Suddenly, the presidential campaigns are addressing an issue that should have been at the forefront of this year's election long ago. Call it "characters count." We know people - especially public figures - by the company they keep. And we need to know much more about, to put it charitably, the characters that have figured prominently for years in Barack Obama's life.
Over the weekend, Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin brought the issue to the fore by observing caustically that the Democrats' would-be commander in chief has "palled around with terrorists."
The Obama campaign immediately deployed talking points and a television ad conjuring up Charles Keating, a one-time friend and supporter of John McCain who was a driving force behind the 1980s-era savings and loan debacle.
The problem for Barack Obama is that convicted - and unrepentant - terrorist William Ayers is not the only person with a profound animosity toward this country with whom he has "palled around" since his youth. It is not, as the Democratic candidate maintains, a distraction or a sign of desperation on the part of his opponents that serious questions are finally being asked about the nature and the implications of the judgment he has exhibited in the past - and may exhibit in the future - as evidenced by his myriad and profoundly troubling personal ties. That is especially the case since so little is known about the junior senator from Illinois and what he really means by "change."

They all support, endorse, and/or friends and mentors and advisors of BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA.
They all hate America, they all want to destroy America as we know it. They all want the United States to retreat in the war on terror, and they all want to make over the United States into a marxist/socialist/collective nation
Obama’s own core ideology/theology, coincide with these people.
This says all you need to know about Obama.. You can and should judge a man by the company he keeps.
Maybe this explains Obama hands were over his crotch instead of saluting the flag/anthem and refusing to wear the flag pin- claiming to do so was ‘false patriotism’
I stand corrected....I thought it was from the Wash. comPOST!
He also apparently does not know that a current obama supporter was the other person that added up to five.

Thanks for the link. Bookmarked.
Worse than that - you legitimize and make relevant the Ayers connection.
What about the Chicago Machine? The machine grew out of an alliance between Al Capone and the dim party. They have been one and the same since prohibition. Definition of an honest Chicago judge, “One who’s fixed and stays fixed.” How bout Sam Giancana and the theft of the 1960 election, well documented. I remember being pulled over by a cop in Chicago with my sister. She handed him her license and 10 bucks, and we were wished a nice day. Or when you go to court and request a file, based on the type of firm you represent, you pay $2 to $20. This is the way of life in the one of the most courrupt cities in the country.
No one remembers Keating. I was at the Phoenician recently, where Keating dumped several hundred million taxpayer dollars. Recently renovated, it was lovely and probably worth over a billion dollars now! Keating was just a forward thinker.
Obama, Your Agent For Change! Oops.....that was his cousin Odinga’s slogan when he ran to control of Kenya and lost - which caused Odinga to call for “protest” which was experienced by unfortunate women and children when they were burned alive in a church by Odinga’s mobs.
BTTT
Should have been addressed long ago? Naw... this is called PERFECT TIMING!
Pit Bulls are known to go for the jugular.
