Barack Obama is a political animal, not the transformational figure he advertises himself to be. He demonstrated in Chicago a willingness to put his good name behind just about anyone, no matter how crooked. Now Obama has formally endorsed Rep. David Scott (D-Ga.), who made CREW's list last year as one of the 18 most corrupt members of the House of Representatives.
As of June, Scott owed approximately $154,000 in back taxes to the IRS, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. He has also come under fire for paying family members and their company $643,000 from his campaign funds — a practice which he stopped after Politico wrote a story on his dealings last May.

Uhh, Joel? I would really appreciate an answer, I'm honestly interested in what you think about Obama's past associations and long history of Marxist leanings. Does it not matter to you, is it irrelevant, do you believe he is "different" now, do you just think financially you will get more from him than McCain? I want to understand what the thought process is in evaluating all this information and still backing him? A lot of seemingly intelligent people endorse him, and I find it completely baffling (except when there is potential personal gain, like Colin Powell- who I still respect). It's like having a math professor add 2+2 and get 8 for the answer. I'm serious, I don't get it, I'm not messing with you here, I'm trying to understand his followers mindset.
