What's laughable is that you actually associate Obama with this individual to the point that you make it sound like he would follow this guy's viewpoints and principles. Not only that, but the guy did this over 30 years ago. I'd have to go back and get the specifics of how they know one another, but if I recall, they were on some board or something. The Republicans are trying to damage Obama's credibility through association. Typical trash talking dirty politics.
Oil companies are being targeted, because right now that's where everyone's pocketbook is getting hit. People are ticked off they have to pay over $4.00/gallon for gas, and the company that sells it is making a profit? Wow, supply and demand, what a concept. If Pfizer rose the price of a presciption drug more than 50% over a year's timeframe, you'd hear people scream about that. Microsoft? What, 70% of the computers today run their OS. What's the alternative, MacOS?
Of course they have that big of a profit margin. Yet again, blame by association. I'm sure McCain has NO contributors that have large profit margins. Try again...
Obama call an unrepentant member of the Weather underground his friend, his words not mine. Obama and his wife took their children to a church where they were exposed to hate speech. His choice not mine. Obama considered Frank Marshal Davis a father figure according to his book.
Here's a sample of the poety his "father figure" read to him
The Red Army
“Show the marveling multitudes
Americans, British, all your allied brothers
How strong you are
How great you are
How your young tree of new unity
Planted twenty-five years ago
Bears today the golden fruit of victory!”
Davis also wrote pro communism pieces for a newspaper in Hawaii that was a known communist front and he was identified as a communist party member by the FBI.
Guess what the Weather Underground's stated agenda was? Promoting Marxism.
Think about Michelle Obama's speech "for the first time I am proud of America".
So, Obama is friends with Ayers, Davis he calls a father figure, He attended a church that preeches an anti American agenda for over 20 years and still refuses to rebuke their hateful agenda. Obama has received open support from the Democrat Socialists of America from the start, Tom Hayden, another Marxist organizer supports Obama through his Progressives for Obama.
Now maybe Obama isn't a communist/marxist or whatever but he certainly does seem to have a high tolerance for them and his political agenda is such that they all endorse him.
All that aside there are 3 reason I could never vote for the man
1. His support for the banning of all possession of hand guns
2. His opposition to any parental involvement regarding a minor child recieving an abortion unlees "perhaps if the child were very young, 12 or 13" and his vote against a law that would make it a crime for an adult to take a minor child to another state to avoid parental involvement laws.
3. His lack of foreign policy experience
Add the that the poor judgement he has shown in assiciating with a unrepentant member of a domestic terrorist group and not leaving that church years ago when Operah did. Makes McCain look pretty good to me.
