Question for Barack Obama - Advisors

Senator Obama, there has been media scrutiny lately of one of your former advisers, Robert Malley. He was one of hundreds of advisers to your campaign, the vast majority of whose names have never been released. You have been in the Senate for just a few years, and that's something that's making a lot of people see the issue of who is advising you on foreign policy, the economy, and other matters as being of great importance. So, here's my question: Just who is advising you as part of your presidential campaign? And if you won't release all of their names, why won't you? And don't you think as a candidate who says that openness and transparency are important that you should?

Do you know who John Mccain's advisors are? You people will stop at nothing, but in the end I don't think its going to matter. John Mccain is just too old and getter older by the day. If he become President, his advisors will be running the Country.

Wow.  This your first campaign? Advisor positions have political significance tied to the campaign and are sorted out through a complicated process (endorsements, alignments in Congress and the party, ya know POLITICS).

So, yes, this is a douchebag question.

The pool of advisors Obama has at his disposal is likely strong Democrats that have advised other Democrats in the past. Their ideas on foreign policy and other issues you seem to think Obama doesn't understand are probably less paranoid than Dubyas. Lame question.

Meridianfrost-What was that rambling about??? Did you listen to the video before commenting. Please try to reply to the comment presented instead of going on about "sentiment and humanity". It will be a sad day indeed when "sentiment and humanity" win out over common sense and hard work. The United States will then join the other great civilizations that became the source of their own demise.

Lol. advisers? You guys will do anything to make obama an anti-semitic, Hitler loving, racist, terrorist sympathizing, taliban loving, anti - american IV drug user. It's really very pathetic. The GOP shouldnt even have a candidate in this election. Just go sit in the corner and sulk about how sentiment and humanity will rule the day instead of your precious treasure. Lol. Advisers. Are you friggin kidding me?
