It’s about time this came out. Here in SoCal, Kevin James played this audio clip on his radio show last night. It was AMAZING! Obama was over-the-top praising Kwame, still another loser/criminal who’s in bed with Obama.

Hope Hannity, Levin, Rush, etc., spread the work.

That is a fantastic ad!

Whoops! There goes another one under Obama’s bus. It must be getting crowded under there.

I saw this ad and, while the “guilt by association” message is clear, I’d like to know if Obama did business with this guy or something. Personally, I think the Obama-Ayers ads were a lot more effective because they really had the Obama camp squealing. More ads tying him to Rezko would probably be better, IMO.

The newspaper said Brent Colburn, Obama's Michigan spokesman, has dismissed the ad as "the same old desperate, cynical Washington-style political attacks."

LOL, as opposed to Obama's fiends of "hope and change."

“That is not change, come on,” Obama continued. “I mean, words mean something. You can’t just make stuff up."

I don't know if this is worth making a big deal about.

If some mayor that GWB loved was in big-time trouble we would be running around saying that Bush had nothing to do with his troubles.

There are far bigger fish to fry with Obama (that's not racist, is it?)

If association has no place in vetting; why have any RICO prosecutions?

DNC pledges to remove RICO tool from police.

It’s just that EVERY association that BHO has is bad.

KILPATRICK , OBAMA TRADE COMPLIMENTS
Detroit Free Press (MI) - May 8, 2007
Author: ZACHARY GORCHOW, FREE PRESS STAFF WRITER
We get along just fine, thank you, Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick and U.S. Sen. Barack Obama said during Obama ‘s appearance Monday in Detroit as they took pains to quell a mini-flap.

The Free Press, citing unidentified people in the two men's camps, reported Monday that Obama and Kilpatrick had a prickly phone conversation in advance of Obama ‘s speech to the Detroit Economic Club.

On Monday, both men said there was only some good-natured banter between them.

During that call, Kilpatrick supposedly asked whether Obama would be comfortable standing in public next to a 6-foot-4 black guy from Detroit.

Obama reportedly said he could handle it, but the mayor needed to lose the earring - a reference to the diamond stud Kilpatrick once wore.

Kilpatrick , introducing Obama to the luncheon crowd, said the two go back to when Obama first ran for the Illinois Senate and Kilpatrick helped his campaign.

“The relationship is one that I believe continues to be positive, strong,” Kilpatrick said.

Kilpatrick has not endorsed a presidential candidate yet, but was effusive in praising Obama .

Obama returned the warm words, saying Kilpatrick is doing an “outstanding job.”

The Obama/Wright/Kilpatrick Collision

Two percent. That’s the percent of voters outside the “Motor City” that have a favorable impression of embattled Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick. You don’t have to be a pollster to understand how strongly disliked Kilpatrick is throughout Michigan.

Sit in any restaurant or bar, and all you hear is people talking about Kilpatrick’s troubles. Indicted in March on eight felony counts for committing perjury during a whistleblower trial that eventually cost the city about $9 million, the Mayor spent one night in jail on August 7th for violating his bond and then was arraigned the next day for a new crime. In the latest charges, Kilpatrick is accused of assaulting two sheriff’s deputies as they were trying to serve one of his close friends with a subpoena.

And, what does this have to do with Barack Obama? Although Kilpatrick has distanced himself from Obama and Obama has distanced himself from Kilpatrick, they are both inextricably linked to Rev. Jeremiah Wright. And, that is Obama’s problem.

Not only does Obama have to overcome Wright’s fiery rhetoric, he has to overcome the Kilpatrick connection, too. Kilpatrick’s tremendous unpopularity has fueled latent and sometime blatant racism among Michigan voters, the last thing Obama needs in a key state less than three months before the election.

“Obama’s Michigan spokesman, has dismissed the ad as “the same old desperate, cynical Washington-style political attacks.”

I wonder if Custer had similar thoughts and ramblings....”the same old desperate... attacks.”

Truth be known, I have far more respect for General Custer. ;>)
