Here's the thing that puzzles me about any grand conspiracy theory to take over the economy and the country.
As a free market capitalist system, the U.S. economy is far more productive (and profitable) than as a government-controlled demand-economy. A mere one per cent of the former is going to be worth far more than one hundred per cent of the latter.
Why destroy what you are attempting to steal?
It was my observation several months ago that Obama is nothing more than a puppet on a string. That he had been carefully chosen, manicured, set up and exploited by someone else, someone who felt a need to remain behind the curtain. It was opinion then, and is still, that the moment Obamb begins to take himself seriously, or is no longer of use to the puppeteers he will simply be eliminated. And you can bet those who are closest to him are also controlled by the puppeteers and would be in a position to dispose of him on a moment's notice.
The interesting thing to me is that I doubt Obama even knows how he's being used and just how little he controls the situation. Here's a guy that's gone through life with never being told no, or at least from what we know of him. He honestly thinks he is where he is because he has some valuable ability to get something done. Not so. He is doing the bidding of someone who has convinced him that its his own doing. They certainly chose someone narcissistic enough to fall for the flattery and trappings of success.
In my book he is in great danger. Not from the Right but from those who are behind him. They plan is probably to use Obama long enough to get the heavy lifting done, then replace him with Biden when there's nothing left to do but complete the take over.
I know it sounds tinfoil hat-ish, but if you lay everything out and look at it like a big puzzle it's one of the few scenarios that makes every piece fit with none left over. The force behind this depended on the fact that a large percentage of the black voter population would vote for him simply because he's black. They knew they could get another large block from ACORN and other community organization types who make a living from sowing discontent among the poor. Every aspect was carefully planned and carried out with the hoped-for result of getting a man who is an empty suit, who is possibly not even eligible to hold the office, elected.
Other parts of the puzzle include an economic crisis right in the middle of the election process, the TARP debacle, etc. There are just too many ‘coincidences’ that came along during the election cycle.
Just food for thought on a rainy day here in the South.
