If you read the entire Houston Press article (very long) he had at least one handler, meaning another politician who helped his career along by systematically making certain Obama got credit for certain legislation that would help him in an election (I presume that’s what you were asking).
I mean does he have someone behind him, like George Soros, kind of his own Mack Daddy, or did he come up with all this plan and all this ambition on his own? Maybe it is Wright who came up with the idea of pushing Obama as the new twofer (looks black/speaks white).
