Obama: The Company He Keeps

Judging a book by its cover is not a good idea. Judging a man by the company he keeps, on the other hand, can give great insight into the man's character. Barack Obama hangs with some real scum bags, as Marathon Pundit points out: Obama has some new friends on Barackbook, including a man frequently blogged about here, Illinois State Senate President Emil Jones. Former Fannie Mae CEO Jim Johnson, who had to step down from the Obama vice presidential vetting panel, has signed up, as has Palestinian activist Rashid Khalidi. He's a Barackbook friend of Bill Ayers. No doubt Tony Rezko would have signed up by now if he hadn't been inconvenienced by a federal court recently.
