William Ayers & Bernardine Dohrn: Obama … With Friends like this, who Needs Political Material for TV Ads

Since the beginning of the political primaries, the media has all but refused to cover Obama’s past or his close relationships. The liberal main stream media just wanted to keep trumpeting the talking points that Obama was the candidate of change. Change, change, change. No substance, no record, no nothing, just change.

I am the candidate of change … forget my past and lack of judgement. Who doesn’t have domestic terrorists, criminals and racists as friends and confidants? Vote for me … Vote for Change.

Thanks to the Reverend Jeremiah Wright, the media has been forced into covering Obama’s past and his associations. The media has been forced to cover some of the stories. However, now the media has changed their plan of action. Now they want to tell us that its no big deal who Obama associated with and that they are not character flaws, but mere insignificant occurrences. They actually thing “We the People” are that stupid. 

In an article in the WSJ, Elizabeth Wurtzel tries to tell us that Obama’s association with Bernardine Dohrn  and Bill Ayers is simply fine.

Apparently, back when he was running for state senate, Barack Obama had fund-raising events at the home of Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn, and there’s been some press about the senator’s friendship with this controversial Weathercouple. Many reporters are well aware, even though Mr. Obama has described his connection to Ayers and Dohrn as “flimsy,” that the senator’s relationship with his radical Hyde Park neighbors is actually quite warm, even close.

Its all just no big deal. In fact, it is a big deal as stated by Protein Wisdom. It gets even worse as the media refuses to cover a story that they know much more of. How pathetic has our media become where they squelch stories that do not fit their liberal agenda.

Bill Ayers – Weather Underground

As previously noted, Obama has been less than honest about his relationship with unrepentant domestic terrorist William Ayers.  But Wurtzel is suggesting that reporters know even more than they are reporting.

Flopping Aces reminds us of some other character issue associations that Obama has no issue with in the past as well.

So we should all just forget about Obama’s very bad judgement in befriending the likes of Rezko and Auchi, Odinga, Ayers, The New Black Panther Party, La Raza, Farrakhan, Mr. Wright, and the homophobe Rev. James T. Meeks.

Not likely. Nor should it be when picking the next President of the United States.

Is it any wonder why John McCain has forged ahead of Barack Obama in the Daily Gallup Poll, 48%–42%. Think the Reverend Wright controversy has not taken its toll on Obama’s numbers? After the pasting that Obama took in Pennsylvania, he can hardly afford another loss like that in Indiana. Ever wonder why after 20 years Obama finally said something about Wright and tried to completely distance himself? Its all politics.
