If one confines oneself to looking at Wright, Rezko, and Ayers and Dohrn, you have enough to be concerned about. All long term friendships and associations with radicals involving the distribution of significant funds.

But I draw the line at digging way too deep into stuff like how Obama financed his Harvard education, or whether Obama had Muslim roommates, etc. That kind of stuff really shouldn't matter to a rational voter, and irrational voters (e.g. racist) will just find any excuse to vote one way or the other. Just as there is nothing about McCain's life we SHOULDN'T know (and there is nothing, I would say, that we DON'T) there should not be anything in Obama's. The man is running for the highest office in the land with the thinnest resume of any candidate in the last 100 years. How he financed his education, particularly given that he has lied about it (and we know for a fact he has), is a relevant point. It isn't "racist"; that's bullshit. It is just due diligence. If he made his to get through Harvard by dealing drugs I want to know it even though it is 15 or 20 years ago.
