Roger Simon has written an article in which he asks, Is Obama a Manchurian Candidate?. He says not because he wants to go one better:

I can’t believe I’m actually asking if Obama is a Manchurian candidate. I am so NOT into conspiracy theories. For me, it was always Oswald with the Mannlicher-Carcano in the Texas School Book Depository. The only conspiracy I ever believed in was the Black Sox Scandal. And yet… and yet….

No, I still don’t believe it. It’s simply not true. Barack Obama is not the Manchurian candidate. That’s just an excuse. The only problem is…

He’s worse.

I suppose you could say he’s not because he never was anything other than far left traitorous scum with no brainwashing required. Simon can thus write:

He can and is doing more damage without being one. A Manchurian candidate could be exposed (yes, and possibly could not). Barack Obama doesn’t need that. He and the media and the brainwashed public that elected him are destroying our country (and the West) all by themselves. They don’t need any secret conspirators in the back room. They’re all there in public view. And how.

And then there are the bill of particulars. These are actions that only an enemy of the United States would ever wish to endorse. No one interested in the health and welfare of the US would ever contemplate, never mind undertake, any of the following.

Obamacare and the sabotaging of the immigration system were bad enough, but they are absolutely trivial compared to what is going on now. We have the next thing to a jihadist in the White House only [come on, only the “next thing to”, not the absolute real thing in itself??]. From the inability to name Islamic terrorists as Islamic, to the failure to name Jews as the objects of homicidal anti-Semitism at a kosher market, to the complete omission of the word Christian when 21 Christians have their heads cut off (simultaneously!) for being Christian, we have in the Oval Office not only the worst president in the history of our country, we have the worst person to be president.

And now he is opening the door to a huge number of Syrian refugees, who knows how many of whom may be members of ISIS, al Qaeda or some group we haven’t even heard of yet. If I were a Christian or a Jew or even some sort of wishy-washy Muslim, I’d make sure your door was locked at night and you had exercised your Second Amendment rights.

And if this weren’t enough, Obama is colluding with the Iranian ayatollahs as if he were an Shiite imam, not only to help them get nuclear weapons, but to form a permanent alliance with the United States against the Sunni world. How insane is that! (As a side issue, answer this question: What is more important – whether Iran gets the bomb or whether Bibi Netanyahu speaks in front of Congress? Absolutely stupid question, isn’t it? Only our administration thinks it’s the latter.)

It’s much too precious to worry about the exact details of what a novel written more than fifty years ago specifically meant by a Manchurian candidate. And the candidate was not the soldier who had come back from Korea brainwashed by America’s enemies, but his step-father who was the actual candidate of the story, who fully and completely understood in whose interests he was acting, or if not him, then it was his all-American mother who knew perfectly well in every detail what was being done.

Obama is the Manchurian candidate, the one who is acting, no doubt in league with others, to take the American Republic down, in the interests of ayatollahs or some other equally sinister group who have backed Obama who give him their instructions, which he carries forward like the zombie presence he is. Who writes what shows up on his teleprompter, which he then duly reads? But still no one will say what needs to be said. It is still all about policy and not about who the American people, with their media, have elected president. You may fear for the future, but if no one will call Obama out, there is no fixing what has gone wrong.
