According to who, you? Of course any Republican has a problematic history according to you. But problematic histories mean nothing when its a Democrat, such as hobnobbing with Communists and domestic Terrorists, no problem at all, right cyclops? Fact is, maybe its a resume enhancement as far as you are concerned?

And one of Obama's greatest accomplishments was he won an election, whoopee doo, cyclops!

hobnobbing with Communists and domestic Terrorists
for which he has never provided proof. What does "hobnobbing" mean? That they were once in the same room or city?

@okie,
No, what you claim has already been proven as lies and myths spread by the conservatives. That'd be you!

I've provided proof earlier on this blog.

Not according to me, Okie - but according to your fellow Republicans. I certainly don't use MY lens to decide who your party is going to put forward.

But, since I'm so wrong, why don't you go ahead and point out who the front-runners are? And convince me that it's just my partisanship that says they have problems as candidates.

Regarding Obama's history, the country firmly didn't give a ****. You ought to accept that fact. At the time you predicted the opposite...

That's not one of his 'greatest' accomplishments, Okie. But it is fair to say that the guy is good at winning elections, and when you are looking for a candidate to, yaknow, win an election, how is it a bad thing to have a good track record?

Are you denying that William Ayers and his wife were members of the Weathermen? And are you denying that the Weathermen were Marxist sympathizers? Are you also denying that they attempted to blow up the Pentagon? Are you denying that Alice Palmer personally recommended Obama for her seat in Illinois, and that she was a communist? Just a few examples. How many more do you need? The following is only a very small percentage of mountains of information you could become better informed with.
http://dyn.politico.com/printstory.cfm?uuid=3FC289D8-3048-5C12-009AD5180C22FF0B

"In 1995, State Senator Alice Palmer introduced her chosen successor, Barack Obama, to a few of the district’s influential liberals at the home of two well known figures on the local left: William Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn.

While Ayers and Dohrn may be thought of in Hyde Park as local activists, they’re better known nationally as two of the most notorious — and unrepentant — figures from the violent fringe of the 1960s anti-war movement.

Now, as Obama runs for president, what two guests recall as an unremarkable gathering on the road to a minor elected office stands as a symbol of how swiftly he has risen from a man in the Hyde Park left to one closing in fast on the Democratic nomination for president.

“I can remember being one of a small group of people who came to Bill Ayers’ house to learn that Alice Palmer was stepping down from the senate and running for Congress,” said Dr. Quentin Young, a prominent Chicago physician and advocate for single-payer health care, of the informal gathering at the home of Ayers and his wife, Dohrn. “[Palmer] identified [Obama] as her successor.”

Obama and Palmer “were both there,” he said."

People change and we would like to see what you were like in your twenties - probablya long-haired hippie against the draft.

@okie,
They were both there? WOW, that's the end of the world as we know it! Obama was in the same place as Ayers, and that makes him a Marxist sympathizer?

I want to get a look-see at your report cards where you claim how well you did in school?

@cicerone imposter,
If I were a politician, I would not darken their front door, ci, at least not to have my political career kicked off. No way. I am not into symbolism that much, but that event might have been eerily symbolic.

By the way, I just read about this Alice Palmer the other day. Strange political figure indeed. A communist party member apparently, and she personally endorsed Obama for her seat. How come does she pick him? What does she know about him and how well does she know him? I would guess that a person that personally endorses someone in politics would so so because they share common political beliefs. Just my guess, ci, and since I am stupid according to you, that has to be wrong, right? You must therefore think politicians always endorse people that are totally at the other end of the political spectrum?

All speculation without any merit or substance. It's all your imagination again playing "you're it." What does it matter in the grand scheme of things - except for small minded people like you who have the time to waste on nonsensical junk.

There are important issues of our day, and that doesn't include 99% of what you present here on a2k.

@cicerone imposter,
Are you saying Alice Palmer did not exist, that she was not a communist, and that she did not endorse Obama for her seat in Illinois? Many other questions come to mind, but are those facts just figments of my imagination, ci?

@okie,
Where did I ever say such a thing - or even used her name in any of my posts?

Obama has worked with Ayers, and was introduced by Palmer, but what other connections are there that are questionable? Your imagination is always on over-drive, and cannot be relied upon to make sense or have any credibility, because you have never provided evidence that something untoward by these connections happened. Just innuendos.

Grow up, okie. There's more to life than rumors about Obama's meetings and connections with those you disapprove of. Not many care except extremist conservatives like you who love to dream up issues where none exists.

What matters is the individual's character, and how they make domestic and international decisions.

Quit dreaming things up; it's a waste of time.

@okie,
As my ability to read is superior to yours and as I have studied political science and I was once a journalist (you have no idea how much journalists have to read on the job and that they are specifically trained to understand texts), I am better able to interpret the Eisenhower piece you posted.

Why it is relevant is questionable. The man is long dead and was never known as a philosopher.

I did tell you that I would read it if you would eliminate the red letters and miscellaneous type faces. Those would anger me.

I am looking into my crystal ball. I see a blackboard in our future. A homely man with a large nose is crying as he writes on the blackboard. He shoves his large nose into the camera.

You only think that because you are more extreme than 99 and 44/100s % of all Americans. Thank god for that!

This is because 'communism' was the scare word that was replaced by 'terrorism' in our modern times.


Excellent analogy! Our political rhetoric since the closing of WWII is straight out of Nineteen Eighty-Four.

Any dirt on conservatives? As a young woman during the 1960s, I knew how dangerous it was to accept a date only to learn, oh! the horror! that the young man was -- GASP! -- right of center!

Well, it is entirely possible that you would not be welcomed at the front door of William and Bernadette.

@plainoldme,
okie, You're the one who would be the darkening the door. You walk in with a grudge and negative thinking about almost everything. How do you survive in this world? Do you know who your friends have associated with? Who they were in the same room with? Were they Marxists, communists, social workers, politicos, or god forbid, liberals?

Have you lambasted any of your friends yet for sharing the same room with "those" people?
