look up mccain /keating scandal and look in to mccain's own FELON, father in law whose money helped fund mccain's career, skeletons are out there from both candidates....unfortunately, they seem to follow anyone in politics, nowadays!
obama was 8 years old when ayers was in his hayday....and Ayres has since made a legitimate life of himself as a professor at a university and was never charged with any crime, and is not a felon, regardless of what we may think he did....
he was raised by his grandparents, and hippies revolutionized our country, most of those hippies today are wearing suits and holding high paying jobs and are mainstream today...hippies wanted peace, they hated the killings of war...they drugged themselves to be happy in a very sad time, where we had lost over 50,000 soldiers in the war in vietnam and the average age of the soldiers sent there to defend us and or die, was 19 years old....it was disheartening for them to see their fellow high school graduates dying in droves, for something that seemed so trivial, like letting the vietnamese decide what govt they wanted to rule, which they did, after we left....unfortunately, not always the best man wins after all the killing.... WAR, dear God, WHAT IS IT GOOD FOR? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING was the gist of the tunes at the time....and although many hippies had good intentions, they did go overboard nearing the end of their revolution and made some very hurtful and bad mistakes...and some of them blamed our soldiers for the killing, instead of the civilian leaders that ordered them there and ordered the killings..... I highly doubt obama's mother was a hippie already in 1961 when he was born, not much was really happening in vietnam yet back then....the major usa deaths there came later on in the 60's..
so those things you mentioned alone, should not be good enough....to make your decision on....search deeper! then let me know what you come up with....
