I can prove that its both:

First, this all started 9 decades ago before Barry ever even met William Ayers or Franklin Davis, and before he was a gleam in anybody’s eye.
Second, All the dems in Congress knew they had lit a long fuse with the “CCommunnniittyy Re-Investive Re-Development Re-Moval and Re-Distributive Acts 1(cough- caterer administration- cough) and Act 2 (cough- clinton administration- cough).
3) But that fuse would soon enough be running short, and
4) Franklin Raines, pictured here, and Jaime Gorelick wrote checks for bonuses double their salaries, and took what was left in the cash register, and slipped out in cover of night before the roof started caving in.
All of this has been known to members of Congress for years, and with their *new* majority in congress (2 yrs ago) started covering it up big time with all the usual muscle hijackers Maxine, Franks and further, with Gregory Meeeeks, Cassius Clay, in house commerce ccommiittee-eeeee! (Dizzy yet?) “hearings” where they proceeded to brass knuckle every government banking regulator they could chloroform into the chambers, to give “transparency” (?!) to it. Hell, even Chris Dodd, who is in the senate, not the house for pete’s sake, jumped into the fray
5) the folks in Chicago were keeping close tabs, cause they <live for this stuff, especially Obama, who was an up and coming bagman for the whole Chicago operation.
6) they hatched the biggest and most expensive advertising campaign in history, to run interference for their co-pays back in Washington, and
7) Rounded every behind the scenes accessory they could find to take cabinet seats for further cover, like Herr Geithner, und Damen Gorelick.
started finishing off any every other form of opposition through “the millstones of high taxes and inflation”, in their efforts to cash out, or in on their initial $850,000 million dollar advertizing campaign investment because…
9) Because George Soros had nothing, I say nothing to do with it!, and he would be made the scapegoat by those knuckle dragging conspiracy peddlers
10) if you’re still reading this and seething with rage, not because of all this, but because of what Andrew Sullivan said, and you think he is dead-on right, then (it goes to:
11) You’re even stupider than these clowns who’ve been running the country, not to mention its economy, into the ground water since well before this administration took office.
12) If you don’t think these clowns aren’t engineering the(ir) (own) greatest political fall and scandal in history, not to mention felonies up to Mt Rushmore: you are the pluperfect fool the Obama ad campaign was counting on, and was targeted to.

So don’t be surprised, my little chickadees, if George Soros, the man who became a Nazi informant at the age of 9, and told said Nazi’s where they could find (other) Jews, because he knew all about it, is one day found guilty of treason and left hanging by his neck, for the buzzards to feast on, like Mussolini, one of his many mentors, just like some (un)common criminal. Because… and this is the most NON-PARTISANLY OBJECTIVE WAY TO SAY IT-

this is the worst president, worst damned ministration, worst cabinet, worst congress, (assubhamas just loves to say) SINCE THE GREAT DEPRESSION.

No, that is far to narrow, and lacks the Obamaesque hyperbloe- This is the worst economy, since the Middle Ages!!

And we all know how long that lasted…

P.S. Do I advocate the assassination of anyone? Yes- Patricia Helvenston- on the grounds of poorly-est written worst reverse-moral equivalence arguing, by vitue of an old Roman law recently re-discovered, and not overturned
