I read your Wisner Empire's Bag Man piece and would suggest that like any good hedge fund manager Obama's administration has a portfolio of assets
obviously Wisner and the military etc...
but, more importantly is the Statecraft for the 21st Century... the Dept of State - Facebook-Twitter-Google complex
its globalization of MyBarakObama.com to MyEmpire.com
i.e. its promotion of global polyarchy via soft power diplomacy (with backup of drones and marines)
you might also want to add another rogue to your bag men... this time, he works for http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=New_America_Foundation http://www.paragkhanna.com/?p=264 http://www.paragkhanna.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/HTRTW-graphic-FPD-2011.png http://books.google.com/books?id=jVsBYQe7GnYC http://books.google.com/books?id=JgsQ77tOsbIC

I think we are seeing Obama outflanking the ultra-right on security issues, and more successfully implemented the neoconservative Greater New Middle East Initiative
and they are using social network media - Google-Facebook-Twitter - to outflank Fox News and the nationalist right wing news media
anyway.. thats my theory...
