(^107) ‘In 2004, a national environmentalist entity created and managed by the Rockefeller family endorsed
Barack Obama, then an Illinois state senator with little national reputation, in his race against other Democrats
in his Democratic primary race for United States senator. The League for Conservation Voters announced
they would “launch a new TV spot, titled ‘Rising Star,’” which would run regularly “through Election Day in
the Chicago media market. The League’s press release boasted that the promotion was expensive: “the ad buy
is a significant, six-figure purchase.” In the 2003-2004 campaign season (according to the Center for Public
Integrity), the League also paid $297,867 to the political consulting firm of David Axelrod, which was
managing Obama’s campaign. Axelrod and his firm AKP Message and Media shaped Obama’s political
image and today manage the Obama Presidential campaign top-down. The League of Conservation Voters
was founded by Laurance S. Rockefeller and his close associates. Among the current directors of the League
are Larry Rockefeller, son of Laurance (who died the year of the Obama Senate campaign); Wade Greene,
counselor to the Rockefeller family; Donald K. Ross, strategist for the Rockefeller family’s environ mental
and foundation activities; and Theodore Roosevelt, IV, partner of Felix Rohatyn at Lehman Brothers.
Roosevelt is the League’s honorary chairman and a longtime leader of the group. The League of Conservation
Voters works in tandem with the Partnership for New York City, in setting the agenda for New York City
Mayor Michael Bloomberg. The Partnership was founded by Laurance’s brother David Rockefeller. League
of Conservation Voters’ national board member Marcia Bystryn, who is executive director of the New York
State branch of the League, is also president of “Plan NYC-2030, Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s planning
initiative. (http://www.larouchepac.com/news/2008/04/23/rockefellers-mid-wifed-birth-obamamania.html)
