Obama's Friends

After reading this: http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/years/2009/0723092gates1.html

and hearing Obama claim Gates as one of his friends, I'm beginning to wonder if Obama has any friends (Ayers, Rev. Wright, Tony Rezko, etc.) who aren't total assholes.

As the saying goes, you're known by the company you keep and Obama appears to have very poor taste in friends.
