Euripides' dictum has prompted many to look at the company Senator Barack Hussein Obama is wont to keep:
Frank Marshall Davis
K-State dropout, poet, labor organizer, Communist Party member, journalist for a newspaper published by a Communist front labor union, 'Frank' is described by Senator Obama in his autobiography as a mentoring figure for whom he had great affection: "It made me smile, thinking back on Frank and his old Black Power, dashiki self. In some ways he was as incurable as my mother, as certain in his faith, living in the same sixties time warp that Hawaii had created."

William Ayers and Bernadine Dorhn

Antonin "Tony" Rezko. . .
Dorothy Tillman. . .
Alexi Giannoulias. . .
Jeremiah Wright. . .
Khalid Al Mansour. . .
Mazen Asbahi. . .

Nice...
Sorry...
Ouch! That’s so bad, it’s good. LOL!
