Obama's associations will be coming home to roost. Now that Sen. Obama has clinched the nomination, the question is “Who Will Be Sleeping In The Lincoln Bedroom, In January 09?” Please Consider: http://zachjonesishome.wordpress.com/who-will-be-sleeping-in-the-lincoln-bedroom-in-january-09/

These facts will continue to rise, continue to follow BHO and will continue to add to the list of issues afflicting his ability to make good choices in associates. How will he ever choose a VP, cabinet or nominate anyone? If the biased press ever (doubtful)gets into his spouses writings while at Princeton, BHO will have to throw her under the bus next! His best list of things to do would be to let HRC receive the nomination. Where there is smoke, there is fire and the BHO smoking gun is not yet out of ricochets!

The Manchurian Candidate Becomes A Reality. God Help Us. Obama, whose father was a practicing Muslim and whose mother was a radical Marxist, has stated that his mother: "Was the dominant figure in my formative years; and, the values she taught me continue to be my touchstone in the world of politics". Common sense deductive reasoning suggests that Obama's rearing as a child, and his extended 20yr relationships, and obvious conformity, with anti-American fanatics such as Rev. Wright ( the Pastor of his church that promoted the doctrine of Louis Farrakhan ) , and Frank Davis and William Ayers, etc., etc., are in fact reflective of Obama's true psychological makeup. A conclusion rigidly re-enforced by Obama's San Francisco commentary denigrating folks from small-town America. Obama's affinity for questionable associates such as Tony Rezco, a convicted felon, raises a myriad of questions. Further, his increasingly frequent petulant responses to legitimate criticism is troubling. This man's refusal to wear an American flag lapel pin and to place his hand over his heart on the singing of our National Anthem are conditioned reflexes from his protracted association with disaffected elements in our society; visual images that Obama is certain to attempt to obfuscate in future campaign appearances; even though, he has openly admitted: "I didn't want to offend Muslims and others who don't like America.". Obama is our "home-grown" version of Hugo Chavez. Further, Michelle Obama's angry commentary directed at our country is telling. Fifty-seven (57) State Obama's comments that he would use U.S. Military Forces against Pakistan, a Nation with a sizable nuclear arsenal, and an ally in the war on terror, even without President Musharraf's permission; a Nation that he mistakenly believed to be Arab; his indecision/confusion as to whether Iran poses a serious regional threat; while in other commentary, stating that he would halt the U.S. military's development of advanced weapons systems demonstrates a profound ignorance of the geopolitical threat environment confronting America. His long-term subversive associations, and his immersion in seditious diatribe have indeed revealed Obama as the real-life Manchurian Candidate. Greg Neubeck

Gee, you think the guy that monikored the "change" slogan is any different then the association he has with the corrupt mob of democrats in Chicago he runs with? Please. Many of his backers / supporters argue that his friends and associates should not blemish his positions. But what has he done to promote this high and lofty plans. In fact what has he done in any position he has held to demonstrate leadership? And he is running for President. Great!

Rezko has found saefty and solitude by requesting to go direct to prison while the appeal process moves ahead. Perhaps that triggers the appeals process to move faster. He is only one of BHOs known associates that should cause a BHO downfall or as many have written - Nobama. The real problem is that the BHO known associates largely not been recognized by BHO as problem people. He has not represented them legally but simply known them. So I can only deduct that BHO has a extremely poor aptitude in judging personalities and therefore takes him off my list of potential Presidents. He simply has had too many of these 'known associates' to be a candidate of choice. So back to the old premise, 'the lesser of two evils'! Maybe HRC will still get her chance!
