My hypothesis is that Obama was groomed by more powerful permanent bureaucrats. Cough CIA cough The ones will security clearances and their hands on the money spigot that is the USG.

No question Obama was, and remains, the Real Manchurian/Kenyan Candidate, a charming, non-threatening black guy who was the perfect front for The System.

Certainly Pritzker and the Chicago Dem machine were part of his selection. And I agree, definitely the CIA had to be heavily involved.

I remember reading in a book (Paul Street's "Obama and the Future of the Democratic Party? or Adolph Reed or Bruce Dixon?) that he was set up with a nice luxury condo on Lake Michigan. He commuted back there every night after a few hours giving speeches while the black women, as usual, did all the real community organizing. He was also a law lecturer, not a constitutional scholar. He published nothing scholarly. And there was a Boston Globe article about there his being used to help gentrify the near South Side of Chicago. I need to get Chat GPT to look that up.

They sure wrapped him up with a bow as a constitutional scholar. Always a narrative to push, never the truth. ItтАЩs like lying is the only skill Dems have leftтАФтАФwith a compliant partisan media, they havenтАЩt needed those skills bc all of the lies worked. Until now.
