Guilt by association?

Bgates, a wag who posts at Just One Minute, detailed the prominent Dems under a cloud for corrupt actions and concludes:
Probably somebody will want to put Obama on my list, but I've explained before it's just guilt by association to associate Obama with associates of his who are guilty of crimes, or try to smear Obama with his statements and actions. Can't we just give him a chance? (To be followed shortly by "it's important at this critical time to unite behind the President", and then "history will be the judge", and I hope "as a gesture of reconciliation President Palin should pardon Obama or commute his sentence to time served.")
I have a feeling he's right, and we can all save a lot of time in the coming months re-reading this and ignoring the talking head shows on tv.
