Why do wise people say be careful who your friends are....who are Barack Obama's friends?

[wattekinson86]

I only listen to Jesus, who I think was the wisest person who ever lived. He tried to be friends with everyone, especially sinners. Only fools try to judge a man solely on who his friends are.

They appear to have done nothing for Chicago

Yes....Libs are Libs, what can I say? Nobody thought it important during the campaign.

Birds of the same feather flock together.

Was there a point to this? You forgot the good Reverend Wright...

Obama has a lot of friends who went on to be bankers financiers

[eliot]

ya, you're known by the company you keep.

Those are the ppl that YOU think are his friends. An ASSUMPTION.

As a WISE person would say when you ASSUME you make a *** (out of) U (&) ME.

Another thing, WHO, do you think is WISE? That is the real question.

YOU left out REV WRIGHT -who OBAMA said i never ever heard him say any anti racist or USA remarks ,being in his church and his close mentor and friend for over 20 years,believe that then i will sell you the Brooklyn bridge.

Barack Obama has 70 million friends. That's why he's our President now. Your President, too.

And while most of the people you've cited are not his friends, I'd rather have Laurence Tribe as a friend than a lot of the people who are now attacking the President. Tribe should have been on the Supreme Court.

Because some times you become friends with someone who little known to you is a snake in the grass ! There is an old saying...keep your friends close but keep your enemies closer (truer words were never spoken).I fully expect to get many thumbs down for this one.
