Susan, you are an unsung hero to many of us. Obama and whoever "discovered" him as a perfect Manchurian candidate, probably one of those older white men you mentioned, (maybe Bill Ayers's father???) will eventually be known. I hope within our lifetimes.

I would add naive to the list of Obama's perfect patsy traits. I've always believed that he was so taken by Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals (the Bible he taught and operated by as a community organizer), he naively thought he could extrapolate the chaos-driven theory beyond the community level (where the chaos was containable) to the national level (remember Travon?) and then globally (Hello, Arab Springs!). Europe bore the brunt of that fiasco and they still worship him, SMH. As I must be fair to Alinsky, it's a clever and effective strategy at the local level, but I think even old Saul rolled a bit in his grave when Obama took it on the road.
