Obama didn''t know that Ayers was an American Terrorist. When Ayers went to trial it was in 1980, Obama would have been 18 years old. There is no way he would not have known about Ayers. That trial was in the news and I''m sure people in Obamas circle of friends knew and would have told him. He and his campaign sure know how to lie.

We can see what a great success funding the contras and meddling in Latin American countries was. Today we have leftist/unfriendly governments in Nicaragua, Bolivia, Ecuador, and Venezuela; Argentina, Brazil, and Chile are doing as they please without Yankee "guidance," and "stabilization" plans. In other countries leaders are very vigilant about Republican administration schemes. I guess we haven''t even heard about them, YET!

Obama has been in the national spotlight for a couple of years now...if you know nothing about him, then clearly it is you who are in the dark. His biography is easily accessible, as are two books HE WROTE HIMSELF! Imagine that...a politician who can actually write! As far as his qualifications are concerned, you are right...he is a relative rooky. but, so what? Do you expect every great leader to have been born experienced? Obama is thoughtful, generous, intelligent and pragmatic. His judgment is sound and his actions deliberate. McCain on the other hand is well connected, this is true, but to what? He has a history laced with scandal and flaring temperament. The man called a timeout on his campaign for heavens sake for absolutely no appreciable reason!! He is a grandstanding, mudslinging bully...and as his first presidential decision his choice for VP is...(drumroll) Sarah Palin!! The Alaskan barracuda lipstick wearing bulldog. And, in one fell swoop he undermined his entire message about Obama''s lacking experience. This country has been kicking it''s own a$$ long enough...we don''t need a leader prone to self destruction.

Posted by jockh John McCain hates America and supports greedy bankers like Keating who robbed billions from the American public.-----------------------------------------------------------------
Are you aware of the fact that only the Democrat''s were found guilty in the Keating case? John McCain and John Glenn were found not guilty.

The Iran-Contra affair was an effort to thwart the spread of communism in the western hemisphere. Although denounced by leftists in the US press it was successful. It was seen by many as a good way to resolve a mess in Iran which the Carter administration had got into and aiding anti-communist forces in Central America at the same time.
George Soros is a leftist political organizer and strategist.

The messiah has many assoication TODAY and in the recent past that should raise red flags. I understand his friend rezko is going to do some talking. Should be interesting.
And again, this about mccain is just coming out?? Guess bringing up the keating 5 (4 dems 1 cleared mccain) isn''''t enough??

NONE of this is going to matter... absolutely NONE of it. People are concerned about ONE thing and ONE thing only, the ECONOMY! They are LIVING with a LOSER of a President who was elected with this Personal Attack approach and NO ONE that I have talked to cares in the least about this mud slinging.

Oh yea, the messiah was "roughly 8 years old" when ayers did his terror stuff BUT, the messiah was an adult when ayers stated that he wished he had done better and MORE. Ayers never denounced his actions and today remains a radical. So, the piece is a bit slanted, surprise, surprise.

You media types are such good shills for the messiah. I bet soros is working overtime to get this cr*& out.
And here a lot of us thought the October surprise was the economy meltdown/.
So, this is just ooming out NOW. Funny when mccain ran four years ago and we didn''t hear this. Just ooming out now, strange.
