==Colloquial Usage==
In modern day usage, to describe a political candidate as a "Manchurian Candidate" is to say that they are hiding their real beliefs in hope of being elected, and afterwords able to advance their hidden agenda. Barack Obama is frequently accused of being a Muslim Manchurian Candidate, by sources such as [http://www.wnd.com/index.php?pageId=79411 WorldNetDaily] and others.
