One of the most fascinating angles on the increasingly creepy Barack Obama phenomenon is the question of “who be in de O-Man’s posse?” Who will be coming with him to Washington, D.C. if and when he is shoe-horned into the White House by the Diebold Corporation? I’ve noticed that during the primaries Obama kept center stage very much to himself, always with the spotlight focused solely on him. At first I figured that was just black ego, but more and more I think we need to be asking: who is the little man behind the curtain? Who is hiding in the shadows behind Barack Obama?

According to the London Telegraph, a very good paper for finding out what is really going on in the United States, since our own media won’t tell us: “If Barack Obama makes it to the White House, Britain seems set to have its first Kennedy as American Ambassador to the Court of St James’s since JFK’s father, Joe. Mandrake hears that it will be payback for Caroline Kennedy, JFK’s only surviving child and a power broker in the Democratic Party, for being such an enthusiastic cheerleader for Obama. …I am told that Miss Kennedy, 50, who has three children by her husband Edwin Schlossberg, a designer, was instrumental in persuading Ted Kennedy to back Obama, which was seen as the moment his campaign achieved critical mass. Obama is the first presidential candidate that Miss Kennedy has endorsed since she backed her uncle Ted’s unsuccessful bid for the Democratic nomination in 1980. The day after Obama became the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee in June, he appointed her to his Vice-Presidential Search Committee. She has contributed financially to Obama’s campaign, having earlier contributed to Hillary Clinton’s.”

There have been more than a few rumors of Obama having highly placed neocons in his inner circle of the same criminal nature as the pack, who came with Bush Junior. While most liberals and moderates have assumed that Obama will get us out of the Iraq War, it’s entirely possible Obama might lead us deeper into neocon-provoked wars in the Mid East, including their much-desired war on Iran. Americans need to learn that if they want peace, they need to vote for a man of strong ideals like Ron Paul, not some swarthy quota-hire president, whose wire-pullers are yet to be identified.

If and when Obama slithers into the Oval Office on the back of Diebold (or for the lack of a decent GOP opponent), who else will be packing their suitcases for Washington, D.C.? Will it be aging hippie ’60s retreads? Neocon warmongers? Or people like Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, and Louis Farrakhan, not to mention the suddenly, miraculously resurrected “Reverend” Jeremiah Wright? Why are we never allowed to get a good look at who is standing in the shadows behind this creature?
