Hate to disagree. These are distractions.
McCain has to talk mainly about the economy, what happened, what he’s going to do about it and the upside down the road. And I’m making the assumption he doesn’t try to out populist Obama.
The Ayers, Wright & Rezko matter as a point about Obama’s judgment but not as much as the economy. Obama has been out there for the past week pounding Republicans and McCain for the economic crisis. McCain has to correct that view. I hope he does tonite till Nov 4.

You do know that Dick Morris went to Kenya to campaign for Odinga, presumably at Obamah's request?
Not really sure who was behind Morris's campaign help.
And was treated just like Dr. Corsi and run out of town after a few days in the country.

There is no better way to link Obama’s dangerous and recent activities in Kenya, with the economic crisis.
Imagine a 45 sec ad questioning Obama’s trustworthiness at a time that the US and other countries are on the verge of a catostrophic financial collapse.
“....In 2006 - Obama campaigns in Kenya for a communist thug who starts a geonocidal coup who implemented muslim law and harbors Al Quaida.........AND WE SHOULD TRUST HIM TO LEAD AMERICA OUT OF THIS CRISIS WITHOUT CONCERN OF HIS ENEMY CONNECTIONS BOTH INSIDE AND OUTSIDE AMERICA???!!”

NOW APPEARS OBAMA’S COMMUNIST COUSIN IS PM OF KENYA (USES HIS STREET THUGS TO GAIN POWER)
Cabinet: Kibaki meets ministers
Story by NATION Team Publication Date: 2008/04/01 Cabinet ministers have said they are ready to work with ODM leader Raila Odinga to implement the power-sharing deal signed in February, sources close to the meeting have revealed.
President Kibaki chairs a Cabinet meeting at his Harambee House office in Nairobi on Monday. Photo/PPS In the first formal Cabinet meeting since President Kibaki and the Prime Minister-designate signed the deal to end post-election violence, the ministers also agreed on the need to speed up the resettlement of displaced families.
They also challenged the police to beef up security and crack down on those threatening the refugees who are willing to return to their farms.
However, the 15 ministers said President Kibaki should not share executive authority with any other office. The President can consult on who should be in government but the final say on who should occupy which position should be left to him, sources privy to the talks said.
Determine size
Sources said the ministers wanted the President to determine the size and structure of the Cabinet and insisted that he should not be dictated to.
The team said it was ready to work with Mr Odinga, the Prime Minister-designate, but claimed that he was “a man under siege”.
According to the sources, the ministers said Mr Odinga was “a different man” when he consulted with the President but often appeared to be a changed person after consulting his party.
However, Mr Odinga’s spokesman, Mr Salim Lone, said in an interview with the Nation that the party was ready to meet the Government coalition to resolve the impasse over the Cabinet.
He said ODM had a clear perspective on what the accord signed between President Kibaki and Mr Odinga entailed.
The accord was signed on February 28, to end post-election violence in which over 1,200 people were killed after a dispute over the presidential election results.
The deal also provided for sharing of power between the President’s party, PNU and ODM.
And while addressing the Africa economic minister’s conference in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, on Monday, Mr Benjamin Mkapa said the power- sharing deal signed by President Kibaki and Mr Odinga provided the framework for peace.
The former Tanzanian president was a member of the team of eminent Africans that negotiated the deal.
“I don’t think there is a Cabinet crisis since they are already agreed on the framework,” said Mr Mkapa.
More brutal and gory details of the man Obama unequivocally supports. Obama is so busted. This is more than bad judgment, this is scary. A Jacksonian who has done yeoman's work in substantiating Odinga's nefarious Arab ties and his hand in the ongoing violence that has all of Kenya in its barbaric clutches. Inconceivable horror. Gang raping little girls and boys as many as ten times. That's just the tip of the iceberg.
Obama has backed Odinga unequivocally going so far as telling big media (out of TIME Magazine's Joe Klein here),
"Obama has had near-daily conversations with the U.S. Ambassador in Kenya or with opposition leader Raila Odinga. As of late this afternoon, before his rally in Rochester, N.H., Obama was trying to reach Kenyan President Kibaki."
And he still hasn't reached him I bet. More on Odinga and Obama's phone conversations here.
This is beyond bad judgment. This is just bad and this story is not going to go away no matter how desperately in love Obamedia is with the Christ child. Big media does not control information anymore. And Obama is culpable. Here I am -- an individual blogger getting all this terrible information on Odinga and the man running for POTUS is in the dark? Think about it.
Obama's bias for his fellow Luo was so blatant that a Kenya government spokesman denounced Obama during his visit as Raila's "stooge."
A Jacksonian sent me this stunning comment (with links) on his post The other source of change in Kenyan politics made by one of his readers, mobysnny:
It's not getting reported in the media that the looting and burning of businesses in Kisumu was targeted to both Kikuyus and Kenyan Indians. The economy of Kenya is controlled by these two groups because they are Entrepreneurial. But Kenyan Indians rarely get involved in Kenyan politics, they do not vote by choice, yet the Luos in Kisumu do not like them, that's why their stores were getting burnt too.
Obama's boy.
I mentioned in my other comment about Luo supporters of Odinga abroad were telling each other to contact TV stations and spread about the violence in Kenya. Here is one sent by a Luo to Jerusalem Post.
I was shocked by the lies this man decided to tell the post. That is the reason we are seeing all this stories making Odinga and his supporters look like angels even as they kill people.
Can you believe these Luos abroad were telling their supporters in Kenya that William Ruto and Raila Odinga had been arrested immediately after the election results. Which was total lies. It was meant to incite ODM supporters in Kenya mainly Luos and Kalenjin (Ruto is a Kalenjin). That's another reason we were seeing the violence getting worse.

"Abongo's new lifestyle has left him lean and clear-eyed, and at the wedding, he looked so dignified in his black African gown with white trim and matching cap that so me of our guests mistook him for my father," Obama wrote in
Dreams From My Father.
Barack Obama's cousin
Raila Odinga is
accused of ethnic cleansing and is currently battling for power in Kenya.
Barack has stated his support for Luo Opposition Leader in Kenya RaRaila Odinga (who signed a Shariah pact with Muslims and claims to be Obama's cousin) and is married to Ida Odinga. They have four children - two sons and two daughters. His oldest son, Fidel, is
named after Fidel Castro.

Do you have email links for MSM - post here? This author could need help.
To: loungeSerf
All issues are important.
The economy, our security, and the characters of the people running for office....those are the primary. So I think we need to hear about all of them.
To: loungeSerf
Ayers, Odinga, etc. are important as they confirm the left-most suspicions voters rightly have about our most liberal senator, because in these challenging economic times the last thing we want to do is to put a stealth Marxist in charge. The unsavory communist/Muslim connections are of value as supporting evidence against getting this guy anywhere near our government, taxes and the economy.

The biggest reason Obama’s connections and associates matter in this election is that the guy has such a tiny, little voting record. I’ve spent a few days going through his voting record and more importantly his bill sponsorship record. It would take me months to do that on McCain. Obama has done so very little, it’s critical that his associations speak to his character and philosophy.
To: Kackikat
WRONG...WRONG...WRONG....WORLD NET DAILY, WHERE CORSI IS A WRITER DOES NOT CONFIRM THAT RUMOR THAT HE HAS BEEN DEPORTED. The DAILY KOS STARTED THIS RUMOR! I didn't post the article. Just a working link to it. In any case, I think anything that gets the Kenyan connection into the news is a GOOD thing. People will ask, what's it all about.

"Muslims rounded up" without the benefit of an attorney.
Via
Instapundit,
THIS IS FROM THE SOB'S WEBSITE
"Barack Obama Is Not and Has Never Been a Muslim.
Obama never prayed in a mosque.
He has never been a Muslim, was not raised a Muslim, and is a committed Christian who attends the United Church of Christ.
OK, SO NOW THE SOB IS GOING TO TELL THE BIG LIE AND GET AWAY WITH IT?
HELL NO.
Was Obama Ever a Muslim?
"I've always been a Christian," said Obama, focusing on his own personal lack of practice of Islam as a child to deny any connection to Islam. But Muslims do not see practice as key. For them, that he was born to a line of Muslim males makes him born a Muslim. Further, all children born with an Arabic name based on the H-S-N trilateral root (Hussein, Hassan, and others) can be assumed to be Muslim, so they will understand Obama's full name, Barack Hussein Obama, to proclaim him a born Muslim.
More: family and friends considered him as a child to be Muslim. In "Obama Debunks Claim About Islamic School," Nedra Pickler of the Associated Press wrote on January 24, 2007, that Obama's mother, divorced from Obama's father, married a man from Indonesia named Lolo Soetoro, and the family relocated to the country from 1967-71. At first, Obama attended the Catholic school, Fransiskus Assisis, where documents showed he enrolled as a Muslim, the religion of his stepfather. The document required that each student choose one of five state-sanctioned religions when registering – Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, Catholic or Protestant.
Asked about this, Obama communications director Robert Gibbs responded by indicating to Pickler that he wasn't sure why the document had Obama listed as a Muslim. "Senator Obama has never been a Muslim."
Two months later, Paul Watson of the Los Angeles Times (available online in a Baltimore Sun reprint) reported that the Obama campaign had retreated from that absolute statement and instead issued a more nuanced one: "Obama has never been a practicing Muslim." The Times looked into the matter further and learned more about his Indonesian interlude:
His former Roman Catholic and Muslim teachers, along with two people who were identified by Obama's grade-school teacher as childhood friends, say Obama was registered by his family as a Muslim at both schools he attended. That registration meant that during the third and fourth grades, Obama learned about Islam for two hours each week in religion class.
The childhood friends say Obama sometimes went to Friday prayers at the local mosque. "We prayed but not really seriously, just following actions done by older people in the mosque. But as kids, we loved to meet our friends and went to the mosque together and played," said Zulfin Adi. … Obama's younger sister, Maya Soetoro, said in a statement released by the campaign that the family attended the mosque only "for big communal events," not every Friday.
Recalling Obama's time in Indonesia, the Times account contains quotes that Obama "went to the mosque," and that he "was Muslim."
Summarized, available evidence suggests Obama was born a Muslim to a non-practicing Muslim father and for some years had a reasonably Muslim upbringing under the auspices of his Indonesian step-father. At some point, he converted to Christianity. It appears false to state, as Obama does, "I've always been a Christian" and "I've never practiced Islam." The campaign appears to be either ignorant or fabricating when it states that "Obama never prayed in a mosque."-Daniel Pipes
