If this guy is so dangerous then why does he hold the honor of "Distinguished Professor" at the University of Ill. He has worked on education reform his whole life, seems like he changed his ways a long time ago.
Yes.. but if mac cant get his shit together why should Obama wait around for him.. truth is the ball was back in Macs court.. he balked... said wtf, I can blame Obama cause my people will believe whatever I say anyway... apparently, he was right for a change....did he or didn't he say he'd debate mcC anytime, anywhere?
although, i guess technically if he did, and then refused to, that's be more along the lines of a broken promise than a lie.
a politician breaking a promise; change we can believe in. lol
"I can no more disown him (Wright) than I can disown the black community."

and? obama isn't the one trying to throw mud... that would be McCain. you know, that whole people in glass houses thing.
Mccain should have at least tried to salvage his dignity.
Please see our campaigns response to Barack Obamas dishonest defense of his relationship with unrepentant terrorist William Ayers. During interviews, both his chief strategist David Axelrod and his senior communications advisor Robert Gibbs have said that Barack Obama was unaware of William Ayers terrorist past:
Does Barack Obama truly expect the American people to believe that he had no idea about his friends past as the infamous founder of the domestic terror group The Weather Underground or is he just lying? If Obama didnt know in 1995 about the bombings Ayers was responsible for, when did he find out because Obama was promoting Ayers book in 1997, serving on boards with him until 2002, and trading emails and phone calls with him as recently as 2005. If Obama really was unaware of Ayers radical past, learning the truth doesnt seem to have had any effect on their friendship. Whether Barack Obama is lying to voters about his previous support for higher taxes on the middle class, his votes against funds for American troops in the field or his associations with an unrepentant terrorist, voters are left wondering who Obama is and what he stands for. Tucker Bounds, spokesman McCain-Palin 2008
