Martin Luther King is well remembered for his inspiring words, such as the famous delivery of what is now refereed to as "The Dream Speech". An oft quoted portion of this speech is "I have a dream that my four little children will one
day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their
skin, but by the content of their character". These words are indeed very powerful.
That being the case, how would one judge some of the characters who are associated with our President? Look at William Ayers, here is an individual who has not only been guilty of committing terrorism, but is also guilty of embracing it and glorifying it at every opportunity. A member of the infamous 'Weather Underground' in their heyday, Ayers and his wife were active participants in the bombing of the Pentagon and attempting to murder a Federal Judge and his family. Only the fact that the FBI illegally obtained evidence against Ayers has kept him from a lifetime in prison.
Not only is Ayers free - he is unrepentant. He laments the fact that he 'did not do more' as a terrorist. He has been photographed standing on the American flag and has been the on the cover of "Bomb Enthusiast" magazine. Rather than hide in shame as you would expect a notorious criminal free on a technicality to do, Ayers has reveled in his 'celebrity' status.
There is also Van Jones, a man who has spent his lifetime in an apparent attempt to find a home for his political beliefs. He has been at one time a self proclaimed Communist and remains a Socialist with some extreme beliefs. His also signed
a petition for a movement that is typically called "Truthers" for their
beliefs that the events of 9/11 were the result of a conspiracy
involving members of the Bush administration. This was his undoing
insofar as being a member (at least an 'official' member) of the Obama
administration. He remains a very vocal member of the far left and is
associated with many 'green' initiatives that have a distinctly socialist flavor.
What is truly amazing is that given the looming Presidential election, one would think that both Ayers and Jones would be (in deference to their friend in the White House) maintaining a low profile, but strangely such is not the case. It is almost as if President Obama feels that the more distractions from his record, the better his chances for re-election. Why else allow gas prices to skyrocket, or engage in a senseless war of words with Republicans over a non-existent "War on Women"?
It seems rather reminiscent of the "Death of 1,000 Cuts" (a torturous method of killing one's enemies). Is it possible that Obama seeks to create so many 'minor' distractions that focusing on any one of them will waste time better spent elsewhere? Can the shear number of distractions spell doom for any Right Wing Candidate?
Ayers has recently made news for his mingling with
the "Occupy" crowd who seemingly have embraced the terrorist and his
teachings. Still harboring a deep seated hatred of America's military
he has been ranting as of late about the preference that uniformed
military personnel receiving while boarding planes

and he has also made the idiotic comment that "I Get up every morning and think...Today I'm going to end Capitalism"
In so far as Van Jones is concerned, the former White House Czar has also been in the news lately for statements like “I think if President Obama came out as gay, he wouldn't lose the black vote," and "President Obama is not going to lose the black vote no matter what he does.http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2012/04/02/van_jones_obama_wouldnt_lose_the_black_vote_even_if_he_came_out_as_gay.html"
He also has had idiotic remarks too make such as "Occupy saved the entire country from destruction" http://www.theblaze.com/stories/van-jones-occupy-saved-the-entire-country-from-destruction/
Perhaps Team Obama feels that since Ayers was barely a speed bump in the way of Obama's path to the White House and Jones' dismissal from his position as Czar was accomplished with little fanfare, their man in the Oval Office is safe from the scrutiny that he may receive given these associations (Ayers and Van Jones). But is this truly the case? Has America learned nothing and are we determined to once again give the President a pass on his radical associations?
One thing is for certain. You would be remiss to put anything past this administration. The best advice would be to keep a close eye on what the White House does, and a close ear to the ground.
President Obama cannot run on his record. It would be foolish to think that he and his henchmen don't know this. It would also be easy to believe the White House to be inept at campaign politics. But remember, we are talking about Team Obama here. An organization that has gone to any and all lengths to defeat their political opponents and to silence their critics. Whereas they may seem like bumbler's in actually running the country, they are anything but in attaining the positions of power that allow them to do so.
