There's an old expression that says "if you lie with dogs, you get fleas." Either Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama has never heard this expression or he simply doesn't care.
Here are some of the recent associations linked to Barack Obama by various news reports.
1. Louis Farrakhan-The radical "Nation of Islam" leader who once claimed whites“blue eyed devils” and Jews “bloodsuckers that controlled the slave trade."Many campaigns have been sunk for much less than even one of these associations. It's enough to truly make you wonder not only about Obama but those who are willing to vote for him as well.
Farrakhan was awarded honors by Obama's church claiming that Farrakhan“truly epitomized greatness.” Farrakhan had nothing but love in return for Obama at a recent Nation of Islam gathering when he declared Obama the “hope of the entire world.”
2. Frank Marshall Davis-a member of the old Moscow-controlled Communist Party USA.
Cited as a friend and adviser by Obama while he was growing up in Hawaii.
3. Abongo "Roy" Obama- Barack's own brother-Luo activist and a militant Muslim who argues that the black man must "liberate himself from the poisoning influences of European culture."
“The person who made me proudest of all,” Obama once wrote, “was Roy. Actually, now we call him Abongo, his Luo name, for two years ago he decided to reassert his African heritage."
4. William Ayers-terrorist leader of the violent left-wing activist group the Weather Underground.
Ayers by his own admission was involved in the bombing of high-profile government buildings including the United States Capitol, The Pentagon, and the Harry S Truman Building housing the State Department. The day of the September 11 terrorist attacks, Ayers was quoted by the New York Times as saying: "I don't regret setting bombs. I feel we didn't do enough." In 1995, Obama visited Ayers home where State Senator Alice Palmer proclaimed Obama to be her chosen successor. Ayers and Obama served together on the nine-member board of the Woods Fund, a Chicago nonprofit, for three years beginning in 1999, and they have also appeared jointly on two academic panels, one in 1997 and another in 2001. As an Illinois state senator in 2001, Obama accepted a contribution from Ayers.
5. Antoin “Tony” Rezko-Currently on trial for money-laundering, fraud, aiding bribery and attempted extortion.
Buried on page 59 of the indictment against Rezko is a reference to one of many alleged kickbacks on a state contract that appears to have ended up as a $10,000 donation to an unnamed “political candidate”. The candidate has been identified as Barack Obama. . In 2003, when Obama announced he was running for the U.S. Senate, Rezko - a member of his campaign finance committee - held a lavish fund-raiser for Obama on June 27, 2003, at his Wilmette mansion. It is has also been reported that the Rezko family may have aided in the purchase and the expansion of the Obama family home in Chicago.
