If you are wondering why there is so much uproar about Barack Obama's associations with terrorists and racist hate-mongers, it's because his willingness to associate with people like that speak directly to his character. How important is character? Take a look at what a couple of the giants of American history thought about it:
"It is the manners and spirit of a people which preserve a republic in vigor. A degeneracy in these is a canker which soon eats to the heart of its laws and constitution."
-- Thomas Jefferson --
"Your love of liberty - your respect for the laws - your habits of industry - and your practice of the moral and religious obligations, are the strongest claims to national and individual happiness."
-- George Washington --
