@MICKI
Are you serious? Are you suggesting that each and every person you have volunteered or worked with over the course of your adult life has values, and only those values, that YOU PERSONALLY ESPOUSE?
You're either a hypocrite or in total denial. Obama was questioned about people who he either knew as an acquaintence or as a religious pastor. People all across the United States attend churces where they disagree with some of what their pastor or priest says. That's why this issue died out...until Stephanopolous saw fit to revive it for precious minutes on national TV.
And as for the Ayers question, nothing more or less than a smear tactic. Barack Obama knows the man as a colleague on a board, a neighbor. Is there any evidence that he supports in any way, shape or form this man's behavior 4 decades ago?
The bottom line is always this: A black man is suspect in this sad nation and can always be labelled a traitor if, heaven forbid, he bucks the system. Obama has excelled despite his disadvantaged circumstances and he would, right now as we speak, be embraced with both arms by the Clintons if he had just waited his turn (if that ever came.) Obama doesn't play that game so well, so I guess he had to be taught a lesson.
That said, who wants to bet that Hillary STILL loses the nomination? And what will she have achieved? The real possibility of 4 more years of Bush/Cheney politics. She should also be very careful. Her job in New York may not be too secure at the rate she's going.
