I think being black got him (a totally inexperienced, brain-dead choomer) elected, but it was combined with serious leftist dollars and also political and other personalities who realized that they could use this anti-American, anti-Western dim bulb to achieve their goals.
The problem is that they are very firmly installed. Obama is a sociopath who will do whatever makes him popular and powerful and gets him what he wants, and the people controlling this particular sociopath need him to be their figurehead. Hitler was at least his own sociopath.
I think you are right!
