People need to read the following and compare the two candidates. Obama’s people and Obama say that character should not be an issue. Really? Read the following and decide. http://archive.patriotpost.us/pub/08-41_Digest/index.php#continued
Obama’s associations, especially his past membership in the socialist New Party (he also signed a contract with them) as well as the endorsements and praise he received from the Democratic Socialists of America tells us how he would approach this economic situation.
“When Obama participated in a 1996 UofC YDS [Young Democratic Socialists] Townhall Meeting on Economic Insecurity, much of what he had to say was well within the mainstream of European social democracy.” http://www.chicagodsa.org/ngarchive/ng69.html#anchor540108
This is key. The markets are tied to Bush and, by implication, the Republicans. As long as this holds McCain will have a difficult time gaining traction on any other issue. Hasn't helped that McCain's approach to the financial collapse has been tepidly unimaginative.
He doesn't share Rev. Wright's poisonous views of race nor Ayers' views, past and present, about the evil that is American society.
He doesn't? How do you reach that conclusion? He has hung out with racists and terrorists almost his entire life. He seems to have no other friends at all. Where is even ONE friend or associate who is not an extremist, a terrorist, or a kook? His wife thinks that America is racist and evil, and she will only be proud of it when he is president and has finished straightening it out.
Even his autobiography is racist, although it is filtered through PC Speak.
His grandfather was a communist. His mother was a communist. All of his friends were communists, racists, or terrorists.
His grandmother may be the one decent person who was ever close to him, but he appears to have locked her up somewhere in a straitjacket for the past year, where no one can see or talk to her until after the election is safely over.
Old school buddies? College friends? Business buddies? Apparently he has NONE--except for his terrorist friends.
Cousin Odinga?
There is no question about Obama’s character. Simply put, he has NONE!
Obama doesn't have a “first rate” (or even a third rate) intellect. His temperament is even less praiseworthy. He is, in fact, bovine in both temperament and intelligence.
Where does the idea that Obama is ideologically distinct from Ayers, Wright et al. come from? Why should anyone assume that Obama used them rather than the other way around? There is very little doubt that Obama is a hard left revolutionary. It's possible that he's an opportunist who just went along with the leftist stream in Hyde Park. But the betting odds are that he was quite comfortable being part of that stream and he's being opportunistic now, painting himself as mainstream as he tries to win a national election.
Dr. K should pause to consider that we may be watching a socialist revolution unfold before our very eyes.
