Given Obama’s background, why is he even running for President? Who is backing him, and why?
That's exactly what I've been wondering. There was an article a while back about how some powerbrokers in Chicago decided to make themselves a Senator and picked Obama at his point. I imagine Soros is behind Obama - it's certainly someone with a lot of moxie who could figure out how to beat Hillary at her own game. That caucus strategy that took HRC by surprise wasn't thought up by Obama - all he seems to be able to do is give a speech.
