Six Degrees of Barack Obama
By Cenk Uygur

The latest right-wing game is to pin controversial figures, who might have said or done anything objectionable at any point in their lifetimes, to Barack Obama. Then make him apologize for them. Then make him denounce and reject them. And then say he hasn't done enough to "distance" himself from them.

It could be his pastor, it could be his neighbor, it could be someone he served on a board with, it could be someone who donated to him, it could be someone who gave him an unsolicited endorsement (Louis Farrakhan) or it can just simply be someone who is black (Harry Belafonte).

So, let's play the six degrees of Barack Obama game and see who else he should denounce and reject. I'll start off the festivities. I'm an easy one. I connect to him in only two degrees. I know Josh Orton, who worked on the online side of his campaign for some time. Bingo. Obama now owns everything I have ever said....for the rest of the article, click here: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/cenk-uygur/six-degrees-of-barack-oba_b_99110.html

My mother jokingly said Barack Obama will be the first presidential candidate who has to take a lie-detector test and a drug test. I think she may be right.
