In an interview with conservative Philadelphia radio talk show host Michael Smerconish today, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., said his relationship with William Ayers is being questioned and his middle name is being invoked at events for Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., and Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin to distract voters from the economy.

"This is a red herring," Obama said of the Ayers story," because people don't want to talk about the fact that economy over the last eight years has been mismanaged to the point that we're teetering on a really, really bad situation.
Smerconish asked about the myriad Republicans at McCain-Palin events this week who referred to "Barack Hussein Obama."
"I don't think there's any secret about this," Obama said. "My father was from Kenya so I've got an Arab-sounding name, and I think most people know that I was raised by my mom who was from Kansas, which is why I've got a Kansas-sounding accent…When people are purposely doing this in connection with a theme the McCain campaign's decided they want to pursue in the past few weeks, which is to go after me personally, in some pretty aggressive ways, then, you know they're trying to distract from the economy."
Rehabilitated? LOLOLOLOL
Yeah Conservative radio host? RIIIIIGHT. Along with that Kansas sounding accent... uhuh.
John McCain wears the flag on his soul. Obama’s pal Bill Ayers wears the flag on his sole.
I am sure he does, especially if he is nice enough to Osama to give him something like a Cabinet position.
I thought I heard Smerconish say a couple of months ago that he had flipped for Obama.
Rehabilitated? That’s the problem with all liberals, they think all evil people can be rehabilitated from child predators to terrorists and various criminals in between.
I think he should go share power over in Kenya with his cousin and the legitimate leadership there.
Sure. All Kansans say "PAH-AH-STAHN" and "TAHL-EE-BAHN".
Uh, wait a minute. First 0bama said that he didn’t know about Ayers’ terrorist crimes. Now he’s saying he assumed that Ayers had been rehabilitated. If Obama didn’t know about Ayers’ crimes, they why would Ayers need rehabilitating?
I call BS!
Spot on!
Obama is such a LIAR!!! And so dang ARROGANT! I didn’t think I could despise a politician more than Bill and Hill, but this guy takes the cake!
People often comment on my accent (more when I was younger). They ask me where I am from (and this is people FROM Kansas). I have lived in east central Kansas all my life.
Wait...I thought he was raised by his grandmom in Hawaii.
Did anyone catch a glimpse of the empty suit’s-comrade in arms, on Larry King? Larry asked her point blank about the unrepentant terrorist, and she hemmed and casually lied that all of Chicago knew him as advocate for children’s education. Leaving the sheeple to believe that their connection was nothing personal in nature but short and professional at best. They have a word for it: Ella es un mentiroso grande./Just Asking - seoul62.......
” I guess we should be glad we don’t live in England, where Little Barry Soetero Narcissist would go absolutely mad with fancy accents and bespoke Edwardian tailoring. “
Actually... A few months ago, Laura Ingraham said she had it on good authority, from a political operative she trusted that at one point-Barry did speak with an English accent.
She hoped that there was a recording somewhere.
That’s the first and last I heard of it.
