Is Barack Obama going to be America’s next charismatically leftist leader?
By P Alfonso on Jun 9, 2008 | In 9. Presidential Election 2008
Obama’s close associate and fund raiser since he entered politics, Tony Rezko, was recently convicted of sixteen out of twenty-four charges filed against him. His nine week trial in Chicago exposed a corrupt culture of payoffs and campaign finance abuses plaguing Illinois politics.
“Tell me who your friends are, and I’ll tell you who you are”
Follow up:
Unless Barack Obama is just a high caliber opportunist; he is by far not the person he pretends to be. Honest people do not associate with crooks. Peaceful people do not hang out with violent people. People-loving people do not band together with racists. It should not be hard to realize, that there is more to the story than we can see. People become close with people they feel comfortable with. Those who feel comfortable befriending the people that Obama has befriended should be able to feel comfortable with a President that will choose a cabinet that will resemble those that surrounded Al Capone. Wasn’t he also a big shot in Chicago and was involved in similar dealings as Tony Rezko?
Let’s see it in more simple terms. If Tony Rezko had not been exposed and convicted; if Bill Ayers, a well known anti US terrorist, would have not been rediscovered; if Jeremiah Wright's anti-government and racial slurs would have not been exposed; then doesn’t it follow that these people would be closely associated with the President, perhaps even in his cabinet? How many more associates like these is Obama hiding in the closet?
Don’t forget that now the defunct and rejected Jeremiah Wright, by Obama’s own words, was his mentor of twenty years. The definition of mentor: “A trusted counselor or teacher.” In other words someone you look up to and wish to be like. So, for twenty years what did he learn from his counselor and teacher Jeremiah Wright? Could you not know a person well whom you had a close relationship with for twenty years? What should be of concern is the real reason Barack Obama wants to be the President of the United States of America.
Undeniably, Obama is charismatic, but charisma does not qualify a person to be the President of the United States of America. Charisma just makes a vast number of people not see clearly who the person really is. History shows us that charismatic leaders have been able to blindly rally the masses behind them, only to later oppress them. We already have two leftist charismatic leaders in our American continent: Fidel Castro and Hugo Chavez.
Do you really want Barack Obama and his associates ruling our Country?
Vote wisely in 2008
