Is what my mom always says. “If you hangout with criminals or people who do things many people look down upon then you too were share that same scrutiny and distrust.”

It seems to me there are two ways to go about about looking at this.  Mr. Obama either believes in the things that Rev. Wright and Bill Ayers believes and he is on a dangerous fringe.  A fringe that exists on the conservative side as well, but is dangerous none-the-less either way.

Or he just aligned with these gentlemen to gather votes.  Support from Rev. Wright gives Mr. Obama credit in the black community, which he didn’t really grow up in being raised by his white grandmother.  Its hard for me to accept that Mr. Obama doesn’t believe most if not all of the Rev. Wrights ideas and beliefs.  Its not merely a stepping stone if you spend more than twenty years sitting in the same pew.

As for Bill Ayers, Jesus.  If you have great political aspirations why would you even THINK about being in the same room with a husband and wife who might have bombed government buildings.  Its just not worth it!
