Dancing, Character & Judgment

Dancing With The Stars

And Cloris is still dancing. We just don’t get it. Who is voting for Cloris Leachman? She wasn’t even in the bottom two last night. Toni Braxton was voted off—she wasn’t the best dancer, but she wasn’t Cloris either.

Character

On his website, John McCain effectively compares Obama’s rhetoric against his record and offers the documentation to back it up. These are just a few of the misrepresentations (lies) that Obama has made regarding his record. It seems to us that Obama is willing to do or say anything to get elected.

Judgment

Much has been said about the judgment of Barack Obama. The following article addresses this issue. It was written by Victor Davis Hanson for the National Review Online. Obama’s judgment and associations are a major concern. It is our belief that folks associate with those whose belief system mirrors their own. Heaven help us if he wins this election, because only heaven can.

“‘He [Obama] said they have not spoken by phone or exchanged e-mail messages since Mr. Obama began serving in the United States Senate in January 2005’” (New York Times, 10/3)

Why in the world was Barack Obama still communicating on the phone or via email with Bill Ayers up until 2005 — when in 2001 Ayers gave widely publicized interviews claiming he had no regrets about the bombing, indeed regretted that he had not done enough, and did not necessarily have any remorse either about his Weathermen career?

Ponder that: the possible next President of the United States, well after 9/11 and in the climate of hourly worry over terrorism here at home, was still friendly and communicating with an associate that had to abandon his book tour due to popular outcry, and was widely quoted as absolutely unrepentant about his terrorism. That is a damning indictment of his judgment — among other things — and it is no "smear" to raise the issue.

Indeed, there is a disturbing pattern here. Obama's once-close radical Chicago associates are never jettisoned out of principle, but only at the 11th-hour when they became impediments to Obama's political career. Thus Wright is defended throughout his racist rantings, until he makes the unfortunate decision of bringing that hatred to DC's elite nexus at the National Press Club — and only then is immediately dropped, as Obama resigns from Trinity Church. Ditto Ayers. What made Obama cease communications with Ayers was not the latter's radicalism (indeed Obama facilitated it by serving with Ayers to dispense millions to questionable organizations), nor even Ayers' boasts in 2001 of having no regrets about trying to blow up government buildings. Instead, 2005 coincides with Obama's ascension to the Senate and the plan to begin running for the Presidency — and thus Ayers, like Wright later, became expendable. Ditto Rezko, Pfleger et al.”
