Obama's Connection with the Radical Left

As with most human beings, coming to any real understanding of the meaning of all Obama's associations is very complex at best.  That said, I'll tell you how I interpret Obama's numerous ties to the far and radical left.  Clearly these various ties to individuals and organizations from Bill Ayers to Rev. Wright to ACORN and the New Party were part of an environment he chose to become a part of, and also was clearly the source of his early political career and support.  Chicago and its politics are drenched in liberalism.  What's harder to access is what Obama really deep down believes - I believe he has made himself quite opaque in this regard.  We know what he says, and that's about it.  We have his words, but little if any past specific action to prove them.  

Sure if he were elected I would hope for the best.  But the question we have before us is the estimation of what we believe either of the two candidates would do if elected.  Obama's rise from the radical left pond of Chicago politics and his voting record to date both in the Illinois senate and the U.S. Senate, are not a source of comfort to me.
