What is Digg?7 Comments

He is a very handsome and well spoken man, but most, if not all, of his accomplishments are backed by a house of cards that easily falls once thoroughly inspected.

You choose allies deliberately for a reason. The kind of allies you choose says something about you. Jeremiah Wright, Father Michael Pfleger, William Ayers and Antoin Rezko are not just people who happened to be at the same place at the same time as Barack Obama. They are people with whom he chose to ally himself for years, and with some of whom some serious money changed hands.
Barack Obama's being the first serious black candidate for President of the United States is what most people consider remarkable but how he got there is at least equally surprising.
The story of Obama's political career is not a pretty story. He won his first political victory by being the only candidate on the ballot-- after hiring someone skilled at disqualifying the signers of opposing candidates' petitions, on whatever technicality he could come up with.
Despite his words today about "change" and "cleaning up the mess in Washington," Obama was not on the side of reformers who were trying to change the status quo of corrupt, machine politics in Chicago and clean up the mess there. Obama came out in favor of the Daley machine and against reform candidates.
Senator Obama is running on an image that is directly the opposite of what he has been doing for two decades. His escapes from his past have been as remarkable as the great escapes of Houdini.
Why much of the public and the media have been so mesmerized by the words and the image of Obama, and so little interested in learning about the factual reality, was perhaps best explained by an official of the Democratic Party: "People don't come to Obama for what he's done, they come because of what they hope he can be."
David Freddoso's book should be read by those people who want to know what the facts are. But neither this book nor anything else is likely to change the minds of Obama's true believers, who have made up their minds and don't want to be confused by the facts - dandan111, on 10/08/2008, -0/+6Associations are very different from alliances. Allies are not just people who happen to be where you are or who happen to be doing the same things you do. You choose allies deliberately for a reason. The kind of allies you choose says something about you.
Jeremiah Wright, Father Michael Pfleger, William Ayers and Antoin Rezko are not just people who happened to be at the same place at the same time as Barack Obama. They are people with whom he chose to ally himself for years, and with some of whom some serious money changed hands. - skmckinny, on 10/09/2008, -0/+3

I cannot imagine the type of person that would do that without standing up and screaming out a complete denunciation of them.
- JohnDagnyGalt, on 10/12/2008, -1/+2I will vote Obama
I will vote for a man I know nothing about
I will vote because it is time for a black man in the White House
I will vote for a man I really haven't researched, and I really don't want to know anything bad about
Because I will feel noble and good that I voted for a black man
or a man who definitely is NOT George Bush
I will vote for a man whose mother left America on purpose and stated the Americans around her in Indonesia were "not her people"
I will vote for a man whose father and stepfather were not Americans or Christians even though I felt uncomfortable about that Romney fellow and his Mormonism
I will vote for a man whose father figure mentor in Hawaii was a communist and hated America and "white oppression"
I will vote for a community organizer, even though I don't know what that is
Saul Alinksy is the creator of the community organizer concept
I will not Google Saul Alinsky
I will not Google ACORN
I will vote for a man who ran unopposed for his Illinois State Senate Seat
I will not Google how that happened to occur
I will vote for a man who allies himself with an unrepentant radical terrorist
But he is an "education reformer" now!
I will not Google Bill Ayers enough to find out what he wants to reform public education into
although my children go to public schools
I will vote for a man who listened to Reverend Jeremiah Wright for 20 years
I certainly will NOT Google Black Liberation theology, white oppression, and marxism in the same search!
I will feel good about myself after I vote Obama
who is not George Bush
I will feel good that America voted for Obama
I will await the praise from the world's opinion of us on our wise choice...
I will be surprised when they still hate us
I will be surprised when I start to hate who I voted for
I will vote "anybody but Obama" in 2012
