It's interesting that Obama not only was associated with and sponsored radical organizations (and was politically funded by them), but could NOT even manage them competently.

Ultimately, Ayers doesn't matter because the left think he's cool, and moderates of voting age probably remember their radical chic days with a certain amount of nostalgia.

Here's what McCain SHOULD hammer on, what I call "The Litany":

Senator Obama was given the opportunity to attend the prestigious Occidental College in Southern California, and he dropped out.

He was accepted to the prestigious Columbia University in New York, and we don't know what he accomplished because he refuses to disclose his transcripts.

He went to Chicago to become a community organizer and quit because, in his own words, "I wasn't accomplishing anything."

He was then accepted to the very prestigious Harvard Law School. We don't know what he accomplished there because he refuses to release his transcripts.

He was then named Editor-in-Chief for the Harvard Law Review, the most renowned law review in the country, and didn't write a single article.

He was then accepted to the post of Senior Lecturer at the prestigious University of Chicago. There again, he didn't write a single article.

As board member of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, he was responsible for disbursing over $100 million to improve Chicago's public schools. By the projects own admission, the money accomplished nothing.

As Illinois State Senator, he voted present 194 times and didn't have a single note-worthy piece of legislation to his name.

As US Senator, he hasn't once called a meeting of the one commission that he chairs.

When forced to take a postion, Senator Obama has consistantly chosen the wrong one.

When given a chance to vote to save infants born alive after an abortion, he voted against it.

When given the chance to take money from the "Bridge to Nowhere" and give it the victims of Katrina, he voted against it.

When given a chance to vote for the successful surge in Iraq, he voted against it.

When given the chance to condemn Russia's invasion of Georgia, he chose not to.

When given the chance to take a stand on the economic crisis currently facing us, he chose to "wait and see". "Call me if you need me." He said.

Never in the history of our Republic has a candidate for President been given so many opportunities and accomplished so little with them.

Do you really believe that if given the opportunity to lead this great nation he will all of the sudden start doing better?

You can vote for hope, and you can vote for change, but you can't simply hope for change.

Each school could have added an additional teacher indefinitely just on the interest alone, without touching the principal, but the goal was not learning but indoctrination, and that never did a whole lot for one’s critical thinking skills...

actual executive experience that Obama has chosen to avoid highlighting

WE NEED TO CHANGE THE BILL AYERS ARGUMENT NOW.....The current approach to the Bill Ayers “connection” or “association” is a WEAK ARGUMENT at best on a country that is absolutely drunk on Obama’s Kool-Aid. In other words, the McCain Campaign and the GOP is taking the wrong approach to this. A MUCH MORE EFFECTIVE APPROACH EXISTS AND MUST BE EXECUTED BY BOTH THE GOP AND MCCAIN CAMPAIGNS. THERE IS A SMOKING GUN THAT IS SITTING RIGHT UNDER ALL OF OUR NOSES.

The smoking gun that will resonate with both undecided pure independents, conservative democrats and moderate republicans (where this race will be won or lost) is with the Bill Ayers issue, specifically the Chicago Anneberg Challenge. The current approach is to call Obama on his lie that Ayers was just a “guy that lives in his neighborhood”....we all know the rest of the story. Although this resonates with we conservatives, it has been and will continue to be rebuked by Obama and he can just point to it being a right wing conspiracy theory or smear campaign...this argument is going on deaf ears of the masses that are inebriated on Obama KooAid.

HOWEVER THERE IS NO, ABSOLUTELY NO REBUKING AN ARGUMENT BASED ON FACTS THAT WILL CALL INTO QUESTION “WHAT OBAMA WILL DO” WITH THE MASSIVE FEDERAL EDUCATION BUDGET. Here’s how the McCain Campaign and GOP ads should go......Throw out all arguments relating to the amount of time and meetings Ayers and Obama spent together.

The ad should then talk about “Walter Annenberg’s foundation offering several hundred million dollars to American public schools in the mid-’90s, and William Ayers appling for $50 million for Chicago. The purpose of his application was to secure funds to “raise political consciousness” in Chicago’s public schools. After he won the grant, Ayers’s group (NOT AYERS HIMSELF....Obama keeps pointing to this fact and it should be irrelevant in the context of this argument anyway) chose Barack Obama to distribute the money, as the Chairman of the Board.

It should highlight that this was actual executive experience that Obama has chosen to avoid highlighting. WHY WOULD OBAMA PURPOSELY HIDE ACTUAL EXECUTIVE EXPERIENCE.....UNLESS HE HAD SOMETHING TO HIDE. HERE’S WHY AND WHAT HE HAD TO HIDE: Between 1995 and 1999, Obama distributed the $50 million and raised another $60 million from other civic groups to augment it. In doing so, he was following Ayers’s admonition (regardless of Ayers continued involvement) to grant the funds to “external” organizations, like American Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) to pair with schools and conduct programs to radicalize the students and politicize them.

Regardless of the fact that Ayers played a lesser role after the founding in 1995, Barack Obama carried out Ayers vision throughout the entire tenure of his involvement (i.e. pumping money into left wing groups to “radicalize students.”) THIS IS WHAT OBAMA WAS HIDING......IS THIS THE TYPE OF EXPENDITURES AMERICA WANTS TO SEE IN THE FEDERAL EDUCATION APPROPRIATIONS IN AN OBAMA ADMINISTRATION?

We need to stop talking about his not being able to lead and start talking about his vision for change’s being the WRONG KIND OF CHANGE. THE INEBRIATED OBAMA DISCIPLES NEED TO BE CAREFUL WHAT THEY ARE ASKING FOR....THEY JUST MIGHT GET IT.....AND THEY NEED TO QUESTION THIS. If they start to question why Obama purposely hid actual executive experience, they will start to question his BS arguments about deregulation causing the current financial crisis, etc. etc. etc.

Hmmmmmmmm, think a second about the Annenberg Project.

Bill Ayers recommended Barry Obama for the executive position, right?

A person with any sense (and Bill Ayers must have some because he’s guilty as sin yet walks the earth as if he’s vindicated) doesn’t recommend a total unknown for a position such as the Annenberg Project. Ergo, Bill Ayers and Barry Obama met prior to his lofty position with the Annenberg Project. The most logical point in time would be in NYC when Barry moved there to attend Columbia since Bill lived just two blocks from Barry’s apartment.

Ah Ha. Caught again in his “just someone in my neighborhood” lie.

I’m sure there is SOMEONE from the old neighborhood that Obama’s goons (I quit being politically correct when I retired) did not contact and “persuasively discuss their future (none) if they talked to anyone about Barry” ... whatever his last name was back then.

The same guy whose own constituents were murdered in a year’s time on a level higher than US troops died in Iraq during a war?

THAT leader?

I wonder who got more of his earmarks over the years, law enforcement, or ACORN?

We have all seen candidates go down for far less than Obama has done – remember how Howard Dean fell of the radar in the 2004 primaries after the screaming incident in Iowa? A simple inappropriate celebration pushed a man out the running – but someone who could not even get a “security clearance” for a government job can somehow win the White House? How is this happening?
