Just a question on what life really is about in USA.

Early in the 2008 presidential campaign, Mr. Obama's aides viewed any partnership with Mr. Al Sharpton as potentially damaging. Mr. Obama personally took steps to head off a likely visit by Mr. Sharpton to Iowa before that state's caucuses, according to the book "The Audacity to Win," by David Plouffe, Mr. Obama's campaign manager. Mr. Sharpton said that Mr. Obama called him personally about the trip to heavily white Iowa but did not directly dissuade him from going. He said he decided on his own not to visit the state: "I didn't want him to lose because of me." ...Later events would confirm that Mr. Obama was right to be cautious about race. He was forced to denounce racially charged and anti-American comments by his longtime pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr., who, unlike Mr. Sharpton, refused to heed the campaign's desire that he disappear from view. But Sharpton is out of the Obama closet: Now, Mr. Sharpton's visits to the White House are announced to the public. Last month, he addressed reporters in the White House driveway after an Oval Office meeting with other black leaders to press the president on jobs. At a White House Christmas party for liberal activists, Mr. Obama went out of his way in welcoming remarks to point out that "Reverend Al" was in attendance, say two participants. Guests to Mr. Sharpton's radio program have included Jared Bernstein, chief economic adviser to Vice President Joseph Biden, and Education Secretary Arne Duncan. Mr. Sharpton's advocacy group, the National Action Network, will feature Mr. Duncan and Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius at its annual conference next month, according to Mr. Sharpton's office. Mr. Biden spoke last year. White House officials declined to discuss the specifics of their interactions with Mr. Sharpton. In an email, White House spokesman Corey Ealons described Mr. Sharpton as "one of many leaders we continue to speak with on the issues of the day." I am not aware of many other Presidents who would publicly associate with a murderer and professional bigot like Reverend Al. Like his hiring of the likes of Jones and Sunstein, his partnership with Al Sharpton not only desecrates the high office of president of the United States, but makes one wonder what Barack Obama's real goals are. This was written by a friend of mine in his newsletter. Contact me if you'd like to subscribe, I'll send you a link. In the meantime, knowing as we do that Al Sharpton lied to Americans when he said he had proof that two white members of law enforcement viciously raped a black teenage girl (remember Tawana Brawley?)...help me understand why it's ok for Obama to be even talking to this guy?
