“it has been theorized that the decision to ‘anoint’ BHO WAS made back in 2004.”
Actually, this is plausable. Look at the circumstances of his election to the U.S. Senate. The Chicago Tribune actually filed suit to get the Republican nominee’s divorce records unsealed for the purpose of damaging his candidacy. This is unprecedented, as far as I can tell. The result was not only did the nominee (Jack Ryan) withdraw, but Republicans were unable to find a feasible candidate. Clearly, something unusual was going on for Obama’s sake. He got adoring media attention even though he accomplished little as a state legislator. Then, he was elected President even though he was a first-term Senator with no major legislation under his belt. I don’t know of this ever happening in American history.
The plot, IMO, goes back way further than 2004. Yes, plot as in sinister and suspect.
