I’m not a pundit. I’ve never even played one in a movie. But, as Glenn Beck likes to say, I am a thinker.

Tony Rezko, Jeremiah Wright, Father Pfleger, Raila Odinga, and of course William Ayers. All with ties to Barack Obama and all residents of the large tract of real estate under the Obama bus. I think these associations are important and speak volumes about the Man Who Would Be Prez.

While there are many questions about how much influence this group had and has on Obama, I think there is another way to look at this. His primary spin (although there are many) seems to be “I didn’t know.” It’s been a theme he has used whenever one of these associations has gotten close enough and hot enough to burn.

But I think this presents it’s own problem and ties in with the title of this post. Simply put, when talking about these associations there are two possibilities: He is telling the truth or he is lying. If he is lying about the depth of his knowledge regarding these terrorists, racists, and America haters, he clearly does not have the temperament and character to lead our nation. On the other hand, if he is telling the truth and he didn’t know about the hatred, radicalism and illegalities of these players he would have to be the dumbest politician to ever cross the Potomac.

It is really that simple. Which is it? It really doesn’t matter. In either case Barack Obama is not a leader and should never be placed in a position the depends on his questionable leadership abilities.
