The Question of Affiliation

Wow! Lots of concern over Obama's relationship with Reverend Wright. What do Americans believe about affiliations? Do Americans believe that if you are closely affiliated with someone whose actions are questionable, then you are just as questionable?

Ok, let's go with that thought......

Who is Hilliary Clinton closest to? Most of us would say Bill, right?

Ok, let's look at Bill and use him a a beacon for our view of Hillary's judgement:

-Impeached former President

-Lewinski sex scandal (about which he lied to us, the American public)

-Paula Corbin Jones lawsuit and sex scandal

-The questionable pardoning of Marc Rich, the international commodities trader who fled the US in 1983 to live in Switzerland while being prosecuted on charges of tax evasion and illegally making oil deals with Iran during the hostage crisis. Remember, after Rich's wife made several large donations to the Clintons -and just before Clinton left office, he pardoned Rich. Hmmmmm. Remember?

-And, let's not forget about the Clintons being caught stealing the White House furnishings and US artifacts upon their departure from the White House - and being required to return them. Link below to the Times article on that mess.
