Obama's Associates.. and what he has to say for himself.

College Roommates-
Sadeeki (sp)-

Columbia-
Harvard- President of Harvard Law Review. How did he get in? Lawyer of Malcom X (Sutton) said a "friend" (Dr. Kalled al Monsour (sp), top advisor to Saudi Official, and leader in the Black Panther, author, Muslim, black nationalist, enemy of Isreal) told him to help Obama get in. Not sure what Obama says yet about these people or how he got into Harvard.
Thesis was titled Soviet and nuclear disarmament.

Gamaleo (sp) Foundation- founded on radical socialist's Salalinski (sp) (Author of Rules for Radicals) ideas. Obama was a Community Organizer for them in Chicago.

Frank Marshall Davis--Obama turns to him in the moment he defines himself as black.(Obama Nation)
Who is he? Davis was a known communist who belonged to a party subservient to the Soviet Union. Black Communist Poet.
What he believes/has done? In fact, the 1951 report of the Commission on Subversive Activities to the Legislature of the Territory of Hawaii identified him as a CPUSA member. What's more, anti-communist congressional committees, including the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC), accused Davis of involvement in several communist-front organizations.

What Obama says -Obama had an admitted relationship with someone who was publicly identified as a member of the Communist Party USA (CPUSA). The record shows that Obama was in Hawaii from 1971-1979, where, at some point in time, he developed a close relationship, almost like a son, with Davis, listening to his "poetry" and getting advice on his career path. But Obama, in his book, Dreams From My Father, refers to him repeatedly as just "Frank."

Malcolm X--Obama openly admits in his book that he felt like he could relate to him. known radical Muslim. He didn't approach racism peacefully but called for violence.
Quote from Malcolm X: "I've never seen a sincere white man, not when it comes to helping black people. The white man is interested in the black man only to the extent that the black man is of use to him. The white man's interest is to make money, to exploit. The common enemy is the white man".

He was a convicted felon and belonged to the Nation of Islam after released, which called for the overthrow of the government

Bill Ayers & his wife Bernadine Dohrn--Weather Underground leaders who bombed...

http://www.gop.com/News/NewsRead.asp...6-c5fe81d901cd'
A couple quotes from here-
During The Time Obama And Ayers Served Together On The Woods Fund, Ayers Was Quoted Saying "I Don't Regret Setting Bombs ... I Feel We Didn't Do Enough." "'I don't regret setting bombs,' Bill Ayers said. 'I feel we didn't do enough.' Mr. Ayers, who spent the 1970's as a fugitive in the Weather Underground, was sitting in the kitchen of his big turn-of-the-19th-century stone house in the Hyde Park district of Chicago." (Dinitia Smith, "No Regrets For A Love Of Explosives," The New York Times, 9/11/01)

While Obama And Ayers Were Serving On The Woods Fund Together, Ayers Posed Standing On An American Flag For An Article In Chicago Magazine Entitled "No Regrets." (Marcia Froelke Coburn, "No Regrets," Chicago Magazine, 8/01)

Neighbors Have Said "It's Only Natural" That Obama Would Know Ayers, Who Often Opens His Home For Gatherings, As Obama And His Wife "Are A Part Of Our Neighborhood And Part Of Our Social Circle." "Since coming out of hiding in 1980, the couple have raised three boys in Chicago and become part of the fabric of their liberal South Side neighborhood. Neighbors said it's only natural that Obama would know Ayers and Dohrn, who often open their homes for gatherings filled with lively discussions about politics, arts and social issues. Obama and his wife 'are part of our neighborhood and part of our social circle,' said Elizabeth Chandler, a neighbor of Ayers'." (Trevor Jensen, Robert Mitchum and Mary Owen, "Bill Ayers' Turbulent Past Contrasts With Quiet Academ ic Life," Chicago Tribune, 4/17/0

Ayers- said I don't regret setting the bombs, I don't think we did enough. I would do it again.. on Sept 11th 2001 !

Obama said they were "friendly" lately he says "He isn't someone I "frequently" ask advice from." Gotta love the frequently.
Obama also said this week "I didn't know he was a terrorist". from here http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1220....html?mod=blog OK, a major in Political Science didn't know he was a terrorist.. ROFL.

Larry Grathwohl FMR FBI Informant lived with various members of Weather Underground. - Ayers taught him how to build a bomb and where to bomb.


Rashid Khalidi--frequent dinner companion of Obama's who hosts a fundraiser for him. In attendance is Ali abunimah (Palestinian, "Electronic Intifada") (Obama Nation)
Who is he- an American historian of the Middle East, is the Edward Said Professor of Arab Studies at Columbia University, and director of the Middle East Institute of Columbia's School of International and Public Affairs. Born in 1950 to a Lebanese Mother and Palestinian Father in New York. Author of Resurrecting Empire: Western Footprints and America's Perilous Path in the Middle East (2004).



What did he do/does he believe -
Khalidi's statements on the status of Palestinians in Israel and the Israeli-occupied territories have been the most controversial. In an interview on PBS, Khalidi used the term "occupied" in reference to Mandatory Palestine in 1948, saying "about half of it was occupied by Israel (which under UNGA 181 was supposed to obtain roughly 55% of Mandate Palestine, and which by the time of the armistice had taken control of about 78%, including half of what was to have been the Arab state)... the remainder was, as you say, under Egyptian and Jordanian control from 1948-1967."[10]
Worked for Wafa in the 80s and has been accused of having ties to the PLO

What does Obama say-
Obama made one of the presentations in praise of Khalidi at a 2003 farewell dinner on the occasion of Khalidi leaving the Chicago Area.[20] The dinner was a celebration of the Chicago area Palestinian community. Obama's remarks alluded to the numerous dinners that he had at the home of the Khalidis.[20]

General Merrill "Tony" McPeak--"Obama's Anti-Israel Campsign Co-Chair"

Hamas--no Obama did not "seek" them out, but they still came out in support of him.
http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com...wants-obama-2/
As far as I can tell Obama has not dispelled this, nor said he didn't want their support. His campaign has only turned around and attacked McCain's camp for bringing it up, but not said it was untrue, or said he did not want their endorsement.
http://blogs.reuters.com/trail08/200...-israel-lobby/
Obama came out as pro Isreal, and blog said he was unendorsed by Hamas. From the blog-
Hamas promply unendorsed Obama, a Christian who has had difficulty dispelling a rumor campaign suggesting he is a Muslim and that his advisers have a pro-Arab bent.

“Obama’s comments have confirmed that there will be no change in the U.S. administration’s foreign policy on the Arab-Israeli conflict,” Hamas official Sami Abu Zuhri told Reuters in Gaza.

“The Democratic and Republican parties support totally the Israeli occupation at the expense of the interests and rights of Arabs and Palestinians,” he said.

“Hamas does not differentiate between the two presidential candidates, Obama and McCain, because their policies regarding the Arab-Israel conflict are the same and are hostile to us, therefore we do have no preference and are not wishing for either of them to win,” Zuhri said.-----

Otis Moss III
Who Is He? - New pastor of Obama's Church. Trinity United Church of Christ (UCC) in Chicago.
What he thinks/has done?
The church describes itself as "unashamedly Black and unapologetically Christian" and embraces what it calls an "Africentric" theology. Believes Wright "brilliant". "There has always been "haters" when it comes to the black church." Believes in Liberation Theology. Believes the "hate" will help them "grow". And that they are following the hand of God. Believes in Social Justice.
Obama's response-

Nation of Islam

ACORN - ACORN's political wing has endorsed Barack Obama for president, but Ben LaBolt, a spokesman for the Obama campaign in Ohio, said ACORN has no role in its get-out-the-vote drive.

During the primary season, however, the Obama camp paid another group, Citizen Service Inc., $832,598 for various political services, according to Federal Elections Commission filings. That group and ACORN share the same board of directors.

Annenburg Challenge - Obama chairman gave out money to ACORN
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wI7pUMbaINIMrs. Annenburg was part of the Reagan Administration. But just because Mrs.Annenburg looks pretty innocent here, doesn't mean this group was. When under the chairmanship of Obama didn't manage funds well IMO.
