Ayers and Obama share the same radical agenda. Obama has to do things as president to keep up the facade that he's not like Ayers until more of the radical agenda gets locked in place. Ayers knows this, but each must play their role in the revolution.

Not to agree with Clarence Page (ugh!), but Ayers is a "no retreat/no surrender" radical's radical. He's been trashing Dem Presidents along with Republicans for as long as I can remember, for not fulfilling his Marxist fantasies.

I don't think it's an act. He expected better from Obama, and well he should have, for the investment he made in him.

I hope he self-combusts.

Oh, yeah, like we’re going to believe Obama is now more aligned with conservatives than the radical left. I am a conservative and the mother of a Marine who will be leaving in January for Afghanistan. If Obama was truly serious about ending this war, he would send in MORE troops, PRONTO. I heard Admiral this morning say 30,000 troops over 12 MONTHS!!! With most being in place by this summer. What kind of a surge is that? Didn’t I hear Obama say “swift” “fast” surge in early next year. McChrystal said in August that in 12 months we’ll have lost. I understand that an effective counterinsurgency would require 400,000 troops. We’re no where near that even with Nato and Afghan forces. Pray for our troops.

I have often said that one of the worst insults is to PRETEND to agree with someone! If someone pretends to agree with me or insists that I must agree with them to be friends they are no friend of mine. The very few people I have considered true friends during my life have never hesitated to disagree with me, often to the point of heated exchanges.

"I dump Barack Obama every morning."

"Taking an Obama" is becoming a part of the lexicon...

As the late George Carlin put it, "You don't take 'em, you leave 'em."

Obama and Ayers share an ivy-league professor radical-left ideology, but Obama is not tenured... though I imagine he had hopes of being the first tenured president.

If Ayers publicly criticizes Obama, it will most likely have the desired of effect of helping the president’s approval ratings. The wise are not so easily misled.

Ayers is just upset he isn’t getting any royalties off the book he ghost wrote :)
