“Judgment” has become the byword of the election. Barack Obama has always wanted the election to be about the importance of “good judgment,” not experience. It is difficult to understand Obama’s claim to “good judgment.” When has any modern major party presidential nominee so frequently changed his positions on so many important issues or blamed his staff for so many problems?
I don't need to question Obama's judgment. It's really simple.
He hasn't any.
I do believe that a person is judged by the company they keep. I also believe that you can't lie down with the hogs and get up smelling like roses.
So let's look at his friends, the company he keeps.
William Ayers and Bernadette Dohrne, two major players in the Weather Underground, who repeatedly tried to bomb government buildings and who forty years later still advocate terrorist action against the United States, and have not repented of their actions in a leftist cause one bit.
Jeremiah Wright, Obama's pastor for 20-plus years, the man who married him and Mrs. "I'm ashamed to be an American" Michelle Obama, a black nationalist separatist who has damned the United States, and more than once, from his pulpit.
Father Michael Pfleuger, a Catholic priest who has been reprimanded and disavowed by his Archbishop, who uses fascist tactics reminiscent of the Nazi Stormtroopers, who favors taking the owners of gun shops out and 'disappearing' them in the woods.
Tony Rezko, the Illinois Democratic Party's fixer, who gave Obama tens of thousands of dollars that went to buy his Chicago mansion, and who raised more than $150,000 for his various political campaigns. He was just convicted on bribery charges and is doing jail time, and will emerge as a convicted felon.
Presidents tend to appoint friends and people who think the same way they do to the senior policy-making positions in their Administrations. If these are Obama's friends, what sort of people would he appoint to be Secretaries and Undersecretaries in his administration?
Frankly, we'd do better to hand the government over to the Mafia than to Obama. Or would we not be able to tell the difference between the two?
Add to that his constant "We need change" as his primary platform for his presidential bid and then picking argueably one of the most firmly entrenched "old line" status quo Washington Democrats as his running mate.
