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.
You can listen to the audio HERE, courtesy of Politico.
"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."
So he really IS that STUPID.
You know what they say about those who assume don't you?

Ping to another lame Obambi excuse.
The Ayers question is catching fire.
In order to believe that someone had been rehabilitated you would need to believe they needed to be rehabilitated. I thought Hussein barely knew the guy???
Obama is so full of it.
Apparently no-one pronounces their "g's" on the end of verbs out there.
Yes, and I’m sure he thought the Reverrrrund Wrong had been too. What a putz.
This is always the pattern with Barry. He wasn’t there or he wasn’t aware.
“nd his middle name is being invoked at events for Sen. John McCain,”
Surreal.
If he’s offended by that,
“Barack Hussain Obama is a murtad fitri”.
Why shouldn’t we use his middle name? If this Stalininst gets into the White House, there will be an ever-growing list of things we cannot say.
Obama and Ayers are political soul mates.
He did so without knowing you?
You think we just got in town by watermelon truck last night.
Sorry, Barack, but don’t talk like a fellow Kansan.
” I was raised by my mom who was from Kansas, which is why I’ve got a Kansas-sounding accent…”
Obama is a pathological liar.
He tries to imply that he was raised by his mother..in Kansas.
In Kansas, they do not call Pakistan -Pockeyston.
And Obama wasn’t raised by his mother..but, by his mother and Muslim stepfather in Indonesia
and then after being abandoned by his mother,
he was raised by his typical white people grandparents in Hawaii.
I’ve been in Kansas, even lived there for a while.
I never heard anyone say “Pocky-ston”.
Drags Reagan into it? Wow.
Guilty as sin, free as a bird, is what he said, then went on about America.
This guy keeps digging a deeper and deeper hole for himself. He didn’t know Ayers had done those bombings, but at the same time he assumed Ayers had been rehabilitated? Rehabilitated from what, Mr. Obama?

Nice try. Now who is trying to deflect the issue? Ayers, ok so now your excuse is you THOUGHT he was rehabilitated. Right....wonder how your going to deal with the Odinga video coming next. Oh and ACORN, Rezko....let’s see Arafat’s buddy.....OH and your name that you chose to change to from Barry Solero....is an Arab name....maybe YOU WANT to be ARAB...unless it costs you this election.
Smerconish, conservative? He’s been pulling for Obama for months.
I didn’t know there was such a thing as a Kansas accent. And I’m a Kansan!
