We all have associations. Most of us neither know nor care what our associates believe or say about politics. Associations are very different from alliances.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 Obama. They are people with whom he chose to ally himself for years, and with some of whom some serious money changed hands.Obama 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.

Obama is running on an image that is the opposite of what he has been doing for two decades.

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.”
This was in my newspaper yesterday in a little spot in the back. I had to squint to see it! I thought it was interesting. It was written by Thomas Sowell. He was promoting a book by Favid Freddosco.The book is called ” The Case Against Barack Obama”. I thought it was interesting. I dont understand America sometimes.

Stifling of free speech — it’s the Obama way!

No doubt the work of the fair and open Obamanuts.
