Obama and his "friends" a problem?
http://blog.washingtonpost.com/the-trail/2008/04/17/a_debate_about_the_future.html?nav=rss_email/components

"On Tuesday it was Obama's turn. How does he explain his long association with the Rev. Jeremiah Wright and did he deliberately look away when he heard things that were truly offensive? What did he really mean by his comments at that fundraiser in San Francisco, where he was no doubt enveloped in a cocoon of liberal supporters? What was his relationship with William Ayers, once a member of the radical Weather Underground?

There was so much to deal with that the name Tony Rezko, Obama's longtime friend and fundraiser -- who is now on trial on corruption charges -- was not even mentioned."

Guess the moderator gave Obama a pass on that one since there is a trial about it in Chicago.

Guess Rezko helped Obama get a deal on property but hey this is done everyday right?

1. Norman Hsu, Johnny Chung ring any bells?
Are you SURE this is an avenue any Clinton supporter should go down?

Don't HELP them!! If we're really quiet maybe we can just sit back and watch them shoot themselves in the foot. They have no since of hypocrisy or irony. Fools. Absolute Fools.

5. I wonder if McCain has any connections to 60s radicals
Maybe David Horowitz, former attorney for the Black Panthers and presently just a dumb fucking Neocon?

6. Note:

Maya Angelou participated in the Million Man March, wrote a poem, doesn't condemn Farrakhan, will
Hillary denounce and reject her?

This is America: Ayers was never tried and convicted of a crime. Bill pardoned two convicted felons who were members of the Weather Underground, and they were unrepentant.

It's a good thing Jeremy Wright stood by Clinton when his pee-pee wandered.

Why are the Clintons trying to destroy the reputation of two private citizens (Ayers and Wright) and allowing them to be railroaded by the RW?

Rezko has nothing to do with Obama.

Why did Bill receive $15 million from Ron Burkle and $3 million from Vin Gupta?

What's with Bill and Mark Penn's ties to the Colombian death squad government?
