Could Barack Obama have orchestrated the “Russia hoax” – what Donald Trump has called “the crime of the century”?
A closer look at Obama’s political rise in Chicago and his governing style in Washington suggests it’s far from implausible, and even likely.
While the mainstream media has long celebrated Obama for his eloquence, historic symbolism, and aspirational rhetoric about “hope and change,” his career tells a completely different story.
Beneath the polished image lies a consistent pattern of ruthless tactics and deceptive narratives straight from the Chicago machine playbook.
“The Chicago Way” refers to a hardball and often corrupt style of political operation that uses brute force, patronage, and intimidation to gain or maintain power.
Retaliation against enemies was the norm in Chicago as political opponents were often targeted using legal, bureaucratic, or personal means to silence or discredit them.
Obama’s first foray into politics foreshadowed this approach. In his 1996 Illinois State Senate race, rather than win through debate and democracy, Obama used legal technicalities to challenge the petition signatures of his opponents, including incumbent Alice Palmer, knocking them all off the ballot for an easy Obama victory.
A similar pattern emerged in Obama’s 2004 U.S. Senate race. In both the primary and general elections, damaging private divorce records of his opponents were made public that all but eliminated the opposition.
Though he denied involvement, his campaign strategist David Axelrod, a former journalist who had previously worked for one of the candidates, was widely suspected of orchestrating the leaks.
Obama’s rise is Chicago was also bolstered by alliances with unsavory characters. Real estate developer Tony Rezko funded all of Obama’s campaigns and was later convicted of fraud and corruption. Rezko also helped Obama purchase his Hyde Park mansion in a shady real estate deal that conveniently gave Rezko cash for his legal fees and Obama a better price and larger lot.
As president, Obama weaponized federal agencies to target opponents and protect allies. The 2013 IRS scandal revealed that conservative and Tea Party-aligned groups faced endless delays in receiving tax-exempt status and disproportionate audits. Obama famously dismissed the controversy by claiming there wasn’t “a smidgen of corruption.”
Other scandals further underscored Obama’s corrupt practices. The botched “Fast and Furious” gun-running operation and the Obama administration’s deceptive handling of the Benghazi attacks demonstrated a habitual reliance on misinformation and cover-ups. Obama’s false assurance about the Affordable Care Act – “If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor” – became one of the most notorious broken promises in modern politics.
In an October 25, 2010 Univision interview, Obama said bluntly, “We are going to punish our enemies and reward our friends who stand with us.”
During Obama’s presidency, his administration secretly obtained the phone records of Associated Press reporters and labeled Fox News journalist James Rosen a “criminal co-conspirator to legally obtain his personal communications.”
Civil libertarians were further disillusioned by the massive expansion of NSA surveillance programs under Obama’s watch, despite earlier promises to roll them back.
Racial politics also became a divisive tool under Obama’s leadership. Though he had marketed himself as a racial healer, Obama’s comments after incidents involving Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown were designed to inflame tensions and reinforce grievance narratives to help solidify his voting base, rather than promote unity.
A revisit of Obama’s radical ideological roots also deserves attention. In his best-selling memoir Dreams from My Father, Obama recounts being mentored in his childhood by Frank Marshall Davis, a known member of the Communist Party USA and a pro-Soviet columnist.
Davis was the spitting image of Barack, while Obama looked nothing like the Kenyan student whom he claimed was his biological father. In my 2012 film, Dreams from My Real Father, I presented evidence that Davis was in fact Obama’s real father.
Then there’s Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Obama’s longtime pastor, infamous for sermons proclaiming, “God damn America.”
Obama also maintained deep ties with Bill Ayers, a former domestic terrorist from the Weather Underground, who was a close friend and ideological influence over Obama, and likely the ghost writer of Obama’s memoir. Obama served on boards with Ayers and endorsed his book.
To his supporters, Barack Obama remains a dignified and transformative figure. However revisiting history reveals Barack Obama as a well-executed “Chicago Way” con man. Obama campaigned as mainstream candidate, a unifier and reformer, but then governed like a machine politician, with his many offenses shielded by a cheering compliant press.
With an open assessment of Obama’s history today, it’s entirely plausible that Obama himself, stung by Hillary Clinton’s 2016 loss and fearing the dismantling of his legacy, while still angry at Trump over calling out Obama’s birth certificate, instigated the “Russia hoax” collusion narrative. The hoax itself – a blend of outdated Cold War paranoia and Chicago-style vengeance – bears all the marks of Obama’s political DNA: vindictive, deceptive, and dangerously effective.

GREAT article. Thanks for posting. Barry Soetoro - D evil
Just look at what he did to his rival in order to win the state senate seat. It was a race he had no shot at winning, until he did.
Corruption and graft is intolerable and criminal in politics, until you are involved. Then it’s, “just how things get done”.
Thank you BO for opening your mouth and resetting the statute of limitations clock for the most likely charges.
I think BO’s lawyers are the biggest beneficiaries here because no matter what happens BO will need them the longer this goes on.
BO is a rich man but not as wealthy as Trump. I wonder how much they can drain BO’s bank account. Leftist donors probably would step up to defend him, but that means less money for the Dems.
Sure, but how to separate the “DNA” of Obama and his team from the “DNA” of Washington DC, the Clintons, the Democratic Party in general, the CIA, and the FBI?
I don’t think Obama thought this up, he’s got handlers. Ted Kennedy said O was the laziest, dumbest Senator he’d ever seen and that would be saying a lot.
I bet The Cankle is laughing her ass off.
“Chicago ain’t ready for reform”

But remember the national mainstream media assured us in 2006-2007 that Obama was the only virgin in the whorehouse that is Illinois politics (both parties).
And remember the Great Man himself assured us in 2014 that his administration had “not even a smidgeon of corruption”.
I only wish I can outlive this Marxist, Muzzie-loving bastard so I can leave more than a smidgeon of recycled Coors Light on his grave.
I don’t think Obama thought this up, he’s got handlers. Ted Kennedy said O was the laziest, dumbest Senator he’d ever seen and that would be saying a lot.
So, he’ll literally plead ignorance then.
Barry cut his teeth in electoral politics by getting sealed court documents related to his opponents leaked to the Media. I don’t know why anybody should doubt that he wouldn’t cook up some garbage on DJT using Hillary’s Steele Dossier.
Barry is unlikely to see jail time, but he will go down in history right next to Richard Nixon as an un-indicted, co-conspirator. Nixon was a jaywalker compared to Obama.
“Barry cut his teeth in electoral politics by getting sealed court documents related to his opponents leaked to the Media. “
Barry did nothing. He was the useful idiot.
I would like to see Rod Blagojevich spill the beans on Soetoro’s involvment in the horse trading that went on for his vacant senate seat after he was “elected” President. It is said that Obozo’s voice is heard on some of the tapes, and that is why the wire was pulled down. The democratic machine threw Blago under the bus, now would be a good time for payback.
“””I don’t think Obama thought this up, he’s got handlers. Ted Kennedy said O was the laziest, dumbest Senator he’d ever seen and that would be saying a lot.”””
He was chosen because he was easy to manipulate. Have you ever seen a POTUS who has no family in this country? He had no past, it was wiped clean. If you ever questioned any of it you were labeled a racist.
Here comes yet another right wing narrative casting Barack Obama as some kind of mastermind. He’s not.
Don’t get me wrong - he was a very good puppet for a while there - much better than the Biden puppet or the Kamala Puppet.
The arrogance of Obama and his minions in thinking that this would never come to light. I hope they all hang...literally.
Article sets out the pattern in Obama’s career that put him in the position to abuse the power of the Presidency. Thanks for posting.
Fair enough! I’ve gone back n forth on that issue hundreds of times. He’s still responsible.
A couple of things.
One...has his DNA all over it.... ICK!!
Two: obama is known as bathhouse Barry for a reason and it ain’t being smart in politics.
He is a puppet for whoever.
