CLEARWATER, Fla. (AP) — Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin expanded her attack on Democrat Barack Obama's character Monday to include his relationship with an incendiary former pastor as well as his ties to 1960s-era radical Bill Ayers.

In the process, Palin toned down her description of the Obama-Ayers relationship after her weekend remarks were criticized as exaggerated, but at the same time she embarked on a discussion of Obama's relationship with his former pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr., which Republican presidential candidate John McCain had signaled he did not want to be a part of his campaign.

Obama said the following:

Obama: “This is not the man (Rev. Wright) that I knew.” Said after Rev. Wright went on his tirade at the National Press Club

Obama: “This is not the Tony Rezko I knew.”

Will Obama say “This is not the William Ayers that I knew?”

Your post would be a excellent way of bring into question Zeros judgment in a speech or debate. Someone should send it to the Campaign

Associated Press claims that Palin’s description of the Ayers/Obama relationship was “exaggerated.” She merely said they were “pals.” Seems clear that this description was understated considering that Ayers was Obama’s employer for four years. AP continues trying to cover-up the issue.

Maybe McCain and Palin can have readings from Obama’s own books at their rallies.
Class- please open to page 122 of Dreams from My Father and read along with me.

” Political discussions, the kind that at Occidental had once seemed so intense and purposeful ,
came to take on the flavor of the socialist conferences I sometimes attended at Cooper Union...”

Or perhaps playing some of Obama doing the readings about “ white man’s greed “ from the audio version.

Would love to hear that blaring from the loudspeakers.
And then Obama can say “ that’s not the Obama I knew “ !

Go get them Sarah!

America has been fighting communist influence for the better part of the 20th century. Monetary aid, military supplies, American’s best and brightest and American blood have been sacrificed to stamp out communism.

Obama spends our tax dollars to campaign for the communist challenger in the 2007 Kenya election. The challenger loses by more than 200,000 votes and his followers go on killing and looting rampages, one report of them burning Christians locked inside their church.

This leader, Rail Odinga signed a letter of understanding with the leading Islamic leader promising that if elected, he would abandon cooperation with the USA in extraditing suspected terrorists.

Who’s who of American enemies are cheering the potential election of the “chosen one”. Chavez, Castro, Kim Jong il.
