Barack Obama claims to transcend old style politics. He says he represents “change America can believe in.” What about his record?

Obama appears to be an extremely savvy politician, able to present a “change” perception through a calculated strategy of taking the position of rarely taking a position. As editor for the Harvard Law Review Obama never wrote a editorial, nor did he provide any archival writings from his years in that position. After being elected State Senator in Illinois Obama voted “present” 129 times on key issues. Unfortunately the position of President does not lend itself to making “present” votes. I believe Obama’s history, or lack therein, is part of a well thought out, calculated plan, necessary to keep his radical agenda and belief system from the American public.

However Obama has been unable to obscure from scrutiny his past associations to black separatist theology, convicted felons tied to good ole boy Chicago politics, and most damning, leaders of the domestic terror group Weather Underground, Bernadine Dohrne and William Ayers who on Sept 11, 2001 (of all days) claimed they didn‘t bomb enough in the NY Times.

George Stephanopoulos questioned Obama during the Hillary debate on ABC about Ayers. Obama arrogantly dismissed the mention of his association as a “distraction” from the key issues. Again when asked by Bill O’Reilly Obama said, “I know thousands of people,” and “This guy did something despicable 40 years ago,” and then my favorite, “we’re getting too far a field,” and finally, “it is classic guilt by association.”

Obama’s entire campaign is now being run by saying McCain/ Palin are just like George Bush, guilt by association, McSame, McBush and the like. Obama’s assertions claiming his unique new form of politics, followed by his own guilt by association “entitles” Obama’s opposition the “O’bomb-a-Same.”

Yes Mr. Obama it is classic guilt by association. Most Americans do not know domestic terrorists, do not kick off their political careers in the homes of domestic terrorists, and do not admit to being “friendly” with domestic terrorists.

I watched Jim Lehrer interview McCain’s fellow POW and supporter during the Republican convention. Lehrer observed the Congressional Medal of Honor hanging from the man’s neck. He then told how he’d watched John McCain dragged past his cell through a peep hole, dragging broken limbs from torture sessions, limbs trailing behind a soldier’s unbroken spirit as indicated by a extended thumb and a wry grin.

I realized something as I heard that POW’s story. While that Congressional Medal of Honor recipient was watching McCain drag past his cell, Barack Obama’s admitted unrepentant terrorist friend, Bill Ayers, was busy plotting terrorist acts against our country, eventually bombing our Capital and Pentagon.

Its gonna be a tough decision-NOT.
