Okay, if the claim was true, and he spent most of his adult life around such
types, okay, he could be influenced by them. I don't think even the
rhetoricians that craft these memes even really mean to say that Obama spent
most of his life around these types, they are just playing the gotcha game.

But I reject the premise. And that's really what I was pffffft'ing. 

If there is any evidence to the contrary, I'll reconsider. None was offered.
