In the 1990s, it was often noted that a great many of Bill Clinton's friends were either dead or in jail. Similarly, Barack Obama seems to curry favor with some very questionable characters ...
Granted, in some cases Obama disavows them (he sort of did this with Rev. Wright's comments). In other cases, he has not sought their endorsement (such as anti-semite Louis Farrakhan) -- but ultimately, people have to wonder what it is about Obama that attracts the support of Hamas, Communists, and domestic terrorists to him ....
This subject came up in last night's debate when a question was asked about Bill Ayers. Obama served on a board for an anti-poverty group with Bill Ayers of the Weather Underground. Just as O.J. Simpson's book, "If I Did It" was a shameless way to write about his murder, Ayers published a memoir called "Fugitive Days," which he bills as "fiction."
As the NYT reports:
He writes that he participated in the bombings of New York City Police Headquarters in 1970, of the Capitol building in 1971, the Pentagon in 1972. And here's how the NYT describes the group:
Mr. Ayers, who in 1970 was said to have summed up the Weatherman philosophy as: ''Kill all the rich people. Break up their cars and apartments. Bring the revolution home, kill your parents, that's where it's really at,'' is today distinguished professor of education at the University of Illinois at Chicago. '
But of course, he's a changed man, right? Wrong: In 2001, he told the New York Times, "I don't regret the bombings." Last night, Obama responded to questions about this by saying,
This is a guy who lives in my neighborhood, who’s a professor of English in Chicago who I know and who I have not received some official endorsement from. He’s not somebody who I exchange ideas from on a regular basis.
... But, of course, they don't really know each other that, well, right? Well, last February Obama's Chief Strategist David Axelrod told Politico's Ben Smith this:
“Bill Ayers lives in his neighborhood. Their kids attend the same school … They’re certainly friendly, they know each other, as anyone whose kids go to school together.” (Ben Smith, “Ax On Ayers,” The Politico’s “Ben Smith” Blog, www.politico.com, 2/26/08)
Well, if domestic terrorists aren't enough reason for you to raise a red flag about Obama, former Sandanista Rebel Leader Daniel Ortega praised Obama's campaign as "revolutionary."
Also, during an interview, a top Hamas political adviser essentially endorsed Obama, saying: “
We don’t mind–actually we like Mr. Obama. We hope he will (win) the election and I do believe he is like John Kennedy, great man with great principle, and he has a vision to change America to make it in a position to lead the world community but not with domination and arrogance…”
... So why do all these people like Obama? Is it that they think he's amenable to their agenda? Or do they just see him as "green" and inexperienced and malleable?
The question is: Do Americans want someone who -- at best -- is obviously viewed as so naive and easily influenced running the show, really?
Seems to me if you’ve ever set a bomb, you are more likely to lean towards Obama
Whe they say “Barack Obama’s the Bomb!” they really mean it?!
"Things that are bad for America for a thousand."
They recognize a fellow traveler.
It's that simple.
Birds of a feather flock together.
Generally, the more you hate America, the more likely you are to love Obama.
Could it be his HATRED for AMERICA(not to mention”the company he keeps”)???????????????
they are fellow traveler’s.
birds of a feather.
water seeks its own level.
Could it be that Obama promises to:
- Retreat from Iraq and hand the Jihadis a victory they could never get on the battlefield;
- Defer to the UN on all future conflicts; Raise taxes on ‘the rich’ as well as anybody making $98,000 in a household (waking up NYC Firefighters & NYPD!!!);
- Seize the profits of oil companies;
- End the development of a host of weapons programs desired by the AF/Navy/Army/Marines;
- Negotiate directly without preconditions with every dictator and terrorist leader in any country opposing the US.
I’m sure there are more but this list out to get the Hamas/Hezbollah/Communists/Socialists/Terrorists/Europeans wet between the legs.
To hell w what Ayers sees in Obama, any serious presidential candidate should run for their life rather than make friends with a terrorist bomber. By my definition, Obama can’t be a serious aspirant to the presidency. Talk about lack of serious grounding! Or even worse, Obama is seriously grounded in radical leftism.

“What is it about Obama that Attracts Hamas, Communists, and Domestic Terrorists?”
OPINION:
It is a very good question.
The answers are not hard to find, though; as his global supporters are quite verbose.
What attracts them is his total lack of a center. If you listen to two consecutive sentences out of his mouth, you’ll hear nothing but equivocation and manipulation and the use of hypnosis techniques. NLP* at work, favored by motivational speakers, new age preachers, and supersalesmen. Content-free discourse.
Barak should quit politics and go to work for an ad agency. He’d have us all eating high-priced gourmet chickenbleep by next Wednesday.
*Neuro Linguistic Programming. Read about it at wikipedia or buy a book at amazon. You too can talk pretty and influence millions.
Isn’t Tony Robbins one of the masters of NLP?
Good article.

Robbins? No doubt.
I introduced Jack Canfield to producers of the Oprah show back when no one knew who he was. It was just amazing to watch him work them over in the nicest possible way, never taking no for an answer, making them like his objections. Jack’s actually quite a good person but many of these guys are hollow ****s.
I think Barak Hussein has a great future as a motivational speaker. His lack of stamina wouldn’t matter if he only worked two days a week. Plus his entranced audience wouldn’t care what he said or what he stood for as long as he made them feel good.
Concur!
I think Matt has the question backwards.
I sort of shied away from the parents of kids in my kids' classes who struck me as Communists.
