I find it amazing that Barack Obama rose to power in the Chicago political machine and has not been tied to any of the events that have gone on there. For some reason the President-Elect can pal around with former terrorists, sit in an anti- American, Black Liberation theology church with a radical nut job pastor and not be effected. The amount of corruption that takes place in the Chicago political machine is just simply amazing. The man who sold Obama his house is in jail for corruption and is singing like a canary but yet Obama is like John Gotti, nothing can stick to him. Obama's chief of staff comes from the same backgorund politically. Good old Rhambo is the biggest partisan thug out there. But yet it does not effect Obama.
So here are my questions. How can Obama lead our country with the cast of characters that has been around him? Also how could he have not known what was going on and not say anything to anyone? Was he too worried about his own career to care what was going on? Is he that bad a judge of character? How much does he know? More importantly, was he involved with any of it? Or was he a niave participant just trying to move up? These are a few questions I and many other Americans have about Obama. I just find it hard to beleive he has no knowledge of any of the goings on there in Chicago. Yes he may not have particapated, but I am sure he knows morethan he is saying. I hope that these questions wil get answered.
