It goes back much further. Somehow -- perhaps through the left-wing contacts of Obama's white grandparents -- the boy who would become Barack was tagged very early by influential leftists as a literal Manchurian Candidate. When he came of college age, he was sent off to the best ivy league schools. Someone arranged (paid for) the Harvard Law Review article that began to forge Obama's celebrity, and someone brought the article to the attention of receptive mainstream media. Someone made the connection for Obama in Chicago's far left circles and introduced him to Ayres and Dorn, among others of that crowd. Someone greased his way through an extraordinarily rapid rise in Illinois law and political circles.
The outline of all this is easy for anyone to discern from a look at Obama's resume prior to 2008. One doesn't need any special qualifications to see the outlines of the truth in his resume -- no special qualifications except an open mind, that is.
If you’ve read Obama’s law review article, you know it’s pitiful. If someone paid for that, they were ripped off.
