Obama dismisses his association with radical, unrepentant terrorist William Ayers lightly, saying he was 8 when Ayers bombed the Pentagon! Yet Obama surely found something worth building a relationship with Ayers over, otherwise he wouldn't have delivered hundreds of thousands of dollars to his CAC educational foundation; I guess this foundation is an example of the reformed Ayers, but it is a leftist foundation that inculcates the poor recipients with the anti-American evils of Ayer's dark mind; it also isn't something Ayers has personally contributed his own money towards! I mean the guy has to have a job, so why not do something at the expense of taxpayers and blind sheep donators, so you can spread the ugliness of your soul legally, instead of blowing federal buildings up? To willingly associate with and support someone who is so obviously and blatantly anti-American, when you are running for the presidency, is a pretty ugly scar to have on your history; to ignore it is to just plain absurd. Perhaps it doesn't say everything about what Obama is, but it certainly says a lot about what he has been, just as the Rev. Wright deal did. Obama's handlers will also dismiss this as being negative tactics that have nothing to do with Obama's looking forward vision -- which is just a lot of meaningless blather, since that is precisely what they are paid to do! Just imagine if those who are paid to say things that promote him, said yes, they thought he should be taken to task for his ugly relationships of the past? There's not really a direction you can look for any tangible proof of Obama's positive output in this election; his rhetoric is shallow, though lofty; his history is a lesson in how to rise in politics, and how to do so with associating with unsavory people. Ayers and Wright have to mean something.
