( Barack Obama ) Guilt by association or a verdict on judgment ?
Hot Air ^ | April 18, 2008 | Ed Morrissey

Posted on 04/19/2008 2:56:26 PM PDT by george76

Barack Obama has spent the last year explaining why his lack of experience is an asset for his candidacy for the White House. Experience doesn’t make up for judgment, he has told rapturous audiences.

Now, however, his campaign has suddenly balked at looking at Obama’s connections outside the Beltway.

Calling that “guilt by association”, they have pushed back against criticism of Obama’s political and personal connections to people like Jeremiah Wright, William Ayer, and Rashid Khalidi.

The connection to William Ayers was no accident of geography.

for a man who asks us to trust his judgment without having established any kind of track record, it’s almost laughable that he finds our questions about his judgment in selecting his political associates out of bounds.

don’t leave out Farrakhan. And Obama’s wife. And Obama himself. If Obama can just distance himself from his own comments, he will be OK.

Unfortunately for little Lord Fauntleroy, lack of experience does not exonerate lack of judgment.

Obama is a racist, socialist, gun-grabbing friend of terrorists. Aside from that, he’d make a fine President.

Without experience, what is the criteria for demonstrating acquired judgment? Nobody is born with good judgment, and no academic program ANYWHERE is capable of instilling this very elusive trait. Good judgment comes from exercising bad judgment, and experiencing the consequences.

Circumstances have pushed Barack Mohammed (since we are no longer to refer to his given middle name) Obama, Jr., the charismatic, messianic Magic Negro, into a position that is still several steps above his present pay grade, and the bridge is not yet in place, for him to get from there to wherever.

It is tough to be out on a high wire without a net.

Geraldine Ferrarro nailed Barry. He just been hanging around all these years not doing much just hoping to get lucky by the color of skin and the exoticism of his upbringing. That is what makes Barry so dangerous, there is so little there, there.

“That is what makes Barry so dangerous, there is so little there, there.”

The same thing was said about Bill Clinton, but it didn’t keep him from occupying the WH for 8 years.

I hope that isn’t an omen.

Mr Wright is a fraud. He is building his multi million dollar mansion in a white neighborhood and will be golfing with rich white people? The ones he calms are the problem. His congregation is a bunch of suckers.

Clinton got it because of Perot (and SHAMED fools like me!).

I learned my lesson—at the expense of our Nation. I just hope that others learned, too!

But Clinton had a "there". Clinton's sociopathy was grounded in carnality and criminality. Barry's has NO indulgences other than his own ambition and that makes him twice as dangerous as the son of a party girl from Hot Springs, Arkansas.

You weren’t the only one...my F-I-L, M-I-L, and uncle by marriage, all voted for Perot with my husband and I begging them not to help Clinton win. My F-I-L and M-I-L never even bothered to vote anymore...the uncle learned his lesson. None of them could stand the Clinton’s.

...But why should he remember me if he has convinced the world to forget, or is it forgive -- that he set out to launch a bombing campaign to blow up America?

But why should he remember me if he is now a 'distinguished professor' and friend of the potential next President of the United States of America...she might have written.

Presidential rival, Senator Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) suggested that Obama’s betrayal by someone he trusted “show’s he is a poor judge of character.” “You know, I’ve learned the hard way, that even those closest to you can’t really be trusted,” Clinton observed. “I think this episode proves that Senator Obama is too naïve and callow to bear the responsibilities of the presidency.”

Yes, but Hillareeeeee ... ain’t never been called ... a GOLFER!!!

(sorry couldn’t resist)

- if folks can’t tell what’s wrong with Jeremiah Wright making all his claims and then moving to a 10,345 square foot, $1.6 million mansion in a gated community, in the middle of “white America” as he calls it ...

Well, then, they’re just stupid beyond all reason ....

Great job on finding this story from 2 years ago on FrontPageMag.com - an unbelievable article.

Thanks for the heads up on Ayers. I posted this as an article. I still can’t believe it wasn’t posted before?

Obama is quickly becoming a joke:

Obimster, Obamster Why elect a Ham-ster?

And then the other one?

I heard that Obama's female disciples no longer can have orgasms. They can only reach the vaunted level of release by fantasising about their idol.

They then experience what has been called an "Obasm." They shake, quiver all over, suspend all rational thought, become left handed, and swear allegience to the world of Mandingo, of the black saviour who will never die for anyones sin, let alone those he has of his own. In short , they become perfect Democrat voters.

Obasm! The key to the presidential election in Nov. 2008.

Rumors about about a new sex toy called the Obasmer....but thankfully we will not go there tonite.
