Obama Should Come Clean On Ayers, Rezko And the Iraqi Billionaire
Teh Wall Street Journal ^ | August 230, 2008 | John Fund

Posted on 08/30/2008 5:56:27 AM PDT by libstripper

Even as Barack Obama gave his soaring speech Thursday night, his campaign was playing hardball with its critics.

Team Obama has launched an offensive against WGN, the Chicago Tribune's radio station, for interviewing Stanley Kurtz. Mr. Kurtz is a conservative writer who this week forced the University of Illinois to finally open its records on Sen. Obama's association with William Ayers, the unrepentant 1970s Weather Underground terrorist.

The question about the money trail for the down payment for the house is interesting. It might slow down the Obama train to have to answer some of those questions.

Yep, pretty good piece by John. What comes across most strongly is Mr. Obama’s arrogance and curt dismissal of any who would dare question his megalomania. And both came across very clearly in the Obamessiah’s “I Am a Dream” speech in the Temple of Doom.

Obama cannot come "clean" on these associations. If he did, and he knows this all too well, his presidential aspirations would go up in smoke.

They are going up in smoke in any case because in today's world, with the internet, and talk radio providing the avenues, the truth will come out and millions will know it (despite the best efforts of a colluding MSM), and through email, word of mouth, and phone, they will spread it to tens of millions of their relatives, friends, and neighbors.

Fact is, William Ayers is an unrepentant traitorous bastard, who declared war on this country during a time of war and then used violence in the form of terror bombings to prosecute that war on our shores against the American people. To this day he is unrepetentant and feels he did not do enough.

He was on the FBI's top 10 list for ten years and on the run, and then "magically" decided to come in during the Carter shame years, when draft dodgers and other enmies of this nation were being offered amnesty, and again, "magically" a technicality was found that caused the government to dismiss all charges.

He himself has stated, sarcastically, that he was "Guilty as hell but free as a bird".

This is the man that Barack Huseein Obama sought out, befriended, kicked his political career off at the man's house, sat on boards with, had financial dealings with, and attended speaking events together with.

The evidence of Obama's collusion with this enemy of American is damning and Obama knows it and will do all in his power to keep it from coming to light.

...and Ayers is just one of many.

Chasing the rest of Mr. Obama's paper trail is often an exercise in frustration. Mr. Obama says his state senate records "could have been thrown out" and he didn't keep a schedule in office. No one appears to have kept a copy of his application for the Illinois Bar. He has released only a single page of medical records, versus 1,000 pages for John McCain.

Did Sandy Berger visit those places recently?

With the WSJ on this story, it ought to have legs.

John Fund writes for the editorial page. The reporters for the news pages are just as leftist as reporters for other newspapers. I doubt they'll investigate anything.

“With the WSJ on this story, it ought to have legs.”

Yep. Can you imagine?!

If it is shown, that the Democrat nominee for President of the United States, profited from the Iraq Oil For Food Scandel with the help of an Iraqi billionaire that sold weapons to Saddam Hussein before the war?

WOW!!

“Mr. Obama’s arrogance and curt dismissal of any who would dare question his megalomania.”

Reminds me of a saying to the effect that “hard times may reveal something in a man, but if you REALLY want to know what he’s made of, put him in a position of power.”

If this guy is arrogant now, just think what it will be like if he has the might of the U.S. Government at his disposal — the FBI, the IRS, etc., etc. George W. Bush has created a huge security apparatus to fight the war on terror, but he’s basically an honest man. Obama’s brownshirts are so itching to make the rest us us ‘be better’ that they can taste it — and if they take office, those levers of coercion will fall into their hands. Reimposing the Fairness Doctrine will be the first step — and after that, what? Speech codes for the internet? Be afraid. Be very, very afraid.

When I bought my home I didn't know anything about the process either, but, like one of those green light bulbs, I slowly started to get brighter and brighter concerning the process.
Actually buying a home gives most people an instant education. As a lawyer, if Obama clams he couldn't grasp that concept he has admitted to lacking the experience to be POTUS.

The American people deserve an explanation on why it’s ok for their President to have a terrorist as a friend.

Hopefully word will continue to get into the MSM that NObama is using the Justice Department to silence their critics. We should evoke the name of Nixon, one of the Rats favorite whipping boys, that should get their panties in a wad.

I advise all to go to National Review online and read Stanley Kurtz’s material.
Please read Obama Nation and The Case Against Obama. Pretty scary stuff.

It will never happen. The MSM is doing its absolute best to 'spike' the Obama/Ayers story.

TV stations won't even air the TV (What do we know about Obama) ad anymore.

Hannity is the only one actively pursuing Ayers (as he is the one most responsible for having pursued the Wright story too)!

Investor’s Business Daily thus far has outshone the Wall Street Journal regarding its probing editorials and commentaries on the lack of qualifications and shady relationships of Obama.

Bloomberg has acted like the rest of MSM-—see no evil, hear no evil-—therefore Bloomberg writes no evil.

I do question the patriotism of Barack Hussein Obama, because for 20 years he had gone to his mentor's’ church, who had commanded that “God damn America!” America is the country of my birth, the Land that I love. Jeremiah Wright is the mentor and pastor of Obama’s church for 20 years!
America needs God's protection, as we see our nation pushed into Sodom. Barack Omama is trying to shove us in that direction, and I do not want to go.
