While the pro-Obama media likes to suggest that any objection to Obama is race inspired, one of my many reasons for voting against Obama is the company he keeps. (see http://a-big-bang.blogspot.com/2008/05/obama-is-known-by-company-he-keeps.html) Latest in that line of bad acquaintances are Eric Holder and Jim Johnson, members—now past members simply because the truth came out—of his Vice President Search team.
Why should we know Eric Holder’s name? He was behind the Bill Clinton “last minute of his presidency” pardon of Marc Rich, the international criminal and fugitive sought for making illegal oil deals with Iran during the hostage crisis. Coincidentally, his ex-wife, Denise Rich, is a big contributor to the Clinton campaigns. Clinton’s other advisors, by the way, sought to deny this pardon that even the New York Times called “indefensible.”
More offensive than facilitating Rich’s pardon, Eric Holder was also behind the last minute pardons of 16 FALN members who carried out terrorist attacks against the United States: 120 bombs resulting in six deaths and severe injuries and maiming to others. These terrorists who refused to renounce violence and terrorism despite the pardon accounted for 16 of the 140 pardons Clinton issued on his final day in office. When I consider Eric Holder’s past “contributions,” I have to puzzle about Obama’s consistent lack of judgement in choosing the people with which he associates and in whom he puts his trust.
Obama did not try to justify his pick of Holder, but would he go back to his excuse for being friends with William Ayers the Weather Underground member who also favors bombings and refuses to denounce the terrorism he once employed? Obama says he was only a child when Ayers was bombing government buildings and supporting the murderers in the 1983 Brinks robbery in Nanuet, New York. Forgive and forget? That could be why Obama doesn’t begin to understand the Amadinijads of this world.
Jim Johnson, a manager of that same Obama Vice President search team, resigned this week because of personal loan deals in which he received the kind of preferential rates you and I will never see--with the help of Angelo Mozilo, CEO of Countrywide Financial Corp., part of the federal investigation surrounding the subprime mortgage fiasco that has led to such widespread negative economic consequences across the country. How can Obama trust a man like this?
Barak Obama’s obvious inability to surround himself with wise and knowledgeable advisors should be a red flag for all of us. No president is an expert on everything, so he makes his decisions based on his own beliefs and knowledge as well as the knowledge of experts and advisors he chooses to aid him. Many of the people Barak Obama relies upon are of dubious and sometimes of criminal character. We, the people, should be worried.
About the race thing I alluded to at the top of my post, I spotted a professionally painted “Vote for Obama” van in Monroe, New York with this lettering: “Racists vote Republican.” I’ve a feeling this is just the beginning.
