RealClearPolitics - Articles - Irrelevant Apologies

Quote:
For any politician, what matters is not his election year rhetoric, or an election year resignation from a church, but the track record of that politician in the years before the election.
Quote:
Despite clever spin from Obama's supporters about avoiding "guilt by association," much more is involved than casual association with people like Jeremiah Wright and Father Pfleger
Quote:
Are Barack Obama's views shown by what he says during an election year or by what he has been doing for decades before?

The complete contrast between Obama's election year image as a healer of divisions and his whole career of promoting far-left grievance politics, in association with America-haters like Jeremiah Wright and Bill Ayers, are brushed aside by his supporters who talk about getting back to "the real issues."
Quote:
There is nothing more real than a man's character and values. The track record of what he has actually done is far more real than anything he says, however elegantly he says it.

"guilt by association", "back to the real issues". Sound familiar, Obamatons?

Love this guy. A conservative black man.

Or for that matter, how gruffly he says it.

I wonder what the results would be if we took a poll of Harvard MBAs on whom they'd support for President?

As usual, the Obamatons have nothing but deflection and excuses in the face of logic, reason and intelligence.
