It has been virtually impossible to get the mainstream media to properly investigate all of Obama’s allies. Hardly anyone mentions Obama’s connection to the writings of Saul Alinsky, the “original” community organizer whose philosophy was decidedly Marxist. What does Obama say about Alinsky?
Finally, a few days ago, the New York Times wrote an article about William Ayers, one of the founders of the radical group Weatherman. Ayers set bombs at the Pentagon and the Capitol back in the early 1970s. Everyone knows he did it; he got off only on a technicality regarding prosecutorial malpractice. He does not regret what he did; he wishes he could have done more. The only problem with the Times piece is that it is an apologetic for Obama, concluding he didn’t really know Ayers all that well–an assertion that is easily refuted.
Obama’s political career started in William Ayers’s living room. He served on boards with Ayers. He channeled money to Ayers that was used to indoctrinate children into radical politics. What does Obama say about Ayers?
Tony Rezko is a real estate wheeler-dealer who contributed to Obama’s campaign and helped him get a house through rather shady practices. He was recently convicted of fraud and bribery. Obama, of course, comments:
And how can one forget the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Obama’s pastor for over 20 years? He and his church are the epitome of radical thought based on liberation theology. Obama supposedly listened to him all those years and yet his attitude toward him right now?
Finally (at least for the purposes of this post), there is Franklin Raines, former Clinton administration official who then went on to “manage” Fannie Mae. When he left, he took with him over $90 million in bonuses. He has been one of Obama’s financial advisors (just because he is not on the payroll doesn’t mean he isn’t actively involved in the campaign). Obama on Raines?
In light of all this, what should America say to Obama?
