The Obama Associations. I'm Pinching, I'm Pinching

Remember, in your formative years, when your parents told you: "You're known by the company you keep"? Well, speaking of that, Obama has kept company with many characters that a politician running just for mayor of a small city would have a hard time disavowing let alone running for president of the United States. But Mr. Obama is a special politician (Chicago politics, the roughest in the nation) with the major media wanting desperately to have him be elected. This media, who by any measure are completely in the tank for Obama, has chosen to bury, not just ignore, but bury his seamy past associations.
But the truth can find the light. I have found that sometimes you can get a better view of our politics here from somebody that inhabits the other side of the Atlantic. This article, from the Spectator in the UK [See It Here], points out and analyses probably the most troubling of many seamy associations of Mr. Obama. One of the associations that the mainstream media here refuse to hardly acknowledge let alone investigate is that of Mr. William Ayers and his wife Bernadette Dorn. Two notorious, unrepentant domestic terrorists (and founders of the violent Weathermen Underground group) [Link] that Mr. Obama has been rubbing elbows with since his start in Chicago politics right through to his senate career. They seem to be friends who shared may things but Obama keeps dismissing Mr. Ayers as "a guy down the street". He was more than that. Much more.
These sketchy associations like Ayers, Tony Rezco and all the rest point to a real blind spot in Obama's judgment [Link] [Link]. The kind of judgment that a man running the United States needs to have and Mr. Obama doesn't. Lets not forget for a second about how these people may have shaped what Obama believes now or will help to shape an Obama administration's policy.
As the writer for the Spectator article put it: "You have to pinch yourself – a Marxisant radical who all his life has been mentored by, sat at the feet of, worshipped with, befriended, endorsed the philosophy of, funded and been in turn funded, politically promoted and supported by a nexus comprising black power anti-white racists, Jew-haters, revolutionary Marxists, unrepentant former terrorists and Chicago mobsters, is on the verge of becoming President of the United States."
I Keep pinching but I'm still stuck in the same dream. |
