I read this list over at Little Green Footballs today. It’s a pretty good breakdown of the many less-than-above-board affiliations Mr. Obama has with some pretty anti-Israel characters around the country, including professors, pastors, and advisers. As much as I’d like to believe that Obama will bring change that is good for America, I think he’ll be more of a foreign policy disaster than anything else.
So read the list and judge for yourself. Do we really want someone with this sort of character-judgment in the white house? Carter was bad enough, do we really need another Jimmy?
Here’s a quick run-down of some of Barack Obama’s questionable and disturbing associations:
* Rabidly anti-Israel Columbia University professor Rashid Khalidi. The Obamas were regular dinner guests at Khalidi’s Hyde Park home for years.
* Terrorist sympathizer Ali Abunimah, who runs the viciously anti-Israel web site Electronic Intifada.
* Unrepentant Weather Underground terrorists William Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn.
* Reverend Jeremiah Wright. What more needs to be said?
* Anti-Israel foreign policy adviser Samantha Power — fired after calling Hillary Clinton a “monster.”
* Anti-Israel foreign policy adviser Robert Malley — fired when it was revealed he has been holding talks with Hamas.
* Hatem El-Hady, former official of the Hamas-linked charity Kindhearts, closed by the Justice Department. El-Hady’s web page suddenly vanished from the Obama campaign site with no explanation, after being exposed by LGF and others.
* Tony Rezko — a Chicago fixer currently in a whole lot of legal trouble.
There are more, I know; this is just off the top of my head.
I have never witnessed a presidential election in which a major candidate had this many skeletons in his closet.

Not to mention the New Black Panther party had a dedicated page on Obama’s website, which was also pulled after the general public discovered it.
