The crazy uncles in Obama's attic

Will the black nationalists and white lefties who pushed Obama up the political ladder in Chicago prove to be a liability to his White House run?

    Strange Cult

    All of Barack Obama's "virtues" have been shown to be illusions, yet his followers still follow.

    The post-racial candidate's history as an enthusiastic member of Wright's racist church is as racial and divisive as anyone can get.

    The ethical candidate let a slumlord buy him a house.

    The principled candidate has a paper trail of wrong button pushes and "present" votes.

    The unifier has a wife that hates America except during those times in which her husband is a presidential candidate.

    Yet BO's followers still follow.

    Fascinating and more than a little weird.
