'This story is going to kill Obama at the polls'
American Thinker ^ | 8/24/08 | Thomas Lifson

Posted on 08/24/2008 9:32:44 AM PDT by pissant

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?

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.

Ayers/Dorhn are really the big fish in the Obama story. Here is a little gem about Dorhn from LGF:

That's like working to ensure that pizza has sauce and cheese on it.

The media will never cover this. We need to do our part and spread the word as much as possible.

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.

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!!

"Punished with a baby" This phrase is exceptionally disgusting because, judging by how forcefully Obama said it, he meant it.

I am no psychiatrist , but I have played doctor . Obambi's comments are disturbingly revealing given his own history . Sad . Dangerous .

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.

Hope so too.....but my greatest hope is that Ayers shows up at the Recreate ‘68 protest rally in Denver, standing with Ward Churchill and Cindy Sheehan.

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.

Someone needs to cross-ck the names in these FBI files, with Hussein’s staff and donors.

http://foia.fbi.gov/foiaindex/weather.htm

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.

There are dozens of stories out there that would kill any mortal politician, but this is the Obamessiah.
