“My theory is that the Chicago cabal that controls Obama extorts cash from foreign powers—among other entities—in exchange for favorable U.S. policy. One of their clients, Iran, has chosen Chuck Hagel as the next defense secretary.”
I see a variation on this theme. I see Obama and his regime being totally beholden and in the tank for Mid Eastern powers because they illegally contributed vast sums to Obama’s election campaign (primarily via the Internet) and Obama is an owned man. He must jump to their tune or they could rat him out at any moment as to how they financed his election. He was and is our Manchurian candidate. It was easy for him to acquiesce to their blackmail as he thinks just like them anyway and has a Muzzie mindset.
