George Soros and Obama's veep

Soren Dayton of RedState notices that Barack Obama's choice of Jim Johnson to vet vice presidential choices is worse than previously understood:

...there is more on Johnson. In 2001, he joined Persueus LLC as a Vice Chairman. Perseus has a number of funds. Among them:

PERSEUS-SOROS BIOPHARMACEUTICAL FUND, L.P., which Perseus co-manages, was formed in 2000 with capital commitments totaling $449 million to make investments in life sciences companies

So Perseus is a business partner with George Soros. And Johnson is the Vice Chairman ...

Incidentally, as Say Anything Blog notes, Perseus also seems to own the publisher of the Scott McClellan book

So George Soros' business partner is helping select Obama's veep. How interesting that Obama just keeps coming up with friends (and appointees) with very dubious assocations.

Obama is Soros’ puppet.

[driftdiver]

I’ve been saying here for weeks that Obama is controlled by Soros.

How is Soros getting away with all of this? He is essentially trying to overthrow the American govt.

[penowa]

Obama is a wholly owned property of Soros et.al. Unfortunately, McCain is too.

[SE Mom]

Connections...connections..

I have this recurring thought that Obama, while certainly not stupid, may not fully realize who and what is behind his candidacy...(or maybe I’m the naive one).

"Obama is Soros’ puppet."

Sock or meat ?

[Miss Didi]

Connections...connections...is right. Count on Rush to read this today—Lifson is one of his favorite columnists.

Puppet strings or not, Barack Hussein Obama is the apex of the hate-America, domestic enemy in this country. His election as president would be the greatest coup any enemy has ever scored against this country and could easily lead to the worst, horrific disaster in our nation's history.

This is going to force Barry to throw Johnson under the bus. But he’ll just replace him with another Soros crony...... one with connections to Soros that aren’t so obvious.

Thank you. Somebody had to say it.

The MSM and the Chattering Class are all pulling for Obama. They are hard 60's socialists and Obama is one of their own.

[vaudine]

Meantime, 90% of blacks and many white Obamabots don't want to know. They are mesmerized with the "Messiah" and don't care about his record, his associates, his leftist views/plans for America--just don't try to tell them because they do not want to know.

"How is Soros getting away with all of this? He is essentially trying to overthrow the American govt."

Well, who's going to stop him?  Based on what I read in FR, there are enough McCain haters to make Obama's fairy tale come true.

lol...
I've heard this about every presidential candidate since Ike. Fear mongering will not win this election. Get back to the limited government message or lose.

[driftdiver]

“The MSM and the Chattering Class are all pulling for Obama.”

I know, I just sometimes get frustrated at the hypocrisy they display on a daily basis.

The only thing socialism does well is get people killed.

[ReleaseTheHounds]

Another great catch... God bless the internet and bloggers.

He’s done it before in other countries. How old is he? He looks 90. Is he in good health, I want to know. But, I guess I’m dreaming he will not be with us long because he has friends to think the same as he so if we lose one there are others to replace him.

[Jeff Head]

I have not heard that message about every president, and I have been aorund for the same time frame...but that does not mean it is not so either way. Obama's own words and his associations shows in fact the apex of the hate-America far left in this country.

I can just as easily say to recognize that and get the word out...or lose.

I am getting the word out about his associations, his positions, and their potential impact in the best way I can and will continue to do so.

If the opposition or others want to call that fear mongering...fine...I will continue to get the word out. Others are free to get whatever word out they are inclined to disiminate. Between us, perhapos we can have an impact.

[Pinetop]

I hate to say it, but Soros is among the lesser of the evils who might be engineering the dim-witted Barack Hussein Mohammed Obama. I vacillate between Soros, the Chicago machine and, scarily, Islamo-fascists.

This is a presidential candidate who won’t release his birth certificate—hmmm what’s in a name? The presidential candidate who refuses to release his transcripts from Columbia University. The presidential candidate who refuses to release records from his stint in the Illinois senate. Does anyone else think this is unusual?

I disagree with those who think Obama is smart. I think Obama is a nefarious mock-up of the Jimmy Smits character on West Wing. We’re being bamboozled.
