Obama, as president, will meet with many people, leaders of other countries, who have done, or believe things that obama, and our country as a whole do not agree with. But you have to be able to sit down and talk to someone and listen to someone whose opinions differ from yours

Did I miss where Bill Ayers was elected the head of some state?

If you don’t understand the difference between conducting foreign policy with heads of state and being friendly with a civilian who doesn’t regret acts of terrorism against his own country, there really isn’t any point in debating with you.

But you have to be able to sit down and talk to someone and listen to someone whose opinions differ from yours. Most conservative republican americans lack that ability, which is why they will never understand or accept anyone unlike themselves. Like Ayers said, you have to be able to talk to people from all walks of life, and still see things for yourself. Obama is of a strong character and he is diplomatic. Whatever his relationship with Ayers, he is a man who will form his own opionions based on intelligence and his own brain. And besides, i’d rather hear what Ayers has to say raher than “Joe the Plumber” anyday.

Tim McGarry writes: “I believe Obama has been reasonably frank in discussing the relationship.”

And I’m wondering just how anyone would be able to write that with a straight face?

Never in the history of American politics have we elected a President with such abhorrent credentials. Not only is his genetic heritage a complete disaster, his ethical chronology is a nightmare of America damning, flag stomping, moral degenerates like Reverend Jeremiah Wright and William Ayers but also includes convicted felons like another of his mentors, Tony Rezko. This guy is genetic “trash” just as was vividly documented in “Obama’s Mama”

Ayers still call himself a “revolutionary communist” and he supports the Chavez dictatorship
in Venezuela,

These days ayers promotes revolutionary communism by bringing even more ant-Americanism and “blame whitey” into K-12 nationwide in his role as an “respected” educator. Is there any objective evidence that Ayers ever did anything to improve education anywhere? Certainly not in the CAC. But Ayers and his kind aren’t really concerned about test scores.

Just like Clinton didn’t inhale, Obama didn’t actually eat those commie muffins when he was socializing with Ayers! What a bunch of leftist illuminati garbage!

“I don’t believe Ayers exerts any significant influence over him.”

Tim – Thanks for the response and your views on the Weathermen. From my perspective it is debatable whether or not Ayers has any influence over Obama. I’m nor going to quibble over words like significant. What does not seem debatable, as I mentioned earlier, is that they share similar views, along with Rev. Wright, on social justice and education. I would refer you to the excellent investigative work done by Steve Diamond and Stanley Kurtz for information about that, work which Obama attempted to supress during the campaign. Why did Obama try to have that information supressed Tim?

I believe Obama has been reasonably frank in discussing the relationship.

I believe in Santa Claus.

I don’t believe Ayers exerts any significant influence over him.

Despite the fact that this is a complete strawman ...
