Is Obama vulnerable to blackmail?
American Thinker ^ | 12-19-08 | James Lewis

Suppose you're Bashir Assad or Putin, and you watch the Blago Blowup, a month before the next president even takes office.

What are you thinking right now?

First, Obama looks vulnerable to blackmail. His homey network is full of people who can't stand the light of day. They know all kinds of things the leftist media suppress -- people like Auchi (the Iraqi billionaire), Rezko (the corrupt Syrian multimillionaire), Emil Jones (the Godfather of Southside), and the whole Daley Machine.

That's not even counting the freaky radicals or the pols Obama has surrounded himself with. Mayor Daley's brother is one of the official transition leaders, for heavens' sake, along with Valerie Jarrett and a whole, privately paid operation that doesn't have to follow Federal rules on transparency, lobbying or accounting.

Leverage on the people around Obama is the first step. So you ask your handy secret agents in the US to beat the bushes for more blackmail material. Easy enough. Chicago is a Machine town, and there's always a rumor mill in a town full of neighborhood taverns.

How do you blackmail someone that could care less?
It’s called the Audacity of Smoke.

(grin!) that’s clever!

I wonder if he’s gay?
I wonder if she’s trans-gender, and I wonder if her name is really “Michael”?
I wonder if that is the nature of the potential blackmail?
I wonder if that is the reason for him cozying-up to the homosexual community?
I wonder if he intends to “come out of the closet” during his Presidency?

All of this is unprofitable speculation: yet this is the precise sort of speculation that he encourages by being secretive about something that ought to be fairly straightforward: precisely where was he REALLY born, and who were his REAL parents?

I’m Sure Putin already has a complete dossier on him to be presented at their first face-to-face meeting.

Putin will probably own him outright.

It probably won’t be long before we see SS-18 missles in Cuba, and the only response from Obama’s cabinet will be the chirping of crickets...

"I think the fact that he is putting Hillary on staff is proof that he is vulnerable to blackmail. Do you think he would do it otherwise ..."

I agree with the sentiment of your post.

How does this explain how the so-called news media rolled over these past couple of years? Let me try... Obama doesn't care what anyone knows about him or thinks they know about him, he gets a free pass, and will continue to get a free pass. The current level of attention is (despite what I and probably plenty of others would like to think) is just the media alibi for not having done what it says is its job.

Like OJ Simpson, in time, Obama will be in deep shiite. Bank on it. Both conceited arrogant punks. They always slam into brick walls. It usually happens when no one is looking, and comes as a “big surprise”.
