Is Obama the real deal?

I'm not quite willing to believe that powerful and rich people actually say who gets to be President, so I'm hoping that Obama's expressed idealism represents what he really thinks.

The suggestion that he is remotely connected to an illuminati family-tree is feeble, and I'm not going to respect the testimony of the guy who talks about what happened in a limo.

But I am troubled by the idea that Obama selected 2 people for his committee to decide about the VP from a very questionable group of old-guard politicians.

I only want to hear from people who aren't firmly camped in the two parties campsites.

Is Obama the real deal?
