Obama should be careful when he links McCain to Bush (he’s guilty by association, too)
Letters
St. Louis Post-Dispatch

Senator Obama has been saying Senator Mc Cain is another President Bush, because he has voted with him on a number of issues in the Senate. Well, so have Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, and many other democrats.

If we are guilty by association, then what about involvement with a domestic terrorist, a radical pastor, an organization that strong arms banks and members of the democrats in Washington to provide loans to “high risk” customers and who are involved in voter fraud, and let’s not forget a Syrian-born money launderer, who has committed fraud, aiding bribery and attempted extortion.

Ayers a grantee of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge (CAC), a school reform organization in the 1990s, and was cochairman of the Chicago School Reform Collaborative. Obama, then not yet a state senator, became chairman of the CAC in 1995, and the first organizing meeting for Obama’s state Senate campaign was held in Ayers’s apartment. Ayers wrote a memoir, “I don’t regret setting bombs,” “I feel we didn’t do enough.” Ayers helped Obama gain insider status in Chicago civic life and politics

Sen. Barack Obama’s pastor says blacks should not sing “God Bless America” but “God damn America.” And has stated the United States had brought on al Qaeda’s attacks because of its own terrorism.

ACORN takes 40 percent of its revenues from American taxpayers and has leveraged government subsidies to fund affiliates that promote the welfare state and undermine capitalism, some of which have been implicated in perpetuating illegal immigration and encouraging voter fraud. ACORN has commingled public tax dollars with political projects. Barack Obama cut his ideological teeth working with ACORN as a “community organizer” and legal representative.

Tomy Rezko approached Obama in 1990, after reading that he had become the first African-American president of the Harvard Law Review. Rezko offered Obama a job building inner-city homes in Chicago. As a lawyer, Obama did six hours’ work for Rezko’s company in state-subsidized apartment rehabilitation projects.
