Michael Barone – no wild-eyed right-wing partisan he – says yes:     Of Barone’s three points, I think the third one is the most revealing as to Barack Hoover Obama’s thoughts on the matter.  If he didn’t think his……

Which face, Obama?

this has the makings of a campaign ad.

Ayers beat the rap, became a teacher and has an alliance running for President.

Scary Halloween huh ! ! Boo ! !

“‘Say it to my face?’ He must think he’s running for King of the World Wrestling Federation. If that’s his idea of how we should decide who’s going to be President, I’m 74 years old and I’m still pretty sure I could send his pansy ass crying back to his mommy. However, that’s not how we elect Presidents in America, and when he’s actually ready to run for President instead of Chief Bully, he can start by telling us why he LIED about his relationship with Ayers, why he LIED about his relationship with Rev Wright, why he LIED about his relationship with Rashid Khalidi, why he tried to hide an $800,000 payment to an organization that’s being indicted all over the nation for voter fraud, and why he’s so afraid of reporters discussing his roots among Chicago radicals.”

I think it would work, but then, I’m just a keyboard quarterback.

Doesn’t know what was in Obama’s mind but if you put them all together, it paints a really shaky picture of judgement.

I know what exactly was in Obama’s mind and it isn’t bad judgement unless you expect to be President, which he probably didn’t. If you’re a carpetbagger from Harvard and try to make it as a inner city politician, you make inroads with the leftist power brokers like his successor, Ayers, and other “community overseers organizers”. Then you get in with the over the top, popular pastor. Once you start gaining ground, being the talented “community overseer organizer” you are, you start getting friendly with slumlords and seek to consolidate enough money and power to maintain a safe congressional/council/etc. seat. When he made these connections there was no way he knew that he would rise so high so fast, nobody could have seen that coming. I have never seen such a speech that payed such high dividends as his 2004 speech.

They KNOW that, in the eyes of the American voter, an association with an attempted mass-murderer and his wife trumps an association with four swindlers in terms of pure evil.

Again, now and forever, better the Keating Five than the Chicago Seven. Go, Palin/McCain!

Has anyone noticed the number of trolls that come out when the Ayers topic comes up and the number of pages we generate on this topic? When topics about the economy or perhaps Dodd and Frank come up, not so many trolls. ON THIS AYERS THING, the trolls are like roaches coming out of the woodwork and the same goes for other sites as well. Just wondering.

They have to express how little they care because it doesn’t matter because they don’t care.

Keating 5.

And McCain should preempt his question of Ayers at the debate by adding that Obama will probably bring this up and quickly explain this and what he did that was wrong and what he learned from it. Then hit Obama with Ayers and say if this was the only bad judgement he made maybe it could be explained away ,BUT, Rev Wright, Rezco, Acorn…bring it full circle and the judgement question. Doesn’t know what was in Obama’s mind but if you put them all together, it paints a really shaky picture of judgement.

I’m seeing a cage, a black bear, and may the best man win.

This is what we have been reduced to.

HornetSting on October 9, 2008 at 9:21 PM

Uh, bear, just a bear. Don’t want to be called RRRAAACCCIIISSSTTT!

This is what we have been reduced to.

What happens if McCain says it to his face? Is that a threat? Obama’s response can only take place if McCain is within 5 feet?

Ronnie on October 9, 2008 at 3:27 PM

I think there is an option c.

a) OK, maybe. But I’d bet that 75% of the people in the poll didn’t watch the debate. Obama sucked and lied, and we all know that.

b) Eh.

But what about option c)? I think Obama’s scummy campaign thinks they can taunt McCain into a series of direct person attacks on Obama in the next debate, and that they think he’ll look terrible in doing so.

Sounds most likely to me. I think he would need to be very careful in a person to person airing of some of these charges, knowing that the moderator in every event is an activist Democrat, and that the rules and format do not allow for the kind of free-wheeling that would be required to do this right.

I think he should arm himself for a few very clear barrages against Obama, but otherwise keep it close to the vest. In the meanwhile – blast away in every possible forum.

Tom, you silly poseur.

Are you claiming to be unaware that the entire set of files from the CAC/Leftist Orgy of Funding were locked up at UIC until exactly three weeks ago, and remain accessible only under very tight scrutiny to the press, of which 95% are leftist fellow-traverlers quite disinterested in any October surprise of radical findings in Hyde Park?

Are you? No, I don’t believe that you are. Rather, I believe that you are being somewhat disingenuous.
