Name-Dropping

William Ayers and his wife Bernadine Dohrn stood trial for murder and for blowing up federal buildings back in the 1970s. Dohrn was convicted but before Ayers could receive a sentence, the feds dropped the case.

Both Ayers and Dohrn have stated publicly that they wish they had done more as part of the subversive, domestic terrorist group 'Weather Underground,' although people died and government buildings were bombed.

Barack Obama has denied knowing about Ayers, yet his closest friend and political operative, Valerie Jarrett, is close friends with Ayers and Dohrn. Obama has described his relationship with Jarrett as being 'like a sister.'

Jim Jones helps run Apollo. Jones was also part of the Weather Underground. Jones helped write the stimulus package for Obama and Congressional Democrats.

Vann Jones, the disgrace self-avowed Communist who recently resigned as Obama's 'green jobs czar' is also part of the Apollo group.

My point? Does Barack Obama have any friends, close associates, or political allies who are not shady characters who have been involved in dangerous, illegal activities? And how can anyone say with a straight face that after all of these years of close associations with these thugs Obama has remained clean as snow falling from heaven?
