Barack Obama's political foes have attacked his ties to several associates, including a 1960s radical and a professor who has criticized Israel. Have Obama's responses to the controversies satisified you? Tell us why or why not.
His responses have not even scratched the surface about the deep rooted ties to anti-American radicals. The Rev. Wright issue was swept up under the rug as soon as he claimed to distance himself from him... if 20 years of listening to Wright didn't make him distance himself from him, he certainly can't start now.
Hussein obama has not told the truth about anything or any of his political ties to terrorists and corrupt politicians. He is a scary man and it amazes me that so many people have fallen for his crap! Very scary!
How can anyone who can't pass a required security clearance due to his terrorist friends ever be our President?
Why would anyone want someone who can't pass security to be elected to anything. Not Mayor. Not Governor. Not President. Not even dogcatcher!
Obama continues to fluff off these disgusting associate ties that he's kept for as many as 20 years with some. He continues to play the poor little me race card. I've yet to see him stand up like a man and simply tell the truth about who he really is. Much less explain why I want to give him my vote so that he can destroy the United States with a Socialist government. No way. NOBAMA!!
No, his responses have not satisfied me. I would like to just exactly what his intentions are for our country. If there was just one or even two questionable characters in his past it might be different, but there a whole list of radicals, terriost ties, and people that mean nothing but harm for this country or our allies. This man is not what he seems. It scares the hell out of me. Yes, he talks about change, but just exactly what kind of change is he talking about. Just remember Jim Jones talked about change and faith and look at all the followers he had and what he did to them. DON'T DRINK THE KOOL-AID. DON'T DRINK THE KOOL-AID.
It sounds to me as though the McCain campaign is so desperate that they are seeking any obscure association to use in their mud slinging capaign. I personally want a president that is comfortable with people who have differeing opinions. I want someone who is open to ideas and information, who will listen but will make his own decisions.
We cannot have peace in this world if we are unwilling to talk and listen to those who are our antagonists and our supporters.

Absolutely not! I am even more suspicious of Obama. I don't understand how he could even run for the Pres. of the U.S.A without a thorough investigation into his background. What is wrong with us to go along with this especially at this time of history ?? My vote now is for the one who is not hiding his true self
His answers have always satisfied me. The accusations have come from desperate people who are grasping at straws to win this election. If one looked closely at John McCain's or Sarah Palin's associations over the years...if someone chose that negative, desperate tactic, I'm sure they'd find some questionable neighbors, co-workers, military buddies, fellow moose-hunters, etc., etc.
I think Obama has avoided answering questions about his ties to some very anti-American people.
