Barack Obama and his followers continue to revise the history of his ascendance, pretending his campaign was rooted among the “outsiders.” The public line is a fiction, as even the most rudimentary research reveals. In fact, Obama’s own words document his intense courtship of the rich and powerful.
…“they” still “put in who they want to put in” to no small extent. The predominantly white U.S. business and political establishment still makes sure that nobody who questions dominant domestic and imperial hierarchies and doctrines can make a serious (“viable”) run for higher office – the presidency, above all.
Very well researched article definitely worth reading.
