Quote from bigdavediode:
So Obama would take 140,000 troops out of Iraq and put seven to ten thousand into Afghanistan, and you're worried about where all the money for the 7,000 is going to come from.
You're an odd guy, Pabst.

If you think it'll stop at 7k. I don't.
I think we're headed for WAR in Pakistan.
Quote from Fractals 'R Us:
Democrats have only one choice when it comes time to act on anything: buy black votes some more. If they lose just a fraction of the black votes to Republicans they are done, finis, over, unable to be dogcatcher... [wouldn't Hillary make a good dogcatcher somehow?]. When they say they are going to expand entitlements, it's about money to blacks, nothing more or less, and throw in a few Hispanics that want to be on the dole too... you're a white male... forgattabboutit, you owe them all more money for some reason.... Obama is a commie through and through, that stupid assed church in chicago is about a theology that is marxism disguised as Christianity [google "liberation theology"] and Bill Ayers is a commie, he says so... It's unbelievable to me that clowns like that are headed for the white house...
Quote from bigdavediode:
Well for starters because you've gotten all your facts entirely wrong. Contrary to your claim, Ayers had zero to do with Obama's appointment to the board. He was motivated by Deborah Leff and "recommended by Pat Graham, and elected by the bipartisan founding board members: Susan Crown, Pat Graham, Stanley Ikenberry, Ray Romero, Arnold Weber, and Wanda White."
Here, I'm not going to read the rest of your post. Would you like to retract this mess you've made above, start over, and work from a foundation of actual facts?
Quote from AAAintheBeltway:
Not according to the article cited in the opening post, but I know you are not one to be concerned with facts when you are rejurgitating the talking points from obama headquarters.
Maybe you could explain the fact that Obama and Ayers lived within 1/4 mile of each other when Obama was at Columbia and Dorn was working at the law firm that would later employ both Obama and is wife? Just a coincidence?
I'm still trying to understand why Obama would want to associate with a person like Bill Ayers and his wife, both unrepetant terrorists. How can we trust Obama to fight terrorism when his close friends are terrorists?
Quote from bigdavediode:
Now now, the facts are that Obama was appointed by the board, and his name wasn't given by Ayers.
Two professors of the same university living within a 1/4 mile of each other? Who gives a rats ass. Seriously.
You've got a candidate who can't use the Internet who is actively running from the debates and you're concerned about two professors living not particularly close to each other decades before. Where are your priorities?
Well for starters, Obama was eight years old at the time. And unlike McCain's terrorist associate, Ayers was convicted of nothing.

You don't KNOW if those are certain "facts". Obama's appointment isn't unusual but selecting Ayers for ANY board is kinky. Obama's decision to serve with Ayers and to further have a political/social relationship with him is downright bizarre. I find it interesting that publicity hound Bill Ayers is suddenly so silent when asked about particulars regarding the depth of his relationship with Obama.

They didn't teach at the same institution. Several miles apart

They presently live only blocks apart.

Ayers "guilt" is undisputed nor unchallenged. His wife was convicted.
