As Fears Ease, Baghdad Sees Walls Tumble
NYT tries and fails to turn Iraq success into failure. Sounds a lot like the Democrats but I repeat myself.
Meet Obama's spiritual mentors Rev. Wright, Meeks and Pfleger
"The God Factor" ?
Ayers, Rezko and Kilpatrick are good friends of Obama too.
"GG:Do you have people in your life that you look to for guidance?
OBAMA:Well, my pastor [Rev. Wright] is certainly someone who I have an enormous amount of respect for.
I have a number of friends who are ministers. Reverend Meeks is a close friend and colleague of mine in the state Senate. Father Michael Pfleger is a dear friend, and somebody I interact with closely.
GG:Those two will keep you on your toes.
OBAMA:And theyr’e good friends. Because both of them are in the public eye, there are ways we can all reflect on what’s happening to each of us in ways that are useful.
I think they can help me, they can appreciate certain specific challenges that I go through as a public figure."
Ayers, Rezko and Kilpatrick are good friends of Obama too.
CNN - Obama lying about Ayers
Yes, that CNN.
Read the whole thing.
"But the relationship between Obama and Ayers went deeper, ran longer and was more political than Obama -- and his surrogates -- have revealed, documents and interviews show."
Read the whole thing.
Obama's Weathermen pals should worry voters
Yes, they should.
"No wonder Obama has been so evasive about his ties to Ayers and Dohrn. His relationship with these extreme Leftists goes far beyond waving at some folks who live nearby. It defies belief that Obama never learned that Ayers and Dohrn hated the USA and loved TNT.
Obama chaired the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, which Ayers inaugurated. They jointly attended at least seven of that charity's top-level oversight meetings between March 1995 and September 1997. They jointly met a dozen times as board members of Chicago's Woods Fund between December 1999 and December 2002. They appeared together on two academic panels in 1997 and 2002. Obama concisely reviewed one of Ayers' books in the Chicago Tribune.
Ayers and Dohrn invited Windy City liberals into their living room to meet Obama when he began his 1995 State Senate run. Ayers donated $200 to re-elect Obama in 2001.
These considerable ties might be irrelevant if Ayers and Dohrn regretted their actions. But they are far from remorseful.
"I don't regret setting bombs. I feel we didn't do enough," Ayers said in an interview published Sept. 11, 2001 -- while Obama knew Ayers. That August, Ayers posed for a Chicago Magazine photo in which he stomped on an American flag crumpled in the dirt. Headline: "No regrets."
Judge rules Ohio Democrat Secretary of State violated federal election law
Democrats trying to steal this election. Be sure and watch the videos.
Obama Said He Thought Ayers Had Been Rehabilitated
You want a president that makes those kind of assumptions? Besides, it contradicts a lot we already know of Obama and Ayers. Read the whole thing.
Who is Barack Obama? Part II
People are starting to find out and no thanks to the left wing media.
"Democratic Socialists of America, New Party, William Ayers, Bernadine Dohrn, ACORN, Rev. Wright, Frank Marshall Davis, Tony Rezko — so many questions for the most liberal member of the senate, so little time."

Obama friend Dohrn suspect in 30-Y.O. Unsolved SF Murders
I don't think there's a statute of limitations on murder. Dohrn is married to Obama's mentor, terrorist Bill Ayers.
"And now, sources tell us, those investigators have identified potential suspects: former members of two militant groups in the '60s and '70s -- the Weather Underground and the Black Liberation Army, people who've been out of the spotlight for decades. The most prominent among them is Bernadine Dohrn, a former leader of the Weather Underground and now a law professor at Northwestern University in Illinois. "
ACORN Voter Fraud Investigations Underway in Key Swing State of Ohio
Democrats going all out to steal this election.
"The state of Ohio and the heavily Democratic area of Cuyahoga County are yet again embroilled in elections controversy. Claims from area residents that they have been hounded by the community activist group ACORN to register to vote multiple times have sparked an investigation by election officials into ACORN, whose political wing has supported Barack Obama."
Allies of Palestinians see a friend in Barack Obama
The LA Times reports.
Which explains why Palestinians manning phone banks in Gaza for Obama.
Hugh has much more.
"CHICAGO -- It was a celebration of Palestinian culture -- a night of music, dancing and a dash of politics. Local Arab Americans were bidding farewell to Rashid Khalidi, an internationally known scholar, critic of Israel and advocate for Palestinian rights, who was leaving town for a job in New York.
A special tribute came from Khalidi's friend and frequent dinner companion, the young state Sen. Barack Obama. Speaking to the crowd, Obama reminisced about meals prepared by Khalidi's wife, Mona, and conversations that had challenged his thinking."

Obama's excutive experience takes a hit - video
Listen as Obama claims his campaign experience trumps Palin's executive experience. note how he uses her mayoral experience and leaves out her Governorship. As Governor she had 29,000 employees and a budget of $10 billion. Now you know why he left that part out.
If Obama wants to use his campaign as proof of his executive bona fides - so be it.

"Obama aides who deal with the national reporters on the campaign plane are often overwhelmed, overworked and un-informed about where, when, why or how the candidate is moving about. Baggage calls are preposterously early with the explanation that it’s all for security reasons.
If so, I would love to have someone from Obama’s campaign explain why the entire press corps, the Secret Service, and the local police idled for two hours in a Miami hotel parking lot recently because there was nothing to do and nowhere to go. It was not an isolated case …
The McCain campaign plane is better than Obama’s, which is cramped, uncomfortable and smells terrible most of the time. Somehow the McCain folks manage to keep their charter clean, even where the press is seated. "

Why has Obama paid ACORN $800,000?
Good question.
"For starters, Obama paid ACORN, which has endorsed him for president, $800,000 to register new voters, payments his campaign failed to accurately report. (They were disguised in his FEC disclosure as payments to a front group called Citizen Services Inc. for “advance work.”)

What do Obama, ACORN and vote fraud have in common?
Read the whole thing.
Who trained these thugs?
"That’s where ACORN came in. As an advocate of the poor, ACORN wanted RTC’s foreclosed homes and apartment buildings to be made available for free housing, rather than sold for market value to recover taxpayer funds. To make their point, instead of jawboning with Congress where the RTC mandates were made, they demonstrated and intimidated at RTC offices.
In our office in King of Prussia, Pa., for a time we had police officers on site to escort staff to and from their cars to reduce the chance of violence to their person or automobile by ACORN thugs."
Who trained these thugs?
"What about Obama? His involvement with ACORN began in the early 1990s in training staff and providing legal representation. ACORN’s political action committee has endorsed him and is now working to support his campaign."
When did Obama know about Ayers terrorist background?
We still don't have an answer to that question.
So, did he know who Ayers was when he went to his home in 1995?
"My understanding is that when he went there, he did not," Axelrod said.
Reporters noticed that clause -- "my understanding is" -- and pressed further. Did Axelrod ask Obama if he knew Ayers' history when he first met with him?
"Yes," Axelrod said.
And he did not know?
"Yes," Axelrod said. "That's what I've said -- I answered the question when I was asked the other day. But no one's suggesting that he never knew. I mean that's not -- we weren't offering that. I wasn't offering it -- I was asked a question that you just asked me and just answered it. I wasn't making an argument about it."
Obama and Dems committing massive vote fraud
Let's hope they all go to jail.
Remember, the Democrats tried to put funding in the bail out bill for ACORN.

Teachers to spy on 'suspicious' pupils radicalised by Islam
These are kids we're talking about. Which begs the question, who is radicalizing them? Mom and Dad at home? Imams at mosque?
Bombshell! Obama team admits he knew Ayers was a terrorist!
Now McCain and Palin can really hammer Obama.
So, Obama knew Ayers was a terrorist all along! Ayers has said he was proud of his terrorist past and wished he had bombed more. To this day Obama has not renounced Ayers.
"The Obama campaign raised some eyebrows the other day by suggesting that Obama didn't know who Bill Ayers was, and David Axelrod clarified a bit today, Carrie Budoff Brown reports. He said Obama didn't know about Ayers' background when he attended a meet-and-greet at his house in advance of his first state Senate race, but he learned afterward.
"It was sometime after their first meeting that he became aware of it. I don’t know the exact moment," Axelrod said. "The fact is a lot of people who didn’t live through that era, particularly who didn’t live through that era in Chicago. When he came to Chicago, Ayers was advising Mayor Daley on school reform issues. That was his profile, was that he was an expert on education issues."
"No one is suggesting he never knew," Axelrod said."
So, Obama knew Ayers was a terrorist all along! Ayers has said he was proud of his terrorist past and wished he had bombed more. To this day Obama has not renounced Ayers.
NYT - Obama "pawn of professional organizers"
Some things never change.
"He begins an apprenticeship at the Altgeld Gardens public housing project in Chicago, but he quickly becomes the pawn of professional organizers, intent on profiteering from money gouged out of the city budget."
Why Won’t Obama Talk About Columbia?
Good question. Someone should ask Obama.
This is why the Obama Ayers connection is important and what McCain should be hammering him on.
"Be clear on that much: Whether clothed as a terrorist or an academic, Ayers has made abundantly clear in his public statements, both before and after he established a working relationship and mutual admiration society with Obama, that he remains a revolutionary fueled by hatred of the United States. And while Obama now ludicrously pleads ignorance about Ayers’s terrorism — the terrorism that made the unabashed Ayers an icon of the Left — understand that this rabid anti-Americanism is the common denominator running through Obama’s orbit of influences.
Yes, Ayers is blunter than Obama. As he so delicately told the Times, America makes him “want to puke.” The smoother Obama is content to say our society needs fundamental “change.” But what they’re talking about is not materially different."
This is why the Obama Ayers connection is important and what McCain should be hammering him on.
Obama illegal money from abroad could total $3.3 million
Is there no scandal that Obama isn't involved in?
Un huh. What's Obama hiding?
"The $3.3 million total does not include donors who have given less than $200 and whose contributions do not have to be itemized. Some of that money could also have come from overseas. About half of Obama's $455 million in contributions so far are unitemized. The campaign does not identify those donors."
Un huh. What's Obama hiding?
Obama's Real Problem With Ayers
This is why the Obama Ayers connection matters.
"At an education forum in Venezuela, Bill Ayers showed the real issue is not his terrorist past. It's the socialist revolutionary agenda that he and Barack Obama want to impose on the nation's schools."

LA Times - Obama "poor political judgment and lack of moral imagination"
LA Times tries to downplay Obama and Ayers connection.
But isn't the heart of the matter, as the Times puts it, "Obama displayed not just poor political judgment but a lack of moral imagination in associating with Ayers..." In other words Obama should have known better. Let's not forget Obama allied himself with Ayers and Dhorn over 20 years. This is especially true in light of Ayer's comments that he wished he could have bombed more.
And it's shouldn't we add in Rev. Wright, Rezko and others? Taken altogether they show a serious lack of political and moral judgement on the part of Obama.

Newsweek compares Palin to Jackson, Lincoln, Truman, Eisenhower, Johnson,
Ford, Carter, Reagan and Clinton. Tim Blair explains.
"The article, by Jon Meacham, is … odd:
One page later:
"The article, by Jon Meacham, is … odd:
Jackson, Lincoln, Truman, Eisenhower, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan and Clinton were born to ordinary families, but they spent their lives doing extraordinary things, demonstrating an interest in, and a curiosity about, the world around them. This is much less evident in Palin’s case.
One page later:
The unease with Palin is not class-based. It is empirically based. She is a rising political star, a young woman—she is only 44—who has done extraordinary things."
Obama's allies
These are people Obama choose to surround himself with.
"Jeremiah Wright, Father Michael Pfleger, William Ayers, and Antoin Rezko are not just people who happened to be at the same place at the same time as Barack Obama. They are people with whom he chose to ally himself for years, and with some of whom some serious money changed hands."
Obama unaware of US terrorists
Blimey! If Obama didn't even know about home grown terrorists he was working with, how's he going to protect America from other therrorists?
I think this dovetails nicely with my post from last night. If true, apparently being a former leader of a terrorist group dedicated to the violent overthrow of the US isn't remarkable in the political millieu Obama hails from.
More Bogus Obama Donors Surface
More scandal for Obama.
"CBS News has learned that two donors to the Obama campaign that gave a total of $7,722 appear to have made their contributions under fake names that look like they were written by a mouse running across a keyboard: Dahsudhu Hdusahfd of Df, Hawaii with the following employer CZXVC/ZXVZXV and Uadhshgu Hduadh listed as living in Dhff, Florida listed their employer as DASADA/SAFASF.
CBS News did not find any records of these last names, towns or employers anywhere else. Newsweek reported two questionable Obama donors over the weekend named “Doodad Pro” and “Good Will”. "
