why it does matter.

Obama camp on Rezko: “Nothing to see here. Just move along.”

Obama camp on ACORN: “Nothing to see here. Move along.”

Obama camp on Ayers: “People don’t care about these issues. They are worried about the economy. Move along.”

Obama camp on Wright: “Nothing to see here people, keep it moving.”

Obama camp on Jim Johnson and Fannie Mae/Freddy Mac: “Move along. Nothing here to see.”

But what the Obama camp doesn’t want you to believe, and his supporters don’t understand, is that these associations DO matter, and DO relate to what is happening with the economy, and who is best to handle it.

Obama is friends with Tony Rezko, and even purchased his home with him. Obama has lied about how much Rezko contributed to his campaign, and he has lied about what he knew, and when he knew it. Rezko is a slumlord. He owned the slums where people froze to death in the winter because they didn’t have heat, and almost 800 that died in the heat wave of 1995. The very districts that Obama was responsible for in IL are the worst in the country. Obama and Tony were responsible for those districts, and they are in shambles. Rezko was found guilty of mail fraud, wire fraud, soliciting bribes, and money laundering in connection to a federal investigation into political corruption in the state of Illinois.

What are Obama’s plans for the rest of the country? You have to question his ability and his intentions, when he has failed in his own state.

“This isn’t the Tony Rezko I knew…” Obama.

Obama worked for and is associated with ACORN, and has donated funds to them. And there is MASSIVE voter registration fraud going on, right now, today. Stories are breaking minute by minute. There is an active action, happening right now, to get Obama into the White House, by any means possible.

If Obama happens to win, and had done so honestly (I don’t believe he even won the primary honestly), then that would be the will of the majority of the people, and that is the way it should be. The President should be elected by the will of the people. I may not like the outcome, but if it is fair, it is fair. I would be unhappy, but I would respect the decision. I will not, and NO ONE should stand for a President who is elected by a bunch of dead voters, repeat voters, bussed in drunks and other fraudulent means.

You have to ask yourself: What, then, would they be able to pull off with a friend in the White House?

Obama, try as he might to deny it, is closely associated with Ayers. Yes, Ayers bombed the Pentagon 40 years ago, but Obama has been in contact with him, as late as 2005. And this should matter. Ayers has never apologized, and feels no remorse.

“Between 1995 and 1999, Obama distributed the $50 million and raised another $60 million from other civic groups to augment it. In doing so, he was following Ayers’ admonition to grant the funds to “external” organizations, like American Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN), to pair with schools and conduct programs to radicalize the students and politicize them.

That Obama should ally himself with Ayers is almost beyond understanding. The former terrorist had not repented his views, and the education grants he got were expressly designed to further them.

So let’s sum up Obama’s Chicago connections. His chief financial supporter was Tony Rezko, now on his way to federal prison. His spiritual advisor and mentor was the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, of “God damn America” fame. And the guy who got him his only administrative job and put him in charge of doling out $50 million is Ayers, a terrorist who was a domestic Osama bin Laden in his youth.

Even apart from the details of the Obama-Ayers connection, two key points emerge:

– Obama lied and misled the American people in his description of his relationship with Ayers as casual and arm’s length; and

– Obama was consciously guided by Ayers’ radical philosophy, rooted in the teachings of leftist Saul Alinksy, in his distribution of ACA grant funds.”

You have to ask yourself why Obama would align himself with Ayers and Dohrn, and how this affects his thinking, and how it would affect the way he would lead as POTUS.

Obama sat in the church of Reverend Wright for 20 years, listening to his sermons (no need to rehash the content of them) and never spoke out, never left the church, never complained. He praised Wright, titled his book after his sermon, and appointed him to his campaign. THEN he lied about what he knew, and when he knew it.

You have to ask yourself why he would listen to all that, for 20 years, and how those views skew his own thinking. How would he govern moving forward?

Now, for the James Johnson/Fannie Mae/Freddy Mac connections. This has EVERYTHING to do with what is happening now with the economy, and is very important. Obama IS in part responsible for what is happening now. (read my other post) He is part of this problem, takes huge sums of money from them, and appointed Johnson to his VP vetting committee, and opposed a bill that McCain co-sponsored – twice.

If Obama is willing to look the other way, for big campaign contributions, and be part of the problem, that caused the biggest financial crisis since 1929, then you have to ask yourself what he would do as POTUS. And you have to see the relevancy in WHY his friends and associations and actions MATTER.

So, you see, it DOES matter who his friends and associates are. What do they say, Past is Prologue. Obama’s resume is very, very thin. All we have available to assess who he is is by looking at his past actions, and his friends. And it matters who has influenced him. It matters who has helped to shape his outlook and his thinking. Wright used to be referred to as his *spiritual mentor*. Like I said in my previous post – all of those people do not a coincidence make. It is a pattern.

And despite what Obama and his supporters try to tell you, it does matter. And people do care. *Show me your friends, and I’ll tell you who you are.*

It is about judgment.
