He is spinning his past to accentuate the positives and de-accentuate the negatives. Imagine that! It is almost as if he is a professional politician. And he is being cautious knowing that anything he says will be distorted by the right. At worst he is being cagey. But to try to use these associations as proof that Obama is somehow a secret terrorist (which is on many of the emails I get from conservatives) goes against the spirit of truth. His associations are not a big deal and neither are his desire not to get dragged over the coals for working with a diverse group of people. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "authfriend" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "curtisdeltablues" > <curtisdeltablues@> wrote: > > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "Richard J.
