Apologies for the vanity post, but this question is really piquing me.
I remember reading something kind of wacky that claimed that sometime in 2007, Bill and Hilary Clinton were called before a panel of the top international financeers, mainstream press lords and other political bankrollers and told in no uncertain terms that they would not be going back into the White House in 2009. Does anyone have any leads to how this story began?
The naïve may well dismiss that anecdote as nothing more than a paranoid John Birch-type speculation, but while one should always be skeptical of conspiracy theories, there might be something to this one. I remember sitting in the doctor’s office in late 2004 with nothing but Newsweek to entertain me as I waited. Inside, a quarter page was devoted to profiling each new senator-elect in the country. Conspicuously, two full pages were devoted to profiling a most uninspiring and unremarkable new boy from Illinois (about whom I had heretofore read mostly only either here or in paleo-conservative publications). At that moment I knew in my heart they were going to make him our new deity in just four years and I resolved to quit the U.S. if he was elected.
He was elected, and I left the U.S. for the last time on 10 December 2008.
While wanting to avoid propagating paranoid fantasy, given the MSM’s role in the fabrication of Barak Obama’s career, totally from scratch and the undue space it devoted to a man who had absolutely nothing remarkable beyond a Harvard degree (not uncommon among new senators), I cannot help but wonder just who, behind the scenes, was so determined to "make" Obama. Something tells me the Chicago Machine couldn't possibly do it all alone.
Any sources, even paranoid ones for comparison?
Soros and Satan.
Ubama's ACORN gang had the caucuses sewn up years ahead of time. They had a plan, and they executed it perfectly. They shut all the other delegates out.
Had it not been for ACORN's shenanigans, Hillary would have been the nominee.
“I knew in my heart they were going to make him our new deity in just four years”
If you knew that in 2004, then why are you asking us any questions?
It’s all about fraud, and it will take years to unravel the story, long after the conspirators are gone.
what scares me now is that more and more former democrats have left the “left.” this will make the leftest thugs really have to “employ” stronger and more fraudulent tactics to “win” the nomination for “the one” again.
fasten your seat-belts it’s going to be a bumpy ride, betty.
You mean like communism ISN'T dead. That if we don't wake up we'll have a communist in the White House?
“Oh, let’s not quibble about who killed who...”
get yer butt back home and help us clean house.
Exactly, and every dem at the top knew it......You live by Acorn, you can die by Acorn, the primary breakdowns were pretty clear that something wasn’t right.
You know, your post sounds like another crazy conspiratorial post at first, but you are 100% correct. Obama’s 11 highest winning percentages against Hillary were ALL from caucus contests. The odds of Obama having his top 11 winning percentages all coming from caucus contests and none from his primary wins is over 10,000 to one.
2. It is common in both major parties that the person who gives the keynote speech at a convention, as Obama did in 2004, will be widely talked about as a candidate for the next election. This is especially true if the speech goes over well.
So your conspiracy theory should probably focus on the people in the Democratic party who picked Obama to give this speech and why they did so.
sounds like either DEBKA file or the old Chuck Harder radio show to me
And I’m still waiting for the medals to be pinned on James O’Keefe and Hannah Giles for their singularly brilliant expose to shine a very bright light on those scumbags.
Thank goodness for those young people and the others like them that I know are out there.
But you repeat yourself. lol
How innocent those times seem now. Whatever happened to Chuck Harder anyways...is he still alive? Never mind, just checked his Wikipedia article and yes, he is still alive, but no longer broadcasting. Thanks for the memories anyhow...

"With the New Party’s rise and its entanglements with ACORN [Association of Community Organizers For Reform Now] came the rise of Barack Obama. According to Stanley Kurtz, “Acorn is the key modern successor of the radical 1960’s ‘New Left,’ with a ‘1960’s-bred agenda of anti-capitalism’ to match.” And Barack Obama was ACORN’s lawyer."

From Obama's official website:
When Obama met with ACORN leaders in November, he reminded them of his history with ACORN and his beginnings in Illinois as a Project Vote organizer, a nonprofit focused on voter rights and education. Senator Obama said, "I come out of a grassroots organizing background. That's what I did for three and half years before I went to law school. That's the reason I moved to Chicago was to organize. So this is something that I know personally, the work you do, the importance of it. I've been fighting alongside ACORN on issues you care about my entire career. Even before I was an elected official, when I ran Project Vote voter registration drive in Illinois, ACORN was smack dab in the middle of it, and we appreciate your work.”
ACORN (Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now) is the nation's largest community organization of low- and moderate-income families, with over 350,000 member families organized into 800 neighborhood chapters in 104 cities across the country. Since 1970 ACORN has taken action and won victories on issues of concern to its members, including better housing for first time homebuyers and tenants [Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac scandal! -ETL], living wages for low-wage workers, more investment in our communities from banks and governments, and better public schools.

As always, good work.
Precisely my point. I should have added the s/ tag.
