To be exquisitely careful about my formulation...

Barack Obama cannot be blamed for anything that happened to him when he was a child, which is not meant to imply that anything happened to him when he was a child.

Hey, skinny, tall, good looking, young black boy who wore flip flops and short short OP shorts, with no mother, abandoned father, being ‘introduced’ by his pot smoking grandfather to a another old commie perve that ‘counseled’ him, and in the youths own words was critically import to him?

What? What? Who would think somethings going on?

Anyways, Wright, Ayers, Frank Dunham? Seems like Barry is attracted to abusive, powerful older men.

agreed.

which is not meant to imply that anything happened to him when he was a child.

True and we may never know, but there are some things that kinda make you wonder. 1) Obama stated that Davis made a profound impression on him, 2)Obama used drugs in high school to help him forget things in his past, and 3) Obama took an AIDS test. Granted, there could be other reasons behind these statements and events, but.....just thinking here.

Ditto.

I agree with the point you make there. For me the issue is his view of the world as learned from his mentor. His proposals and voting history are more in line with a communist view then with an American democracy view.
