tonyj going for the record man....how is the weather up there...sept and oct were always the best for me,,,,I used to live for a couple of years at 78 yorkville ave back in the seventies it was all hippies and discos those were the days

How does the Obamanable snow job explain his friend Ayers the mad bomber and wife Bernadine Dorn.....Ayers was the early '70s leader of a radical terrorist outfit called the Weather Underground - which bombed the Pentagon, the US Capitol and NYPD Headquarters as part of a violent "revolution" against the US government.

He surfaced in 1980, along with his wife and fellow terrorist, Bernardine Dohrn; a technicality then erased the federal charges against them.

And he seems proud of his actions.

"I don't regret setting bombs . . . I feel we didn't do enough," he told The New York Times in 2001.

Quite frankly, why such a despicable character shouldn't be persona non grata to anyone aspiring for responsible political office is beyond us.

But Ayers - who Obama meekly dismisses as "a guy in my neighborhood" - played a key role in the senator's rise.

In 1995, for example, Obama was named chairman of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge - Ayers' "school reform" outfit. Later that year, Ayers and Dohrn personally hosted an organizing meeting for Obama's first state Senate campaign.

True, Ayers had long been part of Chicago's political culture. But that says more about Chicago than about Ayers.

Obama has some explaining to do.

old barry back in the lead let's see if mcsame still have some more tricks down his sleeves
Can not teach old dog new tricks

i am already at a point where i do not involve myself in discussions of substance with GC. it is a fool's errand. here is a guy invoking religion in referenceto Obama, but completely , and conveniently omits the fact that Sarah Palin's pastor opined that the terrorist attacks on Israel are Gods punishment against the Jews. and that , in essence, Jews will be forgiven and accepted, if they convert to christianity. what kind of nutty, insane, trailer park crap is that? but GC is quite silent on that issue, because objectivity and fair handedness are not his strong suit.

Palin is a distraction to keep you from thinking about the last 8 years. McCain voted with Bush 90% of the time. You have a very simple decision to make. Do you think America is better today than it was 8 years ago?

It amazes me the degree to which the Minority population in the U.S (i.e Immigrants, Latinos, African-Americans, South-East & Central Asians) is devoid of a sense of history. We are, in 2008, witnessing the demise of an Empire: The U.S has lost its Implicit Moral Authority; Its economy is one financial institution failure away from becoming third-world rate; its cultural pre-eminence has been diluted to the point of irrelevance and its military power, as an extension of its foreign policy, is all brunt and no brains.

Pre-eminence power at the level enjoyed by the U.S is more a question of global consensus than nationalistic will. The moment the world decides it no longer wishes to be lead by the U.S, its "power" becomes irrelevant and while it still has the means to turn the whole of the planet into a self-lighting, glow-in-the-dark parking lot, the chances of using this as leverage to impose its will on the world (or any other country for that matter) no longer holds true.

AT this point, in my humble opinion, the only to stave off the inevitable would be for the U.S to tell the world in a clear, unambiguous voice: We lost our way. We took the world confidence for granted and squandered a golden opportunity to lead the world. We get it; we screwed up and if given another chance we will live to our potential and expectations...Electing the First Minority President; one that embodies the idea of radical change in the way the U.S does business with the world will send a clear message to the world that the U.S is back in business. The business of Leading.

wonderful post, jacirez. fear not, it will soon have to admit it, like it or not. despite what some posters might say, the days of preeminence are coming to a close. the american economy is roughly 12 trillion dollars. 3 trillion of those dollars are held by sovereign funds! yes , a full quarter. and, with the demise of wall street, the arabs, japanese , and chinese, are going to treat the financial institutions like a flea market. they will be buying up the debris of wall street for pennies on the dollar. the USA cannot keep printing money. it just spent 900 billion on all those bailouts. the dollar took a he-man dump yesterday against the pound sterling. the middle class has lost approximately 2 TRILLION dollars in home equity in the last 18 months. that, my friend is spending power down the drain. with restricted credit, and no savings, we could be looking down the jaws of another depression. but nobody wants to sacrifice. Joe Biden suggested that everybody should bite the bullet and sacrifice to save the country. then, the imbecile Sarah Palin, who believes dinosaurs were on the earth 6000 years ago, comes right back with the tax cut mantra. i hope the republicans win. for a drug abuser to change his ways, he has to hit rock bottom. i say, let McCain and Palin take them down the drain. then they just might wake up.

Tweedle dee and Tweedle dumber over here in the corner jerking each other off....well folks it aint gonna happen....even with financial chaos all around the empty suit cannot get any traction ..." Plugs " has shown to be a negative and even though Dread thrills to his stolen oratory he cant hack it .....Hillybilly is the only chance he has.....the empty suit is exposed as the fraud he is

tah heck wit' dis govt. ish, I'm watching V for Vendetta.

Just joking.
What?!... Its not funny oh its okay, but what I found interesting is the date november 5th in that movie right after you know what. With all this talk of give the companies billions of this and billions of that I can't help but wonder what lies ahead of this. The big spender is also the pauper. What has McCain or Obama said about this? oops mum's the word!
