Obama Needs to Explain His Ties to William Ayers

Excellent piece. Certainly adds to the rather threadbare tapestry that is Obama in the public domain. Anyone who's ever spent any serious time in Chicago knows this is how it works. Its as corrupt as New Orleans (always had a Jackson paperclipped to my drivers license). Obama's clearly lacking in judgement, which is not a good character trait in a presidential candidate. The more we learn about Barry, the move obvious it becomes: Nobama in '08.

"...you want the Ayers thing to make a big splash. Only, it won't."
Maybe that's true.
On the other hand, with little-known Senator Obama as the Dem standard bearer it seems prudent to get things out in the open.

Barone sullies himself by using the old guilt by association argument. The world is passing him by. He's out of touch, just like McCain. No wonder he'll never be the Dean of American Politics.

Don't forget Mr. Ayers wonderful wife, Bernadette Dohrn.

Yes, I've notice that this is the second time you've brought this up. You've obviously put your weekend to it and you want the Ayers thing to make a big splash. Only, it won't. Please get the message.
"It's the Economy, stupid!"
That's right: I don't care if he was a Black Panther in bed with Nixon before joining the thug life and firing off 9 millimeters in the air with Tu Pac hanging out of the passenger side window. I don't care if he's had five hundred women, or one. I don't care if he's had five hundred men, or none. None of us do. All we really care about is the American Economy and $4 a gallon. That's it. You can keep the rest, because it doesn't pay the electricity bill.
