'Obama friends: Judge not?'

  • 11 Comments
  • by: Another skeptic

Why thinking Americans distrust Obama.

Read it here or in tomorrow’s Rocky:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/…

Convicted felon Tony Rezko. Unrepentant terrorist Bill Ayers. And the race-baiting Rev. Jeremiah Wright. It is hard to think of any presidential candidate before Barack Obama sporting associations with three more execrable characters. Yet let the McCain campaign raise the issue, and the mainstream media begin fulminating about dirty campaigning tinged with racism and McCarthyite guilt by association.

But associations are important. They provide a significant insight into character. They are particularly relevant in relation to a potential president as new, unknown, opaque and self-contained as Obama. With the economy overshadowing everything, it may be too late politically to be raising this issue. But that does not make it, as conventional wisdom holds, in any way illegitimate.

I”m sure this post will be promoted. 🙂

  1. We all have people we interact with who are not the most upright citizens. And we all have associates that we later discover, are different people from what we thought they were. Every single one of us from me, to A.S., to John McCain.

    And the biggest example of a relationship that makes you wonder is Sarah Palin’s husband – who belonged to a political party who’s primary goal was treason – to succeed from the U.S.

  2. is a more accurate lead. I’d suggest you download Obama’s books, where he discusses his family in Dreams From My Father, and my personal favorite, where Barack discusses his college years, and his early days as a community organizer, and later as a elected officialin The Audacity of Hope. Indeed, I challenge you to listen to Barack in his own voice, and come back with some greater understanding about who it is you so ignorantly dismiss. Up to the challenge?
