I’m not suggesting the story is true, but it’s a fun speculation. Simmons did write it in first person as if it were factual. And it’s certainly panning out, except that Ahmedinejad is no longer in power.
I would say BHO was already in the Presidential pipeline when he gave that speech at the 2004 DNC convention, and his Chicago handlers and NOI had been making way for him since he entered politics in the early 1990s. Before that, there’s little doubt his education was paid for by Arabs and he went to “finishing school” in Pok-ee-stahn. So in hindsight he can be seen coming from a long way off.
Here’s a tangential thought: if time travel were real, isn’t it likely that most of the audience in Ford’s Theater on the night Lincoln was assassinated would have been visitors from the future? And wouldn’t the same would be true for most of the people who ate at the restaurant in the Twin Towers the night before 9/11? It’s almost worth sifting through checks and credit card receipts to see if they link up to real people or not.
I understand what you are saying. I just think that there are better alternatives to the BHO fit for the 3 words. I’m looking at it in a ‘how’d he get here from there’ sorta way and I just can’t see the dots lining up to make it happen.
I could of course be wrong. I sure wish he’d fess up to what he really intended them to be, but then that would take a lot of the ‘fun’ (lacking a better term) out of the speculating.
And don’t get me started on the potentialities of TT scenarios. We will be posting for months ;)
