A question for the president-elect

Can Barack Obama name one leader who guided him during his rise to power in Chicago who isn’t corrupt, criminal or hopelessly cracked?

That’s some neighborhood. Of his close political friends, who are the morally sound and mentally straight ones? Name one.

In a sense, I have to defend the guy here. There's really nobody he could have worked with and risen to power by without them having been corrupt.

Yet compare the deeds of Harry Truman who repudiated and rejected his old cronies, and Obama who tries to defend them and lies about his ties to them.

He might have been unable to avoid the corrupt connections, but he is handling them about as poorly as possible.
