At some point Barack Obama must be asked some hard questions about his associations. He seems to be surrounded by people who dislike America, have attacked America and who promote racial divisiveness. These associations bring into question his leadership ability, or perhaps more importantly, his leadership focus.
He is friends with and has worked with a member of the weatherman. This friend is an admitted bomber and attempted killer of his fellow citizens. He should be locked up for life or executed but he runs free and Obama is his friend. In all these years the man is unrepentant for his acts of terrorism. He is and was a terrorist and he is Obama's friend and thier children play together.
His minister and the man who inspired his book ‘The Audacity of Hope’ is a blatant racist and anti-Semite. His church has given Louis Farrakan a life time achievement award. From the pulpit his minister rants against America and white people. Barack has been a member of the church for 20 years, his daughters are exposed to this divisive rhetoric and Barack looks to this man for spiritual guidance.
Barack’s wife does not sound too dissimilar in her comments to the good minister. Obviously someone in the Barack household is in agreement with the minister’s venomous rhetoric. And if she is in agreement with this un-American garbage then can the children be far behind? For that matter she campaigns on his behalf so they must share common values.
So Barack is surrounded by people who dislike America, have bombed America and who rant from the pulpit about how terrible America is. Is there any evidence anywhere that he has stood up at church during one of the minister’s rants and provided a counter point? Has he distanced himself from his weatherman connection and denounced acts of terrorism committed by this scum? Has he kept his family, especially his impressionable children, from exposure to his minister’s divisiveness and America hating rhetoric? Evidence to date is that he has not. And lacking the leadership, or more importantly the convictions, to act against these many and very significant un-American influences in his life only brings into clearer focus that what Obama says and how he says it may have very little to do with who he really is. He is entirely unfit for the Presidency of our nation.
