behind the scenes and Obama makes a better front-man.

He is puppet with a desire to be “all” to everybody” like a rock star and easily led.

He’s was seen way back when as qualified for being a good puppet candidate. He had “EVERYTHING” they needed. His BC and everything else about this person is well hidden. It takes many backers to accomplish what has been “NOT TRANSPARENT” IMO

The movement began before he was born.

So Marx, Lenin and Trotsky are running the show? Give me a break. The Left used to say that Reagan was just a puppet. Save the conspiracy theories. Obama is the disciple and the President of the United States of America. He will do what HE wants to do, not what Soros or Axelrod wants--the former provides him the money and the latter the propaganda.

Obama is nothing but a figurehead. He's always been a tool for somebody else's use. He's been a tool from his college days through his community organizing days, through his legislative days in Illinois, through his Senate days, ans even now as president.

He is there to read somebody else's words from the teleprompter and to memorize lies for when he doesn't have the teleprompter.

There are a lot of people in and out of government who are using him. Granted, he needs to be in agreement with the policies and ideals of those who control him, but he is ideologically in tune with his handlers.

The democrats accused Cheney of being the real president back towards the beginning of Bush's presidency. In the current administration, Obama is just a figurehead and the real president is Rahm Emmanuel. If there is a co-president or a "vice-president" next to Emmanuel, it is Axelrod. But, in all cases, Obama is too weak and too inexperienced and too full of himself to actually be a leader. He doesn't have the experience nor the leadership qualities to be the real president.

Obama is to the U.S. what Queen Elizabeth is to the UK.

Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, Mao, Castro, etc. had many “backers” who did their bidding. They didn’t do it all by themselves. The real question is who is in charge. I think it is nonsense to believe that Obama is just following the orders of someone or some cabal.

Yeah right. Obama is just following orders. He is not responsibile for anything that happens on his watch. Figurehead my ass.

His "handlers" are in tune with Obama, not the other way around. He is the one appointing them to these positions, whether they are heads of an agency like Eric Holder or czars like Vann Jones. Obama is a dangerous ideologue.
