"Oh no he didn't!!!"

So now Obama has adjusted his stance (read: LIE) on his relationship and knowledge of Bill Ayers and his terrorists past. Instead of saying he didn't know anything about what he'd done and that he was just some "guy from the neighborhood" he has now adjusted that to this: He "knew he was a terrorists but he thought he'd been rehabilitated." This suggests that Obama is happy to work closely (and directly FOR) a US Domestic Terrorists, as long as he thinks he was rehabilitated. Rehabilitated from what? Bombing public buildings and private homes with children inside? Being part of a movement that did this many times with deaths involved? That's very similar to another domestic terrorists Tim McVeigh. The only difference is that Bill Ayers and his murderer wife GOT OFF on technicalities. If Tim McVeigh had gotten on an a technicality, and he thought he was rehabilitated, would Obama also have been okay with working with and for him? Would he have launced his political career from Tim McVeigh's living room? Would that have been okay? What if Tim had publicly stated he'd wished he'd bombed more buildings and wasn't sorry at all? Would that have still qualified him as rehabilitated in Obama's mind? It sure did in the case of Bill Ayers.

This lapse in common sense and decency alone would be cause for not supporting Obama for Senator, let alone the Presidency. Domestic terrorists as friends and associates? Really? And now he admits he knew all about it, but it was okay because he'd made a judgement that Ayers had been rehabbed? Even though Ayers himself said he still wishes he'd done more?

But it gets worse... Ayers is now in charge of educating LOTS of kids. He won an award from Chavez in VZ for teaching kids how to overthrow capitalism. He got a huge financial grant saying his intent was to teach kids, not through reading and writing, but by radicalizing them against capitalism and government. And guess what? Obama worked for him to spend that money to achieve those stated goals.

Now.. perhaps that isn't enough to convince radical Obama supporters, but it seems to me that common decency would prevail and someone would be smart enough and decent enough to refuse to knowingly work with someone with that background. Certainly you'd think he'd avoid working FOR a guy like that giving out money to "radicalize" (that's Ayer's word, not mine) children instead of teaching them reading and writing.

Doesn't this stuff make you guys sick?
