Just pointing out "associates" Steve. Bucco seems to be hung up on associates of Senator Obama's made years ago or blown out of proportion. Actually forgets to mention that Senator Obama ran against Bobby Rush for Congress in Illinois and lost that election in 2000.

I'm from Chicago, so I clearly remembered how these things played out. hmmmm, yes, the people of Chicago voted Bobby Rush in. hmmmm, associations? Oh yes, did I mention that Bobby Rush was the co-founder of the Black Panthers in Chicago. You all remember the Black Panthers don't you?

Just stating this to show how people do move past some associations, as Bobby Rush did. By the way, Bobby Rush supports Obama now. So?

The William Ayers connection is just ludicrous. Senator Obama was 8 years old when Ayers had anything to do with the Weathermen, a $200 dollar contribution to a re-elect Obama fund and they sat on an eight member Woods Fund board.

BTW, I think is you're going to stoop to "guilt by association" it works both ways.
