These bother me more because they are not isolated, they are taken together to make me concerned about what is really going on in his head:
His failure to give any credit as role models to his WHITE grandparents, while he idealized his father who had abandoned him, his sister and his mother. (I am also troubled by his failure to include his sister when he talks about how he was the center of his mother's life).
His relationship with William (Billy) Ayres (a convicted terrorist bomber) with whom Obama served with the Woods Fund, hosted "meet the candidate dinners for Obama in the 90's, etc.
His 20 years at the Trinity Church wtih Jeremiah Wright and then saying he did not know about Wright's hate America speeches, and had not in 20 years heard them. DVD's obtained from the churches own bookstore show that this was not a recent turn for him, but had been a regluar topic for some years.
The fact that he has been reported to have the #1 most liberal voting record in the Senate (left of Hillary, left of Kennedy).
Michelle Obama's public statement in February 2008, told a Milwaukee, Wisconsin, crowd, "For the first time in my adult life, I am really proud of my country."
One LIBERAL columnest responded to her by asking:
