In his book Obama says he moved to Chicago to get into community organizing and said the community organizing scene was gridlocked with bureaucracy and apathy, so he joined the local church and started hanging out with Jeremiah Wright, an important community leader there. I think these guys were all stepping stones for him. I think his lack of parents at a young age along with being one of 3 black kids at an all-Asian school and being raised by white racist grandparents left him emotionally/spiritually empty, and he could only fill this vacuum with POWER, and he stormed his way to the top super fast. He'll be our 4th youngest president (only 15 days older than Bill Clinton). Luckily, like Steven said, he's also really smart and pragmatic, so he's kind of the opposite of Bush, which is exactly what we need.
I don't know why people expect Obama to have either refused to work with Ayers or to have flipped out and tried to get Ayers fired so he could work without him. What would you guys have done in his shoes if offered that position? If any of you have ever worked on a similar board, have you quit because you didn't like somebody's past? If I was Obama, I would've worked with him, and then I'd become president and forget about him.
Besides, many politicians are inspired by evil people, and they still get elected. Schwarzaneggar has called Hitler a role model before, and he still got elected.
