Given Obama’s two decades association with Jeremiah Wright who traveled to Libya with Farrokhan, and his 13 year association with an admitted terrorist Bill Ayers, and various organizations with revolutionary philosophies, can he get a high enough security clearance to be President?

Sep 25, 2008 - 1:31 am 2. Jeff:

People, here are the facts about Barack Obama and William Ayers—

1) When William Ayers was a radical leftist who co-founded the Weatherman, committed heinous terrorist acts against the United States Capitol building and the Pentagon, his radical history was between 1968-1972. Here is his life story in Wikipedia below —

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Ayers

2) Between 1968-1972, Barack Obama was between ages 7-11 years old and did NOT know William Ayers. He was TOO YOUNG. Here is his life story in Wikipedia below —

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_Obama

3) Obama did not meet Ayers until 1995, 23 years after Ayers radical history. Obama was introduced to Ayers by Illinois State Senator Alice Palmer, as her chosen successor since she is stepping down from the Illinois state senate and running for Congress. Here is the story of the meeting in the link below —

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0208/8630.html

In closing, all these propagandas are false. Obama did not meet Ayers until 1995, as they ALL want to make people believe. Please do your own research before believing these propagandas. Obama’s proposal of “Change” for the better is a HUGE threat to some people. They are incapable of “Change” or even the slightest chance of accepting it. So here is my wisdom for everyone –

***Conservatism is the tired old need to hang on to the past while liberalism is a need for change for a brighter future.***

As an added note, if Obama had even the slightest chance of establishing a bad alliance with Ayers, with any bad intentions or motives toward America, the Feds would be on to him quicker than anyone could blink an eye, less allowed him to even run for the Presidency. Why has the Feds not looked into any of this? The answer is that there is no evidence of any wrongdoing. You cannot persecute someone merely by association. Should we condemn and persecute all the family members of the likes of Ted Bundy, David Berkowitz, Charles Manson, John Wayne Gacy, etc.? These family members are all associated with these serial killers but are they evil?

Thanks for the article, Ms. Feldman.

Association with he likes of Ayers an Dohrn should be a disqualifying factor in and of itself.

Then again so should Obama’s association with Rev. Wright.

These are people who wish to harm to America, plain and simple.

“In closing, all these propagandas are false. ”

Hey Jeff what we have here is a guy who managed a project using $150 million of other people’s money ostensibly to help Chicago kids succeed academically. Instead he does a bait and switch, as the money was used to try to RADICALIZE the students to prepare for a “revolution”. The fact that academic performance was not improved is evidence. And you want this Marxist guy to be president.

Thanks Obamamaniac for the puff.

The truth is they have a close relationship. This would not be dissimilar from a presidential candidate having a close relationship with someone like Tim McVeigh, the Oklahoma City bomber; or the Unibomber.

Ayers is so close to Obama that he has babysat his kids.

Wow, Jeff uses wikipedia as a source of facts? Interesting, considering wikipedia isn’t exactly considered all the accurate about contreversial junk. Maybe you want to use Debka file whilst you’re at it?

Where’s the wikipedia page about how Reverend Wright was misquoted for 20 years and totes didn’t say all that bigoted junk about white folks? Or his church didn’t publish a screed against Israel by a member of Hamas?

Come on, baby, keep defending the defenseless.

Sep 25, 2008 - 5:22 am 10. Bill in New York:

So Ayers was a “community organizer” and a “communist with a small c” whatever the hell that is supposed mean… and Barry was a “community organizer” in bed with the same crowd. That’s pretty damning evidence if I say so myself… I don’t think I want a “communist with a small c” for President of the USA, no matter how old Barry was when Ayers was blowing up bombs.

Sep 25, 2008 - 5:25 am 11. cfbleachers:

Sen. Obama has a relationship with Frank Marshall Davis, with radical professors at college, with Nation of Islam staffers, with Jeremiah Wright, with Ayers and Dorhn…all of which point to a very consistent upbringing by a radical mom…and inheriting an influence from a hard leftist …but often absent, father.

Sen. Obama plays peek-a-boo with these connections, alternatively “disclosing” them and yet burying them at the same time. “Frank” was a shadowy character who received no last name in one of the books that mentioned him, although his radical undertones resonate clearly with the young Obama.

Moreover, Sen. Obama SEEKS OUT the most radical professors at college and SEEKS OUT the inflammatory and venomous Wright…and cleaves to them…most especially Wright, as a guiding light, a mentor, a father figure. Obama’s pathway through his life is not as an accidental/incidental flirtation with hard left, raging radical politics.

Rather, it is clearly designed to embrace it. Ayers and Dorhn are no accident. They are not merely “neighbors” that Sen. Obama knows casually. They are kindred spirits that Sen. Obama knows intimately. Ayers and Dorhn hold a fundraiser for Obama at their house, he serves on boards with Ayers, Dorhn worked at Sidley & Austin with Michelle and the Senator.

To suggest that Sen. Obama did not know fully who Ayers is and was, what he stood for and his intentions related to attacking the government from within, is to not pass the smell test.

Sen. Obama knew who Rev. Wright is and was, knew the connection to Minister Farrakhan and knew the incendiary rage and hatred for this country that spewed from the pulpit each week. He also knows and knew who Dorhn and Ayers were, what they had done, and what they stood for and against.

Sen. Obama knows who Brzyzinski is, knows who O’Malley is, (and his parents), knows who Tony McPeak is, knows who Samantha Power is, knows who Anthony Lake is, knows who Susan Rice is, knows who Ali Abunimah is, knows who Tony Rezko is and was, knows who Frank Marshall Davis was, knows who Edward Said was ….and it doesn’t take much dot connecting to understand the pathway of his politics.

Sen. Obama has a very open ear to fringe hard leftist notions and a very open ear for strong anti-Israel sentiments.

To suggest that he will act on them, is to go too far. We simply don’t know. To suggest that they don’t exist …or to pretend that these relationships are not important…well that is a canard best left to our Deadwood Propagandist information stream rapists…known in some quarters as the “mainstream” media. If that is our main stream, however, I wouldnt’ drink from it. It’s not merely polluted with lies of omission and comission…it’s a toxic waste dump of intentional deceit.

Sep 25, 2008 - 5:31 am 12. Ciscokid:

Stanley Kurtz’s research into the Chicago Annenberg Challenge raises many questions that must be answered. #1, the e-mail that Kurtz obtained through the freedom of information act from CAC executive director Ken Rolling, raises the question of why would Ken “avoid the question” of who picked Obama? Why not just answer saying I believe it was Leff & Joyce who picked him? It’s always the cover up that opens the can of worms (questions) of why Ken Rolling, on the same day Stanley Kurtz requested access to the Annenberg files, claimed he was the donor (a status that he never held) and told the UIC library he never received a certificate of gift, therefore the files cannot be open to the public. Ken’s got some explaining to do.

Sep 25, 2008 - 5:43 am 13. fred:

Notice how quickly the Obama trolls jump on articles in the blog world about CAC? This reportage is a real threat to Obama’s candidacy, which is why the general public will not be exposed to it until after he’s won the election and taken office January.

What do you suppose those Brownshirt Brigades (community service and organizers cadres that he and Michelle Obama gush about)who will be spreading communism on our dime are going to be doing? He intends to dramatically bulk up this program while simultaneously putting DoD on a very substantial diet.

Get ready for change, and you’re not gonna like it.

Sep 25, 2008 - 6:16 am 16. 888:

Jeff, whether Obama met Ayers in ‘88 or ‘95 doesn’t matter. The fact is, they met and became buddies, so much so that Ayers even held a fundraising event for Obama right in his own home. Again, if Obama wins, he will be the first U.S. President in history to have been friends with, and have as a mentor, an unrepentant terrorist who planned to bomb the Pentagon and kill U.S. military members. No wonder Obama skipped the meeting with wounded soldiers in Landstuhl during his world tour. Just like his friend and mentor, Ayers, Obama doesn’t care about military members. To have him as our next Commander in Chief is disgraceful.

Sep 25, 2008 - 6:24 am 17. Rotwang:

Kurtz really didn’t uncover dick, did he? Every politician in Chicago has had to interact with Ayers or his father, who are fixtures in the political firmament. And imagine my shock that an American inner-city school system was pushing “pride” initiatives and community activism in an attempt to motivate students and create an alternative to delinquency and gang identity.

It amazes me this sort of shit threatens anyone. Then again, I forget I’m dealing with corn-fed Americans who probably believe the Federal Highway System is a Socialist conspiracy, and think that Communism is a form of government.

Party on.

Sep 25, 2008 - 6:25 am 18. TomJW:

Jeff, I believe you. I think you’re right that hussein was pretty much too damn stupid to understand that Ayers was a former terrorist and did nothing to educate school children. I also believe the ‘zero’ when he insinuated he was too damn stupid to understand Reverend Wright was spouting racist crap for 20 years in church, even when Wright became his spiritual mentor.

Also leading me to believe the NObama is too damn stupid to be president. Either that or you and he are lying and Hussein is a Soros funded communist out to destroy America.

Sep 25, 2008 - 6:44 am 19. Therese:

To me, this Ayers relationship alone disqualifies Obama to be President. Then you add Rev. Wright, his wife, Tony Rezko all the Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac folks and you’ve got one despicable Presidential candidate.

Even if Ayers wasn’t a terrorist, the fact that Obama led an organization that basically “wasted $160 million” because it didn’t accomplish any of its educational goals is concerning, too. How much of the taxpayer money will he waste once he is President?

There are none so blind as those who will not see. For those of us that are concerned about handing the reins of power over to someone that has so many radical associations, we can see that this man is bad news. For those that just have blind hatred for republicans, it doesn’t really matter what you tell them, because it doesn’t really matter to them. They care more for their party then they do for the good of the country.

I, for one, could care less if a republican or a democrat wins. I look at both candidates to see who is the better qualified. Obama is simply a disaster waiting to happen.

Sep 25, 2008 - 8:01 am 27. Ciscokid:

Hey Rotwang. If Ayers is so main stream in Chicago, why did Ken Rolling claim to be the donor in an attempt to block Stanley Kurtz and others from the Annenberg files? What was Ken so afraid of if there’s not “dick” to be found? Why was the Annenberg Challenge deemed unsuccessful, after spending an estimated 160 million to improve education in Chicago i.e in an attempt to motivate students and create an alternative to delinquency and “gang identity”.

Where are the stats showing gang activity is less now after the Chicago Annenberg Challenge?

Chicago Tribune – Murder rate in Chicago up 18 percent over 7-month period of 2007:
Monique Bond, a spokeswoman for the Chicago Police Department, said the latest numbers were only preliminary. But some of the “increase” could be due to “gang fights” over turf, she said. The “majority” of “homicides” in Chicago are “gang-related” with high percentages of offenders and victims having criminal histories, Bond said.
“The department’s been focusing on targeting gang hierarchies, which have been dismantled over an extended period of time,” she said. “[That's] causing gangs to now operate in smaller crews that compete against each other for narcotic turf, which leads to deadly violence.” Bond said the department is working on developing gang-fighting strategies to try to dismantle the smaller, younger and more fractionalized gangs. “Law enforcement is having to adapt to that and looking at different kinds of ways that are outside the traditional ways that we’ve been using to attack gang violence,” she said.

Why didn’t they ask Ayers if he could help them,(since he’s so main stream) seeing how he has such a grasp on how to combat the gang problem?

re: Jeff

In the end no one is fully qualified to be president. So the election is about ideas, judgment and character.

Obama fails in judgment for his close association with Ayers and all the rest of the radicals he chose to be his friends and associates.

Obama fails in character due to his clear thin skinned “how dare you criticise me” attitude and race baiting.

Obama fails in the marketplace of ideas for attempting to push the same old tired marxist nonesense as change.

Sep 25, 2008 - 8:10 am 29. hippie_chucker:

Rotwang,

The entire point, which you miss as a liberal, is that actively working with a terrorist shows extraordinarily poor judgment-much the same as Ayer’s construction of a nail bomb destined for a dance at Ft. Dix did. While trying to kill cops and soldiers is permissible in your circle of friends, it’s not, in ours!

No one, outside of liberal academic circles, would be in the same room as this monster, much less put the time in that Obama did.
As far as your glee at “pride” initiatives, you do realize that after spending all those millions, there was NO increase in grades in these kids?
And that there were more people killed in Barack’s Senate district last month than in Iraq-a war zone?

Sep 25, 2008 - 8:14 am 30. fred:

I just find it appalling that our next president is going to be a man who hates the military, much of our history, associates with criminals and terrorists, had a Communist mentor when he was in high school, both of his fathers were Communists, and his mother was some version of a Marxist. What do you suppose is hard wired into his brain? Also, there is his preference in college for Marxist professors. I don’t even want to get into the Jeremiah Wright and Fr. Rezko thing, it just gets worse and worse.

He would never, if he applied for a job at the Justice Department, State Department, Defense Department, or the CIA (hell, I don’t think they’d even interview him!) obtain a security clearance. The background check would turn up at least some of these things. And most Americans would want this man to guard us against the likes of the Mullahs in Tehran, Kim Jong Mentally Ill, Vladimir Putin, and Mambo Chimp Chavez in Venezuela? LMAO!!

Our education system, from kindergarten through the universities, is a massive failure. The nation has spent trillions that have been stolen by the NEA and the fraud it has perpetrated on the nation. And Brown University and the Chicago Annenberg Challenge is Exhibit you-pick-the-letter-and-number in the chain of damning evidence.

I just hope and pray that the nation can somehow survive the next four years. The shock to the idiots who vote for this man should be sufficient to peel some of them away to vote for real change. And it’s too bad it has to happen this way, because Obama’s advisers are a pathetic bunch of losers and retreads who will cost the lives of millions of human beings abroad and here. Iran cannot be deterred by MAD. When they let rip, expecting it to usher in the 12th Imam, the dying gasp of the Israeli state and what we let loose from our boomer subs will utterly devastate Iran and turn much of that country into glass. Israel will be gone, and so will millions of Arab neighbors who, in Islamic theology, will be given “martyr” status as the only way to theologically obviate the horror of that collateral damage.

Honestly, this will be a mind-bending tragedy. And there will be other crises and catastrophes. People will consider nostalgically the Jimmy Carter administration as tame in comparison.

Yep, change is coming but it is going to take a four-year bitch-slap back into reality for the dopes to get it.

Correction to my last post: I meant Fr. Pfleger, not Rezko. But Rezko is also in his illustrious company as a criminal slumlord and political paymaster who knew how to tug on leashes.

Sep 25, 2008 - 8:18 am 32. tim maguire:

In what sense is Ayers a former terrorist? Is a terrorist a “former terrorist” when they are between acts and only an actual terrorist during the act? Or are they a former terrorist when they repudiate terrorist acts? Not only has Ayers not repudiated terrorism, he has expressed a wish to engage in more of it.

The line would be more accurate without the “former”.

Sep 25, 2008 - 8:21 am 33. HW:

I don’t believe for one minute that Ayers is “former terrorist” he just using other

Sep 25, 2008 - 8:28 am 34. tanstaafl:

…Mr. Ayers wrote that teachers should be community organizers dedicated to provoking resistance to American racism and oppression.

I’d already guessed that “Annenberg” money went to Bill Ayers’ pet political projects and was spent with an eye to furthering his radical agenda in the thinking of school children.

(In its own way, not too different from Islamists today who start on the minds of children as young as 3 so they will have the “correct” views when they come of age and can carry forth the radical view.)

And how much of this money ended up in JWright’s hands, Pfleger’s hands, Farrakhan’s hands ?

So much for all those millions “improving” the educational lot of Chicago’s school children, where the dropout rate still hovers around 50%.

The entire Annenberg “challenge” and Ayers’ agenda seem disgustingly incestuous and self-righteously self-centered, precisely like Bill Ayers’ bombing exploits when Barack Obama The Innocent was “just a lad” of 9 or 10 or 11.

Jeff, Thanks for enlightening us that Billy Ayers was a psychedelic pipe bomber from 1968 -1972 at which point he joined the Marines, became a scout leader, dedicated himself to helping old ladies across the street. As penance he voluntarily spit shines the Liberty Bell. As a professor at Northwestern he teaches a class on the greatness of Reagan.

I’ve also read Ayers babysat for the Obamas — and always wondered, why and when? – maybe a night out to catch a movie? – or maybe this:

Bernadine Dohrn is still a complete airhead. (”Ward Churchill’s books changed the landscape”)

Bill Ayers freely admits he did so many drugs he can’t remember sh!t. But he remembers enough to say he “hates” capitalism. (He should probably return the salary he draws as U. Chicago professor of education)

Arrogance Personified

Sep 25, 2008 - 9:15 am 39. BMoon:

A random sampling of the viral ideology that Dorhn and Ayers still hold to, alomng with the radical, elitist Left of the Dem Party, from their “communiques” directly cited from The Weather Eye on my bookshelf:

On the Hearst kidnapping and policial violence: which they deemed an “audacious intervention” – “It is the people who make revolution, they must determine how and when revolutionary violence is necessary.” (p.94)

On the victory of the Communist dictatorship in Vietnam:“With an enemy as US imperialism, every people’s victory is to be treasured and claimed.” (p.116)

On the American pilots who participated in “urban bombings” (like J. McCain?): “The criminals must be brought to justice…The heroes are those who opposed.” (p.122)

On prison riots, dedicating the bombing of the Marin Co. Civic Center to rioters:“Fighting where there is no place to hide, they have turned every prison in Amerika into an advance guerilla post of the war against pig America.” (p.24)

Announcing their “Fall Offensive” of 1970: “Students and hippies who now hear of peace talk from the white man must now remember how talk of peace was used against the Indians and preached to the blacks.” (p. 22)

After Ayers’ and Dorhn’s friends blew themsleves up planning to blow up US servicemen:“All over the world people fighting Amerikan imperialism look o Amerika’s outh to use our strategic position behind enemy lines to join forces in the destruction of the empire.” (p.16)

Perhaps that’s all we can stomach for now, but just a reminder who these people really are and their beliefs that are still taught in university and high school classrooms, propagated on very popular sites of the extreme left that support Obama, like MoveON, HuffPo and DKos,and in which Obama was trained in early on, associated with through his professional polirical career, and now slyly cloaks as part of the liberal elitist “subtlety” of suppressed disdain for America and the “ignorant flyovers” they wish to govern and reeducate.

Rotwang – You seem a little testy on the subject. More testy than usual. Have we touched a sensitive nerve here? Well, you and Jeff and R. Hurley and all of your communist (little c) apologists should fasten your seat belts because you’re in for a 40 day bumpy ride.

There’s an old truism about character (and characters) that fits Barack Obama to a tee, “You will become in 5 years the books you read and the people you associate with.” – Charles Jones

I find the issue of obtaining a security clearance as POTUS an interesting issue. Obama could not become and FBI agent with his admitted past use of cocaine and a background check of friendships and associations would sink him like a rock in most state police agencies.

Having worked extensively in the non-profit sector myself, I know for a fact the paper trail on the 160 million dollars will be very revealing. Of course, I don’t need an auditors report to tell me where the money went. I simply have to read the CAC’s program objectives and I can tell you exactly what happened to that money. Any novice community organizer could.

The bulk of the money went to “legitimate” front groups (i.e. Rev. Wright’s church, Minister Farrakhan’s militia, Father Phleger’s ministry, Tony Rezko’s projects) that could launder the huge chunks of cash and distribute them out to various “project coordinators” at the street level. This gives the money “cover” while greasing the wheels of progress towards the CAC’s stated program objectives, re-education and radicalism of children. What parent wouldn’t get behind millions of dollars being handed out to “serve” their little bundles of joy?

To quantify and measure the results of the CAC funding distributions look no futher than Rev. Wright’s “ministries”, Farrakhan’s “ministries” , Fr. Phleger’s “ministries” and Rezko’s “projects”. The program outomes are clearly right in front of us. When Barack Obama said Rev. Wright has done so much “good” for the community he knows what he is talking about.

Obama is a puzzle with most of the key pieces surrounding the man himself in place: ‘Frank’, Wright, Ayers, Rezko, CAC, DCP (Developing Communities Project), et al. The picture is clear to those who are willing to see it.

I also think we will be hearing more about Obama’s church of 20 something years and its basic theology which is built upon the teachings of Dr. James Cone. Cone is Obama’s mentor’s mentor.

Wright greatly admires Cone and has said that his works are the basis for Trinity’s philosophies. Cone founded the modern black liberation theology movement out of the civil rights struggles of the 1960s. Particularly influential was Cone’s 1969 book, “Black Theology & Black Power.” which is recommended reading for parishioners at Obama’s church of 20 plus years who want to “better understand their church”.

In an interview, Cone said that when he was asked which church most embodied his message, “I would point to that church (Trinity) first.”

Here are some quotes from Dr. Cone’s work:

“All white men are responsible for white oppression. . . . Theologically, Malcolm X was not far wrong when he called the white man ‘the devil.’. . . Any advice from whites to blacks on how to deal with white oppression is automatically under suspicion as a clever device to further enslavement.”

In a 2004 essay he wrote, “Black suffering is getting worse, not better. . . . White supremacy is so clever and evasive that we can hardly name it. It claims not to exist, even though black people are dying daily from its poison”(in Living Stones in the Household of God).”"

I find it hard to believe that Obama does not on some level agree with Cone and Wright.

Sep 25, 2008 - 9:45 am 46. fred:

I read a story about a woman, although I am not sure I can find the link yet, who is now living in Israel who, back in 1965, was raped by William Ayers and his room mate at the University of Michigan. From the account one can easily understand that this man was not just a Communist operative, but perhaps a serial rapist as well. This man is a criminal through and through and he may just end up as our Secretary of Education.

It just keeps getting more and more rancid. Our nation is in very deep danger now. Our children are at the mercy of these thugs. All of them wolves in sheep’s clothing.

Charlie Scandrett:
Given Obama’s two decades association with Jeremiah Wright who traveled to Libya with Farrokhan, and his 13 year association with an admitted terrorist Bill Ayers, and various organizations with revolutionary philosophies, can he get a high enough security clearance to be President?

You are confused about security clearances and who must have them. The President and to a lesser extent the VP are unique. They are exempt from bureaucratic drones determining their “fitness”. The voters do that. The President automatically gets all clearances. The President may also give that dispensation to the VP if he feels like it, or give the VP the “mushroom treatment” as he feels like it. (Kept in the dark as VPs Truman and John Nance Gardner and fed bullshit)

=============================
Obama is in a bad spot. It is a close election, so full disclosure might hurt him significantly. But if it turns out there is far more to this and it was found to have been covered up, then we may have more partisan warfare, possibly a special prosecutor…eroding an Obama Presidency and the chance of fixing anything in America.

And the American Public is so sick of that while our great national problems remain unadressed in political gridlock.

cedarford – Being “exempt” from security clearance protocols doesn’t change the basic premise of the question at hand. How can someone get elected to be POTUS that can’t pass a background check or character assessment to be a state or federal law enforcement officer? It may be true, but it doesn’t make it right.

As far as “fixing” America goes, in 40 days, if Barack Obama is elected and there is a Democrat majority in Congress come January 2009, get ready for shock and awe… shock and awe! America as we know it will be tossed on the dustbin of history.

The radical, and I mean left wing radical, transformation of our country will be so swift and comprehensive it will define our nation for the next 100 years! Obama’s plan to implement a new kind of militia, a militia of “community organizers” sympathetic to grand socialism will not only be adopted immediately but it will be absolutely necessary to maintain law and order. Think, Minister Farrakhan’s youth group of nice young men walking the beat in your neighborhood to maintain balance and harmony. Black liberation theology will come full circle and triumph over the oppressive white man once and for all. This is their stated purpose of which Barack Obama has been well schooled by their greatest masters his entire life.

Right about now, Joe Biden is an insider overhearing water cooler conversations among the true believers on Obama’s team. He has got to be grossed out. I think a lot of his gaffes are really Freudian slips. The cognitive dissonance for Biden being surrounded by these wacko’s has got to be intense.

Sep 25, 2008 - 11:43 am 53. fred:

Joe Biden has to be considered someone who is on the left side of the Soft Left, because ever since he went into the Senate in January of 1973 (I was a senior in high school then)he has been on the wrong side of every major foreign policy and defense issue. Obama selected him, or Soros or Dean selected him, because his positions do not differ much at all from Obama’s. I heard that it was his longstanding opposition to ballistic missile defense that Obama really liked.

Hard to say exactly where the delineation is between the Hard Left and the Soft Left. Biden is also a triangulator and a survivor. There are not many principles in his body. He may be grossed out by the Brownshirt types in the Obama campaign, but he’ll go along and get along all the same.

Let me point out one major fact, John McCain was actually involved in the Keating Five and was accused of corruption in 1989, during the Savings and Loans crisis of the late 1980s and early 1990s, which was the last financial market meltdown before this current one that we are facing. The ultimate cost of the crisis was estimated to have totaled around $160.1 billion, about $124.6 billion of which was directly paid for by the U.S. taxpayers. That was our last biggest bailout of the financial market and McCain was directly involved in that. Throughout that time period, he was also pushing for deregulation of the financial market. Now he wants to reform the financial market with Federal regulations and oversight after this current financial market collapse? This is a classic case of political hypocrisy at play. Could this be the main reason for McCain not wanting to have the Presidential debate this Friday? Could he fear that this current financial market meltdown could bring back comparisons to the Savings and Loans crisis, to which he was directly involved in? Although there were no charges brought against him, he was not only closely associated with Charles Keating, he had some level of knowledge and had some actual involvement in that matter. Here is the full compelling story of the Keating Five below —

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keating_Five

Here, you have a man who not only had some inside knowledge of corruption in the financial market during the Savings and Loans crisis of the late 1980s and early 1990s, he was also closely associated with the main focal point of this corruption, Charles Keating. He also played a minor role of involvement in that matter by pushing for deregulation of the financial market. He made no attempts to warn Congress or the Feds of any of Charles Keating’s actions and was never persecuted or formally charged. Now that we are at the peak of the Presidential race, a very similar situation arises again with another major meltdown of the financial market. There is no doubt that many people out there will make the comparisons to the Savings and Loans crisis. This is ultimately a case of, “what goes around, comes around”, unfortunately.

Then you have another man who has casual associations with some unlikely characters but have not had any actual involvements with these characters in terms of any wrongdoing but is condemned and persecuted solely by casual association. One must realize hypocrisy before passing judgment.

To Jeff & Eric -

Wake up and stop drinking the kool-aid. No one is saying BO associated with Ayers back in the 60s. What they are saying is that in mid 90s when BO was in his mid 30s, and supposedly capable of rational judgement, he knowingly associated with an unrepentant terrorist. This was done as an adult, not as a child. The two worked together on a far left program of radical indoctrination for teachers and students. The goal of the program was the same goal that Ayers had in the 60s. To not see the relationship for what it was is to be a totally committed ideologue with no room for facts.

Thanks to articles like this, the larger public is (hopefully) now learning of a second stealth attack on our nation — the perversion of our children’s minds — and the potential complicity of a presidential candidate.

The efforts of another attack are being realized right now — one that has put our economy on the brink of collapse. It had its implementation, if not its genesis, in the hands of sick-minded liberals who now offer one of their own – chief puppet, BO, with his legion of fools – to lead our nation out of the nightmare. Whether the Dems were so stupid not to figure the damage that would ultimately result from their actions, or so evil they desired what we’re now witnessing, will be left to others to decide.

It just seems to me, that what the airplanes failed to achieve on 9/11, the enemy happily observes might be occuring now. It could be said this crisis, if by design, can be attributed to “inside political strategy” — a tactic preferred, I’ve read, and practiced by the Democrat candidate. Overt, strongarm tactics are only used when left with no other option. Like when an author’s book exposing the truth goes public.

But will the larger voting public learn the truth? Or will the Dems, of which they’re masters, obfuscate and spin in order to lay blame at the feet of others? (And certainly they’ve had their base, the MSM, reliably helpful.)

McCain and the Republicans had better not let them.

Many of us have taken great care to be fair regarding BO’s ties to the muslim world — there are too many other undeniable, legitimate concerns to sink his candidacy — like this! — however, I can’t help noting he certainly shares this with the Islamic radical: stealth and deception; if not patience and long-term planning to achieve one’s goal. He’s been thick with these radicals for two decades.

So for those who think BO’s resume is thin on experience, he does have some — just not anything he’s willing to share with the American public. The reasons are obvious.

“…there are plenty of examples of Obama’s good judgment.” Eric, I’d appreciate your naming one.

I’ve tried to discover one and haven’t. I won’t buy “He opposed the war.” That was a politically expedient position since he knew his upcoming election to higher office depended on a very liberal constituency.

No, Eric, this association is but one of many. Far too many others exist to think this man exercises anything but the poorest judgment. His mind was most likely poisoned at an early age – much as he’s attempting to do with our children. I assume you’re aware of Frank Marshall Davis’ influence on the young, vulnerable Obama.

The fact that he allowed his own children to listen to hate-filled lies from the mouth of a preacher shows how little he cares, or at least how clueless he is, regarding the welfare of our future generation.

Reject this man, Eric. Don’t defend him. He’s not good for America.

I don’t think anyone has any proof that the Obama children listened to “hate filled lies”. If you think McSame’s in any way good for this country you’re just not paying attention.

SuznAZ:

For the Christian, a preacher who expresses from the pulpit any anger or bitterness toward another man – whether it includes outright lies – is a betrayal of the work of the Cross of Christ.

It attempts to nullify the very salvation offered by His sacrifice and His example. Without forgiveness for one another, man is trapped in a deathward spiral. Wright is leading his congregation down the wrong path.

To teach this, in any manner, is evil if one knows better. I choose to think Obama – as well as his friend and mentor, Wright – have not experienced Christ’s salvation. They are both blind. If they knew Truth, they could not say and do the things they do. It would repulse them.

Letting them off the hook on that does not mean either man is fit to lead a church, much less a nation. I can forgive them their tremendous error. And I pray for their congregants.

But I’ll do everything in my power to see that the blind does not lead the blind. A leader must recognize evil. Obama does not.

We already had some forms of regulation on FM & FM, notably the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight, which, as libertarian Larry Elder points out, reported that things were sailing smoothly mere months before Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae broke down.

Mona Charen from NRO asserts that BAD regulation has led to the wall street meltdown, rather than a LACK of regulation. That’s probably the best way to describe the current situation. The seeds of chaos can be traced back to the days of Clinton Administration, where Clinton apointess like Franlkin Raines pressured banks to lend risky loans to minorities and various community groups to avoid the appearances of discrimination. The Democrats supported measures like the Community reinvestment act, which encouraged this kind of lending practices. I’m a minority myself, and if I was a banker 10 years, I wouldn’t have loaned a cent to my parents who made their living on delivering beverages. But some other banks would have, to help them realize the American dream of owning their own home or whatnot, and thus HERE we are.

Government meddling was as guilty for this mess as some Wall Street figures were, and we need LESS of their presence on any kind of business, not more. Stil, “Regulation” is gaining favor among Americans as some sort of government intervention to stop corruption, which worries me.

John Mccain supported legislation that might have clamped down on bad lending practices according to Jonah Goldberg -

“In 2005, McCain sponsored legislation to thwart what he later called “the enormous risk that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac pose to the housing market, the overall financial system and the economy as a whole.”

Obama, the Senate’s second-greatest recipient of donations from Fannie and Freddie after Dodd, did nothing.

Meanwhile, Raines, the head of a government-supported institution, made $52 million of his $90 million compensation package thanks in part to fraudulent earnings statements.”

Many people think that Obama decided to attend Harvard Law at the urging of Tom and Bill Ayers.

The real Barack Obama

By Dimitri Vassilaros
TRIBUNE-REVIEW
Friday, September 26, 2008

Don’t spend hours connecting the dots to see what Big Media hasn’t been showing about Sen. Barack Obama and others on the left of politics, culture and religion. David Horowitz, who knows a thing or three about the radical left, has already done it.

The recovering leftist, now firmly in the right column, has placed online virtually every pixel of information about Mr. Obama’s radical existence to create a disturbing picture of him in high definition.

It’s not a pretty sight.

story continues below

Mr. Horowitz — founder of the Center for the Study of Popular Culture in 1988, the online FrontPage Magazine and other entities to outflank the left in the culture war while causing liberals to foam at the mouth — launched DiscoverTheNetworks.com in 2005. It claims to be the largest publicly accessible database (more than 8 million visitors so far this year) defining the chief groups and individuals of the Left and their organizational interlocks.

Barack’s World truly is a hellish little hovel, a Pandora’s box brimming with audacious domestic terrorists, anti-Semites, race hustlers, convicted con men, hyper socialist cells and little hope. None, actually.

Bill Ayers is Obama’s Willie Horton.

Visitors to the Web site will learn that Ayers and his wife, fellow radical Bernardine Dohrn, were leaders of the homegrown terrorist group the Weather Underground, a Communist-driven splinter faction of Students for a Democratic Society.

Ayers called his Weatherman gang “an American Red Army” with a motto of “Kill all the rich people. Break up their cars and apartments. Bring the revolution home, Kill your parents.”

In a story published on Sept. 11, 2001, Ayers told The New York Times that ”I don’t regret setting bombs. I feel we didn’t do enough.”

In his “Fugitive Days,” Ayers admitted that he “participated in the bombings of New York City police headquarters in 1970, of the U.S. Capitol in 1971 and the Pentagon in 1972.” Ayers and his Weatherman gang were responsible for 30 bombings, according to DiscoverTheNetworks.org.

Sep 26, 2008 - 1:30 pm 87. Sowell Disciple:

Remember Obama’s description of Ayers, during a nationally televised primary debate, as a guy who “lives in my neighborhood”? Aside from ideology, Obama is unprecedented in his degree of dishonesty, beginning with his completely unfounded persona as a “postpartisan” and “postracial” candidate, as well as blatant graft (such as his earmarks to U of C where his wife consequently received a tripling of salary, his secretive channeling of money to an ACORN front group, etc.). Obama cast the first negative stone in the campaign with his gross distortion of McCain’s comments by claiming that McCain “wants war in Iraq for another 100 years”. He injected race into the campaign by claiming without any basis that the Republicans will call it to voters attention (apparently for those voters who have only radios and were not aware of Obama’s racial mix). The scariest thing is that the television and print media are running interference for him, and they will be around forever after he’s defeated — no doubt to blame his defeat on racism!

Would someone please answer the following question. What has the “honorable” Barack Obama done for the state of IL?

I’ve lived here for 24 years and I can’t seem to find a thing. Well wait a minute, he wrote two books and traveled to Africa on the taxpayers dime. The trip to Africa I suppose gives him his foreign affairs experience? Kind of funny, when Carol Mosley Braun did that she was persecuted by the media and the political sector. Could it be that it was because she is a woman? How is it that Barack can do it and no one says a word? Seems to me there a double standard. Kind of like how the Democratic Party sold out Hillary.

I understand that he has experience in community activism. Well, I’m the Neighborhood Watch Captain and I organize community events for our subdivion. I guess I’m now qualified to run for president also. Only one exception, I’d run as an Independent and capture all the votes!

A politician with no decision making experience and no legislative experience. Yes, I call that a change from what there currently is, and certainly not one I want to experience.

IL residents and the rest of the nation, ask yourself the above question. If you can find the answer, then vote for him. A favor though…if you find the answer would you share it with the rest of the country?

Why in life does everyone besides Mr Obama have to answer questions about their associations? The answer is pretty simple. Our mainsteam media. Hopefully the country will read up about this guy and make the right choice in Novemeber. Hell if someone in the media actually did their job and asked the question he would get away with an answer like – “That’s above my paygrade” and we would be expected to go on our merry way.

By the way if you’re in Missouri and you question his campaign you could be arrested. He’s got the watchdogs out. Sound more and more like Socialism everyday. Long live KING OBAMA!

poster Jeff here and the rest of the blinded followers of Obama don’t get it…Obama met Ayers in College before he went to Harvard…Ayers and Obama went to the same college…Ayers was on the run and didn’t go to college until his later years…when Obama was an adult…Wake up America…Hilary and Biden tried to tell you in the primaries but no one listened the media buried the story…and when the truth comes out that it was Ayers who helped Obama get through school and took him under his wing..and Ayers was one of 4 members of the fund board that raped millions from children’ programs to feed bill ayers radical hatred for america and his new mouth piece barrack hussien obama….

TALK IS CHEAP … CHECK OBAMA’S RECORD !!!
A candidate’s track record, and associations are always a legitimate issue when running for President. Let’s take a look at the qualifications, judgement, and experience of Obama, who is running for President. Obama had 25 years to fulfill the potential he displayed as a rising start at Harvard Law School … and, how did he live up to that potential? … He chose to align himself with anti-American racist, Jeremiah Wright for TWENTY YEARS … along with Ferrahkan, Rezko, Ayers, and others. As a community organizer, he registered thousands of voters in Chicago … then, when he ran for the state legislature, he took away their votes, by disqualifying his opponent (a black woman) on a technicality. As a U.S. Senator, he voted present 160 times … he never called a meeting on the Afghanistan committee he chaired (although he NOW says we must shift all our military from Iraq to Afghanistan). He claimed Foreign Policy experience from a 9 day whirlwind photo op to 6 countries. And, he spent almost half of his tenure neglecting his responsibilities as a U.S. Senator, so he could run for President. Senator McCain served America honorably for 22 years in the military. He proved his love for America, as well as his honor, integrity and character, by refusing early release as a P.O.W., even while being tortured. He served America as a ‘contributing’ U.S. Senator, working across the aisle, for 20 years. If Obama’s Twentyfive year track record shows he lacks judgement, and can’t be trusted, who cares what he says about Health Care and the Economy! What Obama never learned is Character. He simply can’t be trusted … ask Jeremiah Wright, a friend of 20 years, who Obama betrayed for personal ambition … and, you Obama supporters really think he won’t betray you If he gets elected??? If he gets elected, you Obama supporters will be facing a HUGE disillusionment !!!

Oct 5, 2008 - 2:37 pm 115. Fausto:

Don’t worry people. America will prevail and the right person will be our commander, that is Sen. John McCain a man who needs no question marks. I would not be so concerned if Hillary was running against McCain. Everyone needs to take a close look at who this guy is and where he came from:

According to The Book of Revelations the anti-Christ is: The anti-Christ will
Be a man, in his 40’s, of MUSLIM descent, who will deceive the nations with
Persuasive language, and have a MASSIVE Christ-like appeal….the prophecy says
That people will flock to him and he will promise false hope and world peace,
And when he is in power, will destroy everything.

Do we recognize this description??

Oct 7, 2008 - 5:06 am 116. Giant Idiot:

Hey, I heard that Obama actually helped pack the nails in the bombs AND drove the get-a-way car! He had evil radical terrorist tendencies even when he was 8 years old! I also believe in little space creatures and Sasquatch! Sometimes people ask me how I am able to walk with my head so firmly up my ass. I tell them I walk sideways like a crab like every other moron on this idiotic blog!

Sometimes, secretly, I can’t wait for the disgusting Republican slime machine to implode on a massive scale so that they can shed the crazies that run the party and return to respectability and real policy ideas. But then I take my peyote and I am back to believing this sh*t!

Oct 9, 2008 - 8:39 am 117. Howard:

First Obama claims that over a TWENTY YEAR period, he never heard a single anti-American racist sermon from Jeremiah Wright … never noticed the anti-American racist literature in the church’s lobby … never agreed to the ‘Black Values System’ that all the church members swore to … never subscribed to the Marxist ‘Black Separation Theology’ espoused on the church’s website … never knew anti-American racist Louis Farrakhan, who the church awarded a life time achievement award to … and, never knew unrepentant terrorist William Ayers, when Obama launched his campaign from Ayer’s living room, sat on a board together, and whose wives worked at the same law firm http://www.prolifeblogs.com/articles/archives/2008/10/devastating_vid.php
. Obama also worked with Acorn, who has been caught in massive voter fraud, in behalf of Obama. Obama obviously shares an anti-American racist, and criminal philosophy with some very unsavory people, continues to lie about it, and does not have the character, or integrity to be President of the United States of America !!!

No one can make me believe that O Bad Man is not out for his and his ilk’s own agenda. This man is one step above the devil and sinking fast. His fellow associates, contacts or whatever they are bad, bad, bad. Yes, he may have been 8 yrs. old when Ayers bombed those sites, but he wasn’t always 8 yrs. old. His history has proven he is tight with Ayers, Wright, Rezlo, Flarity, Farakahn, etc. He was trained to be a community organizer by the man himself. After getting his law degree, Acorn hired him to defend the organization against voter fraud charges. Sound familiar? Is history repeating itself here? I think so. O Bad Man is a scourge to the black race. This is a time in life where the black man/woman could achieve something that has always been out of reach. Instead, O Bad Man has represented again the black man as a liar, sneak, thief, self destructive entity. How sad.

I have issues with both candidates, but I trust McCain far more than O Bad Man. McCain at least stepped up to the plate and admitted that he made poor judgement with the Keating 5, but he was exonerated. Me thinkth that O Bad Man protestth too much to be so pure. If he gets into office, this country will never be the same. He has proven that by not admitting or giving back the money he took out of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. He doesn’t care one twit about the “Middle Class, low class, high class, only what he can do for himself and his criminal friends.

hey..google annenberg reagan, or annenberg bush, LOL…Annenberg was the major fundraiser for Reagan, and Bush II appoints her to some worthless ambassadorship to the Crown in England…yes my right wing friends, Annenberg (Republican, read major Republican) was and is the head of the CAC and so guilt by association, means the Republicans have much more connection to Ayers by putting him on this Board than Obama ever dreamed of…fact check, you loose guys…Ayers/Reagan, Ayers/Bush I and II is much thicker than the brief stint with Obama….Tell the whole truth, not just the mean jaggernauts of the Hannity-pie hate crowd…
