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.

"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."
Did you all know that Osama bin Laden has been living quietly and peacefully for many years now, eating organic goat meat and northern Pakistan home grown vegetables? He knits prayer caps, plays with babies, and is about 99% fully rehabilitated.
So everything is cool now.
Earlier he said he didn’t know about Ayers past. Now he assumes he was rehabed.
The pathological liar Obama just keeps spinning.
Wow, some conservative Michael Smerconish is. No wonder Obama went on this guy's show.
The Ayers question is catching fire.

Where does he think Ayres went to be rehabilitated? Camp Obama?
Redherring? Racist!
You should have said turnip truck. The O goons will be gunning for you now. LOL
No, those are the houses in Detroit on fire the night before Halloween.
LMAO! WOO HOO!
"The wind began to... uh... twitch. The house... uh... I believe... to pitch... And suddenly, if, uh, I'm not mistaken... the hinges started to, uh, um, unhitch. Just then... um, I believe, the Witch... to satisfy, um, what may have been, an itch..."
He did say he was going with the Dodgers, didn’t he?
I wonder why, experience?
I thought Hussein never knew Ayers did anything. Wasn’t he just a “guy in his neighborhood”?
Hussein is beginning to dig a hole.
Conservative radio host? LOLOL
Yeah, but he knows how to vote present.
I think he took lessons from ol’ Slick Willy.
If you can deny it, do so. Even if you can’t, do it anyway.
Doesn't that just drive you crazy? I guess we should be glad we don't live in England, where Little Barry Soetero Narcissist would go absolutely mad with fancy accents and bespoke Edwardian tailoring. Perhaps a cape, top hat, cane and gloves. If he thought he could get away with it here, he'd dress like "Sportin' Life".
Mr. Obama, why would you think the terrorist Ayers would need rehabilitation, when you said you didn’t know anything about his past? You said he was a professor when you met.
So, how’s that again, Obama? “I assumed Bill Ayers, who is just an acquaintance about whom I know next to nothing, had been rehabilitated.”
