Soros is a big player, but Obama is no puppet. He's been associating with some very evil people for quite a long time, long before he even launched his senate run. Many Jihadists, Marxist revolutionaries like Ayers, plus a whole whack of those kind of nuts; black liberation army/black power types, most of which have adopted fundamentalist Islamic principles and have large networks, even a "christian church front complete with fake America and whitey hating "preacher". It made a very good front and regional command center until whitey" started getting suspicious.
No, he's no puppet. He spent a lot of time setting up recruiting centers, community "education" centers training his unit leaders to take and expand operations in other areas.
He’s a puppet in the sense that he’s doing following THEIR plan, it’s just better for them, that he’s in cahoots with them.
