As you grow up the friends you make and hang around with define you. The same can be said about the people that a person surrounds him or herself with as an adult. Barak Obama does not seem to get this.
This man keeps surrounding himself with people with questionable character. If he keeps doing this, it could cost him the election.
The Reverand Wright is a person that is far outside of the mainstream of America. I don't even think that he represents the manstream of african-american religious. You could say the same thing about Father Micheal Phelger. This man gives all self-respective catholic priests a bad name.
Tony Rezko is a totally different issue. This is a man that did many illegal things. He is definitely a part of the corrupt Chicago political machine. As the evidence mounts against him it has force Obama to deny another friend that help him to get elected to the congress in the first place.
In the last week there has been another shady person from Obama's past. It is James Johnson. This is a guy that had shady dealings within the loan industry. Much like Rezko, but in a different way, he is a crook. The problem is that he is helping Obama to look for a vice presidential candidate. If Johnson is as shady as people say that he is, then how can Obam trust his judgement in selecting a man or woman to be his vice president.
If Obama is surrounding himself with these types of character issues in the campaign stage, then what kind of people will he surround himself if he becomes President.
