Clarice Feldman lays out the reasons why the William Ayers/Annenberg Challenge story will seriously damage the candidacy of The One. A sample:
...the story was that Ayers was an old professor in Mr. Obama’s neighborhood who just happened to host a fundraiser for him in 1995 which launched his political career.
Some mush was thrown in along the way about having served with him on a charity board, but Obama did not correctly describe the charity or the dates or the extent of their association on it.
The truth is that the two men worked closely together for years, beginning several months before that 1995 fundraiser. The fund Obama chaired and which was supposed to improve public education in Chicago never met its stated purpose of improving public school pupils’ performance and, in fact, probably hindered it, despite having blown through $110 million in the process. And as chairman of this group Obama funneled this money to politically useful types including Fidelistas and Maoists who like Ayers (now vice-president elect of the American Education Research Association) are working to make our public schools indoctrination centers for the left .
Once the public learns more of the CAC, will the voters decide that the manner in which Obama exercised his sole opportunity at executive authority was so good that he deserves the keys to the Oval Office?
"Punished with a baby" killed him the hearts.

Please ignore the first.
McPain needs to do an ad on this.
McPain MUST be heard hitting and keep the ads coming.
I lIKE “passed over”. Hitlery might even like it too !
Well, we better get it all over the internet, because the drive-bys will never mention it. It is critical to remember that they will ALWAYS do whatever it takes to protect Obama the way a mother protects a slow child. They are on a mission to try to reestablish their relevance.
Sounds like the perfect Democrat -- they'll vote for him in droves.
It explains how Barack rose so fast in Chicago politics...handing out money to his supporters on the far far left
What is the status in the swing states, though?
That’s the place where Biden is going to hurt McCain, I think...with the blue-collar vote that doesn’t look into Biden deeply enough.

"If" would be the way I'd put it.
The Clinton money schemes were too complicated for the average DUH voter. Unless you have a picture of a smoking gun in BO's hand and a body at his feet, it's questionable to me if the average voter will exercise his limited powers of reasoning to the degree required to understand the implications.
Yeah, I'm a cynic. But betting on the average voter's inability to draw a line from A to B usually pays off.
Interesting. I presume Stephanopolis is still pimping for the clintons. Whether or not it's true, that might explain why he would pushthat story now, right before the Convention opens.
The American people deserve to know if their President has no problem maintaining a friendship with a proud, boastful, anti-American terrorist,,,
whose only regret is THAT HE DID NOT DO MORE!!!!
This outrage needs to be explained to the American people.
Steve Diamond, a professor at the Santa Clara University School of Law, believes that Barack Hussein Obama may have been in intimate contact with the Ayers family since the mid-1980s, and that Michelle Obama [then Michelle LaVaughn Robinson] may have been in contact with Bernardine Dohrn, at Sidley & Austin, even earlier than that:
Who "sent" Obama?One obvious possibility is that Dohrn & Ayers were responsible for introducing BHO & MLVR to one another [and engineering their marriage].
http://globallabor.blogspot.com/2008/04/who-sent-obama.html
At any rate, Diamond is fairly certain that Barack has known the Ayerses and Michelle has known Dohrn for WELL OVER 20 YEARS NOW.
PS: As Diamond points out, another name to keep an eye on [as regards this Chicago/Harvard den of Luddite Bolsheviks] is MINOW.
Bingo!
Democrats will for the most part vote Democrat, it doesn’t mater to most of them who is on the ticket. I’m originally from NYC, NY Democrats treat the Party like they would the NY Yankees and the NFL Giants. Its not a Party, its a team with a strong fan base. When they say they’re voting Democrat, they’re saying they’re rooting for the home team. They’re not too concerned about their candidate’s(aka star players) background, all they want is the home run or the touchdown that wins the game.
If you reacall, Obama tossed off that "Ayers was some professor of English..." when everyone in politics in Chicago including Obama knew full well that Ayers was a professor of Education. Then it became a BHO campaign talking point that "Obama couldn't have known Ayers well because he didn't even know the proper field that Ayers was in."
This is a prime example of Obama and Axelrod displaying their slimy dishonesty and over-rating their own trivial intelligences.
Has anyone seen any post-Saddle Sore polls? The poll that had McCain up 5 points was released post – Saddle Sore, but the actual poll took place the week before. I’m looking for a poll that has been taken post Rick Warren’s venue. Are there any yet?
marked
I did not hear George’s quote, but there has been a recent 12 point shift from McCain being down by 7 points to the latest polls show him up by 5 points.

That's like working to ensure that pizza has sauce and cheese on it.
The MSM is playing their 'ostrich role' very well on this one.
The refuse to research it, report it, look at it,,,or even mention it.
How could they (or anyone, for that matter) explain why it is normal for anyone (much less our President) to have a terrorist friend that has tried his best to bomb the Capitol, the Pentagon, NY police headquarters (and whose only regret is that he did not to more)!!!
Imagine what the MSM would do if McCain had an anti-American, boastful, terrorist wife (and terroist wife)??? They're already in a frenzy over the fact that McCain owns several homes!!
I am no psychiatrist , but I have played doctor . Obambi's comments are disturbingly revealing given his own history . Sad . Dangerous .
Just imagine how far that $110 million could have gone to help the students in Kenya...../sarc
If McCain runs the right campaign in the next 2 months (and they will if the last 30 days are any hint for what’s to come), then this election will be a choice between the following:
1) An extremest inexperienced democrat with poor judgement who’s friends with a guy who bombed the Pentagon and Capital seeking to help destroy our society and way of life,
or
2) A distinquished Navy member who served his country and has worked his whole life to take out enemies of our nation who seek to destroy those who threaten our way of life and attack our society and way of life.
GO CLARICE!!
Hell, I'd even pay for his ticket.
Doubt it.
The general public will not understand the significance nor relevancy of this information.
The Republican administration of the past 8 years(supposed conservatives) betrayed the American people with their fiscal mismanagement and as a result have created a craving for socialism and they will not be denied.

The files indicate that Ayers fingerprints were found in the “bomb factory” apartment.
These FBI files are an amazing read.
“Obama funneled this money to politically useful types including Fidelistas and Maoist....”
There must be a public record somewhere of exactly where and to whom this 501c3 money went. And, BTW, how long are We The People expected to continue to allow these tax exempt outfits to fund enemies of the Republic?!!
Actually, George S. flashed that Obama was leading McCain 49% to 43% among registered voters. He then followed up with the comment “slightly less” among likely voters.
“... despite having blown through $110 million in the process...”
And 92% of the black people are going to vote for him when he can’t accomplish the stated goals of the organization?
If I were one of the poor folks living in Chicago’s south side, or west side, I’d want to know why the likes of Obama and Wright and Biden live in multi-million dollar digs while they live in public housing that can’t even get heat in the winter!!
And yet they keep flocking to promises that evaporate into political rhetoric.
That is not hope they can believe in.
In making my choice for #2, let me say that I believe there is a growing number of people who are trying to make sense of an internal fear that they are being disenfranchised by the very people they elected and entrusted with the business of their government.
Instead, all they got was a bunch a fat cats whose primary interest is adding to their personal wealth.

Might want to download if this falls into a black hole
I lIKE “passed over”. Hitlery might even like it too !
she probably had a hand in helping to make it..nothing she wants more than for The One to go down in flames, either at this years convention OR during the GE..hitlery is in it for hitlery..win at all costs..NEVER count a clinton out..
There are dozens of stories out there that would kill any mortal politician, but this is the Obamessiah.
What story will?
A pro-nuclear power, pro-drilling statement?
A statement against gun control?
Did he say something about the Iraq war being a good thing for the world?
Did he point out that the income tax never taxes “rich”, just those who are trying to make money?
Nope. This is just an anti-American supporting another anti-American. The media won’t even mention it in passing.
I would like to see that, and this image of Obama's campaign Headquarters played in ads in South Florida!
it would cement Florida IMHO.
Cal, do you have this?
....and sadly, nor do they care.
The last 20 years, and particularly the last 4 years, have been devastating for patriotism and honor in the U.S. We are now faced with the prospect of actually having the lunatic, traitorous left succeed in getting a hard line marxist elected POTUS.
If McCain cannot convince the third of Americans who are wishy-washy "centrists" that Obummer is not a good choice, and the left gets all of what they want, Obummer just might try to be like Chavez....
I will be 71 years old in Nov. and this is the scariest election in my lifetime.
I understand why that would cause some confusion. However, as someone stated above, McCain was up by 5 points before the church forum, in which he killed Obama, so it would make sense that he’d be up more than 5 points now. However, I can’t find any link to prove it, at the moment.
The Admin Moderator will almost certainly delete this comment [in 3, 2, 1 seconds...], but if you were "one of the poor folks living in Chicago’s south side", then you wouldn't be intelligent enough to wonder "why the likes of Obama and Wright and Biden live in multi-million dollar digs" while you lived "in public housing".
Moral of the Story being that, in the long run, people tend to get the kind of government that they deserve.
This story will get zero coverage by the MSM and other than in blogs and maybe on Fox News will this ever see the light of day.
I’ld be happy to rip it and make it a thread; but it is 138 pages long.
“Diamond is fairly certain that Barack has known the Ayerses and Michelle has known Dohrn for WELL OVER 20 YEARS NOW.”
And don’t they all connect back to Daley?
“The fund Obama chaired and which was supposed to improve public education in Chicago never met its stated purpose of improving public school pupils’ performance and, in fact, probably hindered it,”
Shocking!
So - when The-One-We-Have-Been-Waiting-For proposes neat goodies like free college, free health care,subsidized green tech, free daycare, free preschool, free abortions,and new civilian peace-keeping force - we can’t look at any previous work he can point to and say “there! I set out to accomplish something and I did it!”
His previous adventures were failures?
And he STILL thinks he’s so much smarter than everyone that he should take charge of most of the private sector?
