From one of Steve Sailer's recent blog posts:

    Another theory that I'm increasingly drawn to is that Obama got a 
little help along the way from CIA/NSA types, but that's completely off 
everybody else's radar because it doesn't fit ideological categories. His 
father was a protege of the CIA's main man in Kenya, Tom Mboya, and was 
chief witness of his assassination. His mother worked in the U.S. embassy 
in Indonesia, a main front in the Cold War, soon after the 1965 coup, and 
then went on to a long career with U.S. government-affiliated 
organizations in the Third World. Barack Jr.'s one private industry job 
was as a copy editor at a firm, Business International, whose owner had 
previously admitted the firm served as a front for four CIA agents.

    But that likely wouldn't be that big of a deal: say that his parents 
and stepfather got some people they knew at Langley or NSA or the Ford 
Foundation or some oil companies to pull some strings to get young Barry 
transferred from Oxy to Columbia to study international relations. And 
then, somebody directed him to a job at a CIA-connected firm for a year 
after college There might be an interesting story here, but perhaps the 
more interesting one is how he rebelled against this path laid out for him 
in international affairs and came up with the idea of becoming mayor of 
Chicago, a very insular, anti-international ambition, a rebellion against 
his parents' internationalism.

From the end of that Sailer blog post:

    But, mostly, Obama's big dark secret is that he just didn't do much in 
his life other than self-promote himself as the guy who should be the 
first black President. The embarrassing secret is that Obama is President 
for the same dumb reason as the last guy was President: because of who his 
daddy was.
