Obama Addresses Ayers Controversy

[SparklestheClown]

The mainstream media failed totally at exposing his serious over 20 radical associations which were covered. This Ayers stomped on the American Flag, totally worked several times with Obama, and had a fundraiser in his home for the Pres. to launch his career. Worse, this Ayers was responsible for bombing deaths, and never got convicted, and teaches your children - Folks - we missed a serious boat on this one! Pure and Simple -

[Vic5245]

Wonder what ole Charlie thinks of this interview now? If I was him, I'd be totally embarrassed how stupid I was and am.

[steelersX01]

Plain and simply put barry.....you are a liar!!!

[audimanone]

BULL SHIT

Obama, WE KNOW WHO YOU ARE!

[StandardAI]

fuck all these neocon fox loving comments. Obama owns your shit and America would be a lot better off if the ignorant old ass republican dinosaurs would just fucking go extinct already and quit trying to hinder the progress our president is making.

[bayondai]

Obama's a fuckin embarressment!!!

[ToBeFree777]

Crook.

[airplanegeek11]

This guy is a smooth talking traitor!

[girlznguitarz]

Yeah Obama....will you ,let him babysit your daughters?

[cobraman96]

Its not an attack when its the truth! Something nobama knows nothing about!

[kimcliftrn]

You are a fucking thug obama and will go down for treason, Your days are numbered you LIAR

[Shay5590]

bush1tman: "If you voted for Obama you are a moron or a scumbag.".....

...So the majority of Americans are morons or scumbags? Obama is our president because the majority of Americans felt that he was the right guy for the job. We made it through 8 years of Bush...I think we can handle 4 years of Obama. If you don't like, you can leave.

[Shay5590]

There is a difference between the Left and the Right that you are overlooking. When the left protests Bush, they have good reasons for doing so (war, economic collapse, ignoring the constitution, etc.). When the Right protests the Obama, their only reasons are based on politics and prejudice (he's black, he's a democrat ). My side was justified in their actions. Your side is just full of a bunch of racists and political puppets.

[Shay5590]

Your side likes Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh. Your side pretends to care about the constitution. Your side projects their own racism on everyone else, including our president. Your side votes for Bush and Palin. I feel sorry for you.

[Shay5590]

I too am quite happy. However, I am worried by the fact that you and many others on "your side", listen to people like Rush Limbaugh. You listen to people who call our president a racist and compare his administration to the nazi party. It worries me when people just believe what they're told, instead of doing some research and forming their own beliefs. It worries me when "your side" listens to Limbaugh the way Germans listened to Hitler.

[Shay5590]

Limbaugh makes outrageous claims like "the president is a racist"...many right wingers listen to this garbage. Hitler made outrageous claims like "the Jews are the cause of all our problems"...many Germans listened to this garbage. This is what I meant when I said "your side" listens to Limbaugh the way Germans listened to Hitler. Genocide?! Are you taking crazy pills?

[Shay5590]

You can always tell when someone's argument is weak and they are running out of things to say...they start insulting the person they're arguing with. You call me a moron and yet you don't even know me. This speaks volumes about your own intelligence, or lack thereof.

If you had any common sense, we wouldn't be having this conversation.

[Shay5590]

If it's possible to sue someone for being ignorant, i'll see you in court.

[Shay5590]

Well that all depends on if the judge is an imbecile or not....and by imbecile I mean conservative. On the other hand, if the judge is a liberal, I suspect we would share a good laugh at your expense.

[Shay5590]

I wouldn't worry if the judge was a ny sort of liberal. However, I'd worry a great deal if he were a conservative. Waterboarding is scary stuff. Hopefully that "hot babe" doesn't have an average or better IQ. But if it's Sarah Palin or Ann Coulture, I'd say you've got a pretty good shot.

[Shay5590]

I am a NY lib. What I meant to say was "any lib" not "a ny lib". Nice try though.

[Shay5590]

Where I live is irrelevant. A liberal is a liberal. We are generally a well educated bunch who care a great deal about humanity. That's a lot more than I can say about conservatives these days. Most of them only care about their church and their guns......two things this world would be better off without.

[Shay5590]

You claiming that what I say is a lie, doesn't make it so. Try providing some evidence to support your claims.

Guns make it easier for people to commit crimes and kill people. The church doesn't kill anymore. Now they are too busy promoting ignorance and dumbing down society. According to the church, the world is 6000 years old, evolution and the fossil record are a hoax, and condoms are bad because they spread HIV.

World without church and guns = World with less crime and higher IQ's

[offhookie]

Obama even lies when he's trying to tell the truth. He goes around the questions too much without a direct response... no yes's and no no's, just a bunch of gibberish. Obama=fail.

Ron Paul 2012

[nelsongg5]

If Gibson asked me about Sarah Palin i would say.

Thanks to your interview i have no further comments on Sarah Palin, and i do not wish to discuss her for the rest of my campaign.

She is just so worthless to discuss.

[swinde]

The only person killed by the weathermen was another weatherman in a botched attack.

Can't say that about McCain or G.W. Bush.

He was never convicted og ANY crime and served on a board run by a Reagan supporter.

This is why McCain is losing. Bulls**t instead of substance.

[AcePilot101]

Obama is a fucking cunt. He could be America's Adolf Hitler. Ask Raila Odinga, Bill Ayers or Tony Razko.

[ThePatriotsMaxims]

Odd you would compare him to Adolph, since Hitler was a hard core conservative.

[MaskedMumblr]

Odd you would compare Adolf to conservatives, since N.A.Z.I. stands for National Socialist Party.

[ThePatriotsMaxims]

Maybe you should ask McCain about his friendship with Liddy. During the same period that Bill Ayers was a member of the Weather Underground, G. Gordon Liddy was making plans to firebomb a Washington think tank, assassinate a prominent journalist, undertake the Watergate burglary, break into the office of Daniel Ellsberg's psychiatrist, and kidnap anti-war protesters at the 1972 Republican convention.

Or his friendship with mobster and murder Joseph Bonanno

[Whatchagonado]

Why would Tony Razko or Billy Ayers say that Obama will be the next Adolf Hitler?

If you're trying to say that they support him, they would not compare him to Hitler if they wanted him to win.

Do you ever think these lies through before you tell them? That one doesn't even make sense.

It's interesting that you're a pilot because I'm reading that Ms. Palin is quite the COCK PIT.

[Spo8]

I love the guys just standing outside the window staring in.

Wait a minute, this comment was not nearly politically charged enough...

[adryenn]

I gotta say, that was very Presidential. He handled the questions well and despite the Uh's here and there, convinced me (and I'm not a Biden fan so Obama is going to have to work 100 times as hard to win my vote).

[nelsongg5]

Adryenn let me just say this, i respect your decision as an undecided, but look very closely at the McCain/Palin attacks and tactics.

It changes from rally to rally, from interview to interview. Unlike Obama/Biden, whereas they counter and respond to their accusations.

A campaign that changes almost everyday shows how weak and desperate they are.

Country first they say, uuhhh, no, presidency first then country (McCain/Palin).

[eyesonpeace]

Obamas slogan is "CHANGE"-- the only thing you can count on is that he will keep CHANGING his story.

And I wish someone would tell him a nominee for president should not say "Uh" in every sentence.

Palin is the worst candidate I've ever seen on a Presidential ticket.

Obama/Biden '08

If you don't think abortion is right, don't have one

[jramp3]

call a spade a spade - you want an anti-abortion vote. the term 'pro-life' ought to be reserved for people who actually serve the interests of life and the living. tell how the iraq war is pro-life. tell me how keeping 5mil children off health care is pro-life. there is more to life than the 9 months before birth, and if you want to call yourself pro-life, i suggest you support those whose policies actually speak to that.

[maharvey907]

The military in Iraq are protecting innocent life. I guess I am a ProInnocentLife person.

[jramp3]

maharvey, do you still think we went over there for any reason other than oil? you ought to familiarize yourself with the winter soldier stories, and the project for a new american century. the military in iraq is and has been protecting american oil interests.

[chevyman3367]

Obama does not spend his time talking about how he can resolve these problems that the americans face. He has not said anything about a solution to help the people out. This guy is bogus

[cmovbe]

Geeze Charlie why don't you just ask him if he'd like a BJ?

All these uhhh statements are made to uhhh score political points uhhh.

drrr No Obama.. theyre called "questions"?

Hellloooo? <<<--- see, THAT was a RGETORICAL question.

Was, Is Ayers your buddy? <---- THAT is a NON-rhetorical question.

k?

Now, heres where it get's complicated, CBS.. YOU ask Oblamer a NON-rhetorical question... and he then... stay with me... ANSWERS it!

SEE!? It's easy!

[MrsKermitTheFrog]

Ayers? like, "O hot damn, this is mah jam, keep me partyin to tha AM, yall dont undastand, make me throw mah hands in the ayers, ay ayers" ayers?

[crypto690]

lol, ayers goes to my school

[WilliamBrothers]

Obama danced around this and tried to hint at that Ayers was some how reformed; that it happened a long time ago and should have no impact on Obama. The fact is that Ayers was a terrorist and Obama had no problem knowing this guy despite it.

It's like having bin Ladin coming out of the cave in 20 years and using his knowledge and assets for education, and I pal around with him because of his new endeavors to help the community.

[ThePatriotsMaxims]

How do you feel about McCain's association with mobster and murderer Joseph Bonanno, who invited McCain to parties, donated the maximum to his campaign, and to whom McCain sent a birthday card saying "Wishing you a long and prosperous life. Your Friend, John McCain"?

[sherylsworld]

AP: Sen. John McCains wife and father-in-law continued a lucrative business partnership with disgraced financier Charles H. Keating Jr. for 11 years after the GOP presidential nominee said he ended his close friendship with Keating in March 1987.

Cindy McCains business partnership with Keating in a real-estate development between 1986 and 1998 netted her a tidy profit, in addition to years of significant tax benefits. Her father, who died in 2000, earned similar returns.

[infidelguy]

Thank you Sherylsworld. We need a list and run down of the facts on both sides and spread that list to everyone. I hate the one sidedness of thios.. Americans are so damned gullible.. they don't even see that they are forced into a this or that option. Blind to the fact that they are being tricked, scammed and manipulated.

[Realizalize]

oh man,

it is a board or two, and i know no one else who sitting there,

neither was fox on it the decades before, and good so.

but I ask myself now more often who do I work with.

good Journalism isn`t cheap, but it is the best investment there is, ever .

[abasi2008]

McCain is just a desperate old man who would probably sell his 95 yr old mother if that could get him into the white house. No values, honor or integrity.

[Cocacola007bt]

26 years that sucks that's the last thing we need another veteran politician to fuck us up, I don't care if mccain was tortured that wont make him a good president, in fact I think he is mentally ill he called his rally "fellow prisoners" Can you blame Obama for doing all that in those days it was hard for blacks and other minorities, but he hasn't in last 2 years, he's Not Muslim his daughters dont look muslim.

[fonda222]

John McCain is looking very old and desperate.

[Gangularis]

i wish someone would do an interview of ayers, and let ayers clear the record on this shit.. for godsakes.. why doesn't somebody just do it and get it over with? I hope to god McCain goes down in flames for playing the sleezebag politics that we're all so sick of.

[jamesecash]

Thanks again to the Republicans/GOP for wasting my time on another false accusation.

[TrekkieAtlantis]

McCain/Palin 08

[Dallouez]

I think it bothers McCain more than it bothers Obama or Ayers. I think they would both like to kill as many Americians as possable.

[ThePatriotsMaxims]

Who has killed more men, women, and children...McCain, Obama, or Ayers?

[maharvey907]

Whoever has supported abortion has killed the most.

[jramp3]

abortion is a terrible thing,no doubt about it. so maybe we should be talking about ways to reduce it, like getting rid of abstinence only education, and providing better funding and social support for young mothers. what we should not be doing is sending women into back alleys with coat hangers. and we should definitely not be putting people into office who use wedge issues like this to distract people from a whole host of policies that will crush us for the benefit of the few at the top.

[klickenpod]

I am pro-life and agree 100% with what you say.

[ThePatriotsMaxims]

Maharvey - how do you feel about God's killing of fetuses?

[Dallouez]

WOW a real Weatherman! How does it feel to bomb police stations and kill children? McCain CANNOT sanction any country! The democraps would get their dirty hands on any document anti-McCain! YOU KNOW THAT! Why has Obama's voting history that he has the worst voting record in history disappearded from the internet? Why has Obama sent his goons to attack citizens who don't agree with him? Why has Obama hacked into private e-mail that MAY contain military secrets? Why has Hillary left him?

[ThePatriotsMaxims]

I think McCain would know better on how it feels to kill children than would Obama or Ayers.

[Dallouez]

Let me see Obama will NOT release any documents NOTHING. They can't get his desertationor theisis. He lives next store to the Weatherman and Farakian(SP)and other terrorists. He denounced his father. minister religion and friends. Who are his friends? Obama won't lie after he is from Harvard as all the clowns who caused this disaster He's a lawyer and they don't lie. He missed 80% of his votes but he won't lie. He's been given these questions in advance and is reading them off the prompter. LOL

[ThePatriotsMaxims]

Why does John McCain threaten Vietnam with diplomatic sanctions if they ever release his POW records?

Why hasn't John McCain made a senate vote since April?

[amantha03]

Dallouez,

You are an idiotic conserative moron who recites garbage talking points and can't formulate a coherent thought. Please get your mental disorder treated.

[heatsketch]

Plagiarised from "PatriotMcCain":

So if you were 8 years old during 9/11 and Osama bin Laden becomes a school professor in the future, is it cool to hang out with him and work with him, to start your political career to run for President of the USA with this known anti-American terrorist? Of course not, Obama only says and does what is politically expedient, he is a snake, a coward and his loyalties are with America's enemies.

[ThePatriotsMaxims]

Where are McCain's loyalties when he associates with Tony Rezki, Joseph Bonanno, Charles Keating, Rod Parsley, Randy Scheunemann, John Hagee, Oliver North, G. Gordon Liddy, not to mention a drug addict who steals from charities.

And don't forget his family values. Dumping the wife who stood beside him during his POW days for a younger, wealthier woman and committing adultery with a lobbyist.

[amantha03]

Um, Bill Ayers has REFORMED his life and was voted Chicago's citizen of the year in 1997. He is a widely respected education expert. McCain, on the other hand, took over 150,000 dollars in bribes from Charles Keating, the man responsible for the largest savings and loans scandal in American history.McCain still supports the same deregulatory polices and crooks. McCain also abandoned his first wife after she was injured in a car accident. McCain-wife desertion and corruption 1st, country 2nd

[heatsketch]

no. he is unrepentant, he has said he should have set more bombs and he didn't do enough, and now he's using his position as a "community leader" and university professor to continue his war against the united states, albeit non-violently

[ThePatriotsMaxims]

heat - I see you continue the typical smear that has been debunked a million times. Ayers has never said he wished he had set more bombs.

Ayer's comment was that he wished he had done more to stop the Vietnam war.

And now you even say that promoting education is "continuing his war against America"

You are a pathetic, typical conservative follower.

[kate33324]

THEPATRIOTS: Please post the URL where AYERS apologized for the bombs that he set and all the havoc that he, his wife and friends wreaked as founder/members of that HEINOUS group. I won't hold my breath:

AYERS = UNREPENTANT DOMESTIC TERRORIST..

[ThePatriotsMaxims]

Kate - Please post the video where McCain associate Joseph Bonanno apologized for all his murders.

[kate33324]

THE: nobody knows jack about BONANNO.. but we sure know about AYERS, the domestic terrorist. Obama got his first job from Ayers...

Does Obama have any friends who aren't domestic terrorists, lunatic preachers or felons??????

[ThePatriotsMaxims]

Nobody knows jack about Joseph Bonanno?

wow...you must never have finished junior high.

Ever hear of Al Capone?

[Scoot2612]

Republicans : politics of fear and smears

[kubiyama]

obama is right, but the fact is that mccain is running out of time, ideas and touch and behind on the polls

[onecelticwarrior]

Obama wouldnt know the truth if he stepped in it.

[TAXtheAtheist]

Savage...

[moblou]

We don't know who he really is? Do you think he is really going to tell u"US". Come on????

This woman doesn't support Obama. Ever heard of Puma? Count me in their pack. McCain/Palin 08 for Hillary vs. Palin in 2012!

[rachsreese84]

We finally have a true class act running for President and that's why he's winning and that's why he will win. Americans are sick of the smears and ready for intelligent leadership. Thank you Barack Obama for finally bringing this to politics.

[divavivi1962]

thepatriotsmaxims.

You tell them!!

How about adding another name to the McSame list.....G. Gordon Liddy. McSame pals around with him.

[unett]

Hey, Obama explain this away, if you can. Why would Ayers support YOU? Is it maybe because you actively share his political views?

[ThePatriotsMaxims]

unett - why did Joseph Bonanno, mobster and murderer, support John McCain?

your comment was idiotic.

[d28player]

You're right Obama.. campaign attacks aren't serving our democracy, but the truth would serve it well. Just admit, that it didn't matter to you what kind of man Ayers was, that you didn't mind working with him, no matter what his character, that would be truthful.

[onecelticwarrior]

That lying bastard wouldnt know the truth if he stepped in it.

[happyhappyjoyjoy2008]

Obama's Achilles Heel,

Add it up Folks: Flag Pin, Michelle Obama's comment "For the First Time...", Ayers, Wright, Resko, Farrakhan, Father Pfleger = SCARY SH*T, you have to admit it, Very scary associations indeed.

We are talking about THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA HERE AND NOT AMERICAN IDOL!

McCain: An American Hero.

Obama: Shady associations

Pick your next President

[billthebutcher2]

Yeah because Charles Keating, Joseph Bonanno, Rick Renzi and all of McCain's staff are all stand up people.

[ThePatriotsMaxims]

McCain's Achilles Heel,

Add it up Folks: Married to a drug addict who stole from a charity, Hagee, Parsley, Charles Keating, adulterer, threatens North Vietnam with suspension of diplomatic recognition if they ever release his POW records, past connections to a private group that supplied aid to guerrillas seeking to overthrow the leftist government of Nicaragua in the Iran-Contra affair, Oliver North, Sarah Palin's ethics violations.

Scary associations, indeed.

[adammmiles]

Graduating 894th out of a class of 899 at Annapolis, invoking your dad and granddad in order to keep from washing out of the Navy, using your family connections to get a job in a war, crashing two planes, and giving up your country to the enemy does not, repeat DOES NOT make one an American Hero. Nor does selling out to Charles Keating, caving in to the Bushco on everything from torture to the environment, or selecting a half-wit idiot to be one frail, elderly heartbeat away from the red phone.

[ThePatriotsMaxims]

McCain crashed 6 planes, not 2. He also made more videos for the VietCong than any other POW, 35. Many POW's who were tortured never made a single video.

[rustygaver]

Obama doesn't lie very well!

[PatriotMcCain]

So if you were 8 years old during 9/11 and Osama bin Laden becomes a school professor in the future, is it cool to hang out with him and work with him, to start your political career to run for President of the USA with this known anti-American terrorist? Of course not, Obama only says and does what is politically expedient, he is a snake, a coward and his loyalties are with America's enemies.

Obama associates with known felons, racists, gangsters and terrorists... this is unacceptable.

[ThePatriotsMaxims]

Does McCain show poor judgement for associating with a drug addict who stole money from a charity?

[ThePatriotsMaxims]

Did McCain show poor judgement for associating with gangster and murderer Joseph Bonanno, and sending him a birthday card?

[ThePatriotsMaxims]

Did McCain show poor judgement for associating with Rick Renzi, who he praised for his "honesty and integrity."

McCain was so impressed by Mr. Renzi's virtuousness that he recruited him to serve as the co-chair of his presidential campaign in his home state.

A federal grand jury indicted Renzi on 35 counts of corruption, fraud, money laundering, extortion and other crimes.

[PatriotMcCain]

You're right, in McCain's case it was poor judgment. In Obama's case it is a systematic choice in his connections, people he likes to surround himself with and it done purposefully. Obama AGREES with these people, one or two such cases I would willingly give him the benefit of doubt... but this is a constant pattern of anti-American radicals Obama cozies himself with, this is no coincidence anymore!

McCain is not perfect for sure, but he has proven his devotion to the US, not so with Obama.

[ThePatriotsMaxims]

And McCain's associations with Bonanno, Renzi, Parsley, Hagee, Keating, etc. are not systematic?

[PatriotMcCain]

McCain has a 30 year record to run upon, in this time-frame you meet A LOT of people, some of whom end up being corrupt. You are trying to equate Obama's connections with McCain's connection thus neutralizing this obvious and concerning problem for Obama, it's pretty obvious.

You can't put Hagee's relationship with McCain, who simply wants his mega-church votes meeting once in the same league as Wright's 23 year-long personal association with Obama, marrying him, baptizing his daughters...

[ThePatriotsMaxims]

I would certainly prefer a president who has an association with a pastor that you do not agree with, rather than a president who associates with murderous gangsters, drug addicts, charity thieves, or a felon who defrauded thousands of people out of millions of dollars.

[showthosearches]

Pay no attention to what Obama does, only listen to what he has to say and how well he says it. Also pay no attention to those who want to know what are his accomplishments in improving the lives of his constituents thus far. And of course pay no attention to him saying he has campaigned in 57 states and has just a few more to go to. Many of those from ivey league colleges are just not told there are 50 united states.

[Xviv8448vivX]

Handsome Man ;)

[mdcanaday]

Way to go Obama, you are a class act. Thank you for focusing on the things that matter to Americans. McCain is running scared. OBAMA '08!!!!
