America did not elect a new president on November 4th, 2008. America enabled a cult leader to take over the White House. A man with no executive experience, deeply disturbing associations and gaping holes in his history was elevated to the highest office in the land; not based on merit, but impelled by the force of a mass movement.

The machinery for an Obama type of takeover was fired up long before Obama showed up. In fact, Obama himself is the least important detail of the plan. Much has been made of Obama’s soaring oratory and personal charisma. While charisma is a fundamental requirement of a cult leader, Obama does not own a monopoly on personal magnetism, and upon reflection, we will see that he brought very little to the table.

In Obamanutz: A Cult Leader Takes the White House, we explore all of the variables that allowed a candidate as deeply flawed as Barack Obama to capture the presidency. Until now, the focus has been on Barack Obama and his story. This approach overlooks the complex convergence of several political, economic and social issues that made Obama’s election possible, if not inevitable.
