Long before Soros, Obama had benefactors like Prince Alaweed (who presumably paid for his Harvard Law degree). BTW, it is Alaweed who is now a big shareholder of FoxNews (NewsCorp).

I certainly think Soros has influence but I don't think he could replace Alaweed.

Regarding the entire notion of puppets and puppeteers, it is just hard to imagine that Obama would be behaving as such a complete greenhorn if he had someone behind him with any real experience on the world stage. Also, when one looks at Obama's actions, one sees a lot of Rahm Emmanuel's influence and it is hard to imagine that a puppeteer would cede any power to that idiot.

I certainly don't doubt that Obama has been bought and paid for, but he still seems to be pretty much in charge of his own destiny if one believes the account of his telling Reid that he was thinking of returning to Chicago after his first term as Senator was over. IIRC, he told Reid he was bored with being a Senator and was thinking of running for governor...and Reid talked him into running for president because he despised Hillary.
