Hey {wahabi} - I note from your link about his daughter that she said (after he lost the election to Obama): Still, when I asked Maya whether she is glad her father lost the election, she stopped short. “Should you really be asking that question? I mean, I suppose there is a conflict, but I’m not sure I wanted him to lose. I disagree with nearly all his views, but he’s very honest and has a lot of integrity.”
While I personally regret and am sorry for the family’s situation, that doesn’t sound as if she’s knocking him. And of course, she wanted to be a political activist who disagreed with everything he believes in politically - I honestly don’t see that as much of an indictment of Keyes as a politician.
And frankly, if Ronnie thought enough of him to make him an Ambassador, I think that gives him more props than this family situation.
