A valid candidate preference test: "You are known by the company you keep."

I would not want to have anything to do with the infamous company Mr. Obama keeps. Many are anti-American, racist radicals with strong Socialist/Communist predispositions.

Please spare us a President who has kept that sort of company for the majority of his adult life - and yes, his parents and relatives ARE important. They influenced him during all of his PRE-adult life. Be careful not to be so dismissive of these facts.
