Andrew, lets be honest here. When the Obama campaign first floated that “but Bill Clinton met Rev. Wright and even took a picture with him” baloon it was insulting. To try to equate what has been self-described as a formative relationship that spanned decades with a meet-and-greet and photo-op including several other ministers either displays a contempt for the intelligence of the public or is indicative of a complete lack of understanding of what a true personal relationship is. Which is your excuse for trying to sell this lemon?
And trying to defend what you perceive as “guilt by association” involving Sen. Obama and Ayers by dragging out the Bush-Bin Ladin dead horse is laughably hypocritical. “Don’t judge Obama simply because he is on social terms with an un-repentant terrorist wannabe but by all means judge Bush because he and his family had business dealings with members of the Bin Ladin family, one of which just happens to be the notorious UBL.” If I had to make a judgement call, I’d say the Obama-Ayers one degree of separation beats the Bush-UBL minimum of two degrees.
