Thanks John, saved me the reply.
Likwid, I can only tell you how I feel personally. I knew some shady characters growing up, kids that were involved in things I didnt believe in. I hung with a pretty wild crowd so these people were pretty out there. i chose not to hang around with people because they werent what I was about, sometimes at the expense of being a wimp in my friends eyes.
Obama, TO ME, as a reflection of his character has associated with people that are reprehensible. I do know what Ayers did and stand for, I actually did a presentation in High School on the Weather Underground, a POSITIVE, presentation. But now that I have matured I see the flaw in this behavior. Obama should have as well and should have avoided Ayers and Wright.
I do not think "pal around" is beyond any of the stretchs either candidate is throwing out there on the issues.

McCain 'palled around' with Friggin Keating, another wallet grabber of the deregulation kind.
Which is worse enemy of the people an anarchist or one that has the laws bent to their benefit so they can profit off of the unwashed masses?

Jimmy, Obama only associated with Ayers decades after this behavior!
Your analogy is moot!

No its not, its a judgement call. Obama should have shown better judgement. He is a politician and must understand the implications of his actions and associations. |

Totally farking bad judgement. Should have used the Bud Airship instead.

Imho, pretty much a tie.
I think the McCaine proposal to use 300 billion, if it is taken from the 700 billion rescue plan,
to reduce real estate values to true values by paying the difference in troubled mortgages to equalize the market is worth looking at.
When it comes to Obama's associations with Ayers, Rev. Wrigth, Father Flager and other questionables,
i like the old addage, "birds of a feather flock together."

I know something has to be done, but like a fool I've been paying my mortgage payments in full and on time. It  burns me up to know some of those who haven't , will get a new loan and reduced monthly payment.  |

Then explain to me, if this is so important, why Ayers wasn't seen as a person of great contraversy within the city of Chigago up until now?
He seems to actually have been quite respected in the community for his work and dedication.
Jimmy, you're being punked by a Karl Rove strawman.

Up until they GOP decided they could use him to smear Obama, he wasn't seen as a contraversial figure in Chicago...he was a pretty mainstream educational professor.
Do you think parents were letting their kids be educated by a terrorist?
What a joke.
