Your point is well taken. However, it is also true that one may be judged by the company s/he keeps, true? In Obama's case, there seems to be a pattern emerging that the company he keeps tends towards racism and violent anti-Americanism. We all know about his relationship with Wright.
Most of us also know of his relationship with William Ayers, an admitted anti-American
terrorist. Various reports I've read and heard claim the relationship runs the gamut, some claiming them to be "friends" while others say Obama only met the man once. However, Ayers is a well known liberal activist in Chicago politics, with an admitted and unrepentant history of committing bombing attacks on federal government property. Perhaps my viewpoint is narrow, but whether your viewpoint is liberal or conservative, anyone with an admitted history of attacks on the federal government is to be shunned, not courted and curried for political favors.
Even Obama’s closest friend, his wife, has made comments that raised eyebrows. We all know about them, and I don’t feel the need to go into depth on them. In every case, she felt the need to “clarify” her viewpoint. For myself at least, her viewpoint is VERY clear.
The point is that the man surrounds himself with others whose views are racist, socialist, and violently anti-American. Best case is that his judgement of others is extremely poor. Worst case is that he himself subscribes to these views. In either case, he is a very poor choice for president.
