Interesting article. When Obama's campaign was asked about a meeting with the Bilderbergers .. they refused to answer yes or no.
Mr. Change, eh??
[edit on 6/11/2008 by FlyersFan]
Obama said in a statement that Jim Johnson had decided to quit the unpaid position in order to avoid distracting from the process of gathering information about possible vice presidential candidates.
A leader of Democrat Barack Obama's vice presidential research team has resigned amid criticism over his personal loan deals.

I suppose this will not dismiss the 'connection' between Obama and Bilderberger?
I look forward to your replys.

You really need to follow the sequence of events to understand what happened:
1. Johnson was named to find the VP for Obama.
2. Hillary met with Obama privately.
3. Hillary quit race and endorsed Obama.
4. Obama names Elder and Kennedy to be on "committee" with Johnson.
5. MSM focuses on Elder's role in pardoning Mark Rich and Weathermen.
6. Suddenly story about Johnson's Countrywide loans comes out of nowhere.
7. McCain criticizes Johnson's loan deal.
8. Johnson resigns from Obama's VP committee.
Now Johnson is out of the spotlight, and there's a "legitimate" reason, the Countrywide story, for his resignation. This story will be in the news for 1 day, and will be forgotten and never mentioned again. In the MSM's version of events, Johnson comes out looking like the good guy who resigned just to keep from distracting from the Obama campaign.
And all this happened without the MSM focusing on Johnson's position at Perseus, how exactly Perseus makes money, or how Perseus is partnered with George Soros. And Obama gets to keep his "I don't associate with Washington insiders" image intact.

Or maybe it could be that Obama never had anything to do with Perseus or the "Bilderbergers" to begin with? Most rational people will realize that Obama's campaign simply made a bad choice and quickly realized that it had been a bad choice. If you want to continue to believe the least likely scenario over the most likely one, though, feel free to do just that.
By the way: You may want to read up on George Soros, because he's far from this "evil genius" that you want to make him out to be. In fact, he's even joked in the past that he'd use his entire fortune to take down George W. Bush if someone could guarantee that it'd happen.

Again, this comes back to Obama's message of change. If he is truly concerned with Lobbyists running Washington, wouldn't he take at least 15 seconds to do a google search on someone before appointing them to such an important task? This reeks of corruption.

Why/how does Obama attract so much controversy?
He's not even Prez yet and he's already made enough bad mistakes to practically last an entire administration.
Another one bites the dust.
If they aren't quitting on him, he's throwing them under the bus.
...bump, bump, bump...
It's quite a bumpy road the "The White House"
Again, this comes back to Obama's message of change.
