Topic: Sorry to rain on your parade Americans
You Americans think you've gotten a wildcard in office, someone different, an outsider who's somehow slipped into the White House under the nose of the war and oil-mongering elite. However, with a quick search into Obama's family ties we see that Obama is probably one himself, or, at least in their grips:
1. Lolo Soetoro (Obama's step father) worked for the Indonesian government, was an Indonesian military officer, and a geologist (and who knows what else) for Mobil Oil Corp. 2. Barack Obama, Sr. (Obama's biological father) was also an oil company employee as well as a government finance officer in Kenya. Is it only a coincidence that Obama's mother married 2 American Ivy League educated foreign students who ended up working in government and the oil industry back in their home countries? 3. Ann Dunham herself (Obama's mother) was also an Ivy Leaguer, and was actually related (albeit distantly) to both Dick Cheney and President Harry S Truman. Going back just a bit in his family tree tells me plainly that there is good reason to suspect that Obama, like the rest of the Presidents since the 19th century, is connected to some sort of bi-partisan political-elite through family and friend relationships who have a vested interest in oil, war, foreign governments and finance.
Sorry to rain on your parade Americans, but do you really think anything will change?
