Does anyone see a problem with Obama's choice for the people who he surrounds himself with?

Question

Joe Biden, Jeremiah Wright, Louis Farakhan, Bill Ayers, The nation Of Islam, and the new Black Panthers, makes me stop and think and some of you better?

Answer 1

Yes.  Obama is sorely lacking in judgment, and his explanations about why these people are (or were) in his life are shallow and without merit.  He has no morals, no character, no loyalty to anyone but himself, and is completely unqualified to be president.

Answer 2

It depends on whether you are talking about the criminals or the racists.

Answer 3

I don't think you are being fair to Joe Biden. He does not hold the same anti american views as the others on your list.

Yes I see a big problem with obama's association with these extremist.  

Answer 4

I got to say surround is a stupid choice of words, he's never been "surrounded" by Farakhan hew actually rebuked him, as well as the panthers and NI, you're just making c**p up with those Sean Hannity proven flase allegations

As far as wright well think about it Rev Wright was up there spewing venom, so let's do some math shall we, let's say the average service is 90 minutes long and let's also suppose that Wright took some vacation time so let's say he gave 48 sermons a year for 20 years, with me so far? That's over 86,000 minutes of preaching of which even the most wacked out far right media sites can only show about 45 minutes of wright stepping out of bounds, still with me? That means that in the 20 years Obama attended, and assuming he was actually there every single time wright put his foot in his mouth (which is highly improbable given Obama's other duties) that means less than .0000523% of the time wright showed anything that SOME might (and I emphasize might since alot of us get where he was coming from) find racist, I'm sorry but this whole made up reverend wright controversay is just phucking idiotic

And Bill Ayers is an associate from Obama's attempt to improve education

Seems to me you're 0 for 5

Answer 5

To be politically correct, it is Obama's friends and mentors that have a scandalous past. (including William Ayers known boming terrorist who was a founding member of "The Weather Underground".

The nation of Islams leader Louis Farrakhan, a notable figure on the extremist scene making hateful statements targeting jews)

"Chicago mob Mayor" Harold Washington who championed the "Minority Contract Set-aside Program" strictly for the purpose of putting African Americans in high profile cabinet posts.

Godfather Syrian born Tony Rezko, a developer convicted of $7 Mill scheme of money laundering & bribery of Iraqi ministry official, kickbacks, and ties to mob. He helped buy Obama's home in Chicago. Why? - hmmmm. He also Formed Son of Islam. What favors did he want? Obama knew him for 18 years.

Rezko pulled Obama in a law firm (where Rezko was a client) representing phony non-profits, (funneling taxpayer money for the mafia Chicago machine). Don't kid, this Syrian guy was feeding Obama payola under the table and got caught.

Emil Jones "political Godfather" and mentor to Obama who

retired due to a high profile scandal.

Rev. Wright's anti-american, pro Farrakhan statements hit too close to the radical Islamic beliefs.

Also supports black liberation theology - WTF!

Obama, for example, for the first time has acknowledged that the mysterious "Frank" in his 1995 autobiography, "Dreams From My Father," is in fact Communist Party USA member Frank Marshall Davis, who during the height of the Cold War was investigated by both the FBI and Congress as a pawn of Moscow.

(Don't forget Larry Sinclair and Donald Young!)

Obama doesn't like "Feds. poking around" as he stated, so he voted NO on the critical Patriot Act - Why? he's tied to the mob machine and extremists and they like their privacy.

Answer 6

Except Joe Biden, your list is a lie, of course. Old boring republican twisted lie.

Answer 7

sure do,so much for change!!

Answer 8

there's a flip side to every coin certainly this coin,

as for crazy homicidal preachers, you guys got the white crazy homicidal preachers such as jerry falweel and plenty others i'm sure.

As for ideological terrorists you guys have the crazies who shoot up planned parenthood and so forth.

As for the nation of islam, you guys have the KKK and storm thurman on your side.

So it all evens out. these are the extremists on each side. As it stands I prefer the black panthers to the kkk, at least the black panthers can show thier face in public. I also prefer an eco terrorist to a religious zealot. And finally i prefer jeremiah wright to falwell or robertson.

I don't have to stop and think, I always knew what was happening.

Answer 9

If Obama been friends with these people all these years, do you

seem any harm that ever happened over the years to our Country,

or YOU??

Answer 10

No, but you're not an Obama supporter anyway.  I am much more concerned about the 50+ lobbyists who are running McCain's campaign, especially and specifically Wendy & Phil Gramm, who have done more to ruin our country, our economy and the middle class than any couple in recent history.  Phil is McCain's top economic adviser.

You're on the wrong boat, "my friend."
