The Clinton’s did have it and they were the original Birthers. But those behind Team Obama are far more fearsome than even Team Clinton. A member of Obama’s church’s former quire members. Thus at a secret night meeting in the early summer of 2008 Obama and Clinton met with at the behest of some unnamed person(s) with some appointed ones to convey the decision to Hillary, at which meeting she was told she was no longer wanted and to drop out of the race with the “carrot” of the Secretary of State job and chance to run a major grift there to enrich herself, and the immediate paying off of her then millions of dollars in campaign debts, and planted “stick” visions of her waking up with a dead horse’s head in her bed with a note attached of what comes next, if she didn’t follow their “advice”. Those that were following the Clinton Campaign and Obama Campaign back then remember that “news” event very well. The Clintons met the match as to ruthlessness when they went up against those behind Barack Obama. Search on that secret meeting between Hillary and Barack (and the movers and shakers) back in about the May/June time frame in 2008. Hillary getting forced out started the PUMA movement by severely disappointed Hillary supporters who then went after Obama regarding his forged documents and they got Atty Berg to file his lawsuit challenging Obama birth certificate prior the the Democratic National Party Convention. The online far-left OBOTs have tried to re-write history of activities about Obama birth location narrative starting in late 2007 on the Hardball show with Chris Mathews introducing the comment about Hillary operatives dropping remarks that Obama was not born in the USA and Hillary’s operatives continued it into the first half of 2008 until she was forced out. The PUMAs then became the first organized publicly active and vocal Birthers.
“But those behind Team Obama are far more fearsome than even Team Clinton.”
Below is an old FR thread with an even older (1938) booklet called “The Revolution Was” about FDR and the New Deal. Most of the booklet reminds me of Obama. Even some of his speeches use the same words and ideas as FDR.
The excerpt below reminds me of Obama as described by Biden:
“I mean, you’ve got the first sort of mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that’s a story-book, man.”

Excerpts:
The scientific study of revolution included of course analysis of opportunity. First and always the master of revolutionary technic is an opportunist...
But the one indispensable ingredient is economic distress, and if there is enough of that the mixture will take care of itself. [Obama was first elected during the crash of the economy due to the real estate and banking.]
...the danger that a revolutionary elite would be waiting to take advantage of it.
This revolutionary elite was nothing you could define as a party. It had no name, no habitat, no rigid line. The only party was the Communist Party, and it was included, but its attack was too obvious and its proletarianism too crude, and moreover, it was under the stigma of not belonging. Nobody could say that about the elite above. It did belong, it was eminently respectable, and it knew the American scene. What it represented was a quantity of bitter intellectual radicalism infiltrated from the top downward as a doctorhood of professors, writers, critics, analysts, advisers, administators, directors of research, and so on a prepared revolutionary intelligence in spectacles.
There was no plan to begin with. But there was a shibboleth that united them all: “Capitalism is finished.” There was one idea in which all differences could be resolved, namely, the idea of a transfer of power...
The prestige of the elite was natural for many reasons; but it rested also upon one practical consideration. When the opportunity came a Gracchus [politician born into Roman aristocracy] would be needed. The elite could produce one. And that was something the Communist Party could not hope to do.
