McCain Supporters try to spead more lies about Obama

AGH!  I just received an email from one of my son's classmate's parents.  I was going to respond to her, but it seems as though it is a lost cause, but I did send her a link.:)  However, I feel it necessary to discuss what was in her email.  

In this email, she writes that we should not listen to 'hearsay' but to Obama's own words;

 

1.  He won't wear a flag lapel pin

2.  He won't cover his heart during the Pledge or National Anthem

3.  He stayed in his church, listening to his preacher 

She asks for us to listen to his own words on youtube links.  Sure, on youtube you always get the absolute truth, because everything on the Internet is factual.  The main point of her email is that Obama sat in his family's church for 20 years listening to a preacher who preaches hatred toward America, among other black issues I am sure. Being a white woman, I am not privy to all of their issues, thankfully.  However, I am not surprised that an elderly (if you will) black man preaching hatred in his black church is unusual.  Because our country has been so accepting of Black Americans.  Our country has shown such great support of people who are 'different'.   Are you kidding me?  How about the churches who condemn the Jews, the Muslims, Buddists, or anyone who does not believe that Christ is their Savior?  How about those Priests who abused children, and their Catholic Leaders not only ignored it, but covered it up?!   

So he had a minister who spoke ill of America; so he said he never heard those things, and then he said he had heard them.  Remember when it got really bad during the primary, Obama came out and talked to the American people?  Do you remember?  It was the first time I heard a political candidate talk to the American people as if we were adults.  I appreciated the time it took him to boot his minister.  He did not make this a political act, if it were to be a political act, he would have booted the man from his life much sooner.  Instead, he waited it out and pondered the decision HE had to make with his wife and children.  It was a difficult personal decision, and frankly the right one in my opinion.  So can we drop this discussion?

Ayers, whatever!!!!  Again, let this one go!  Is Ayers a nut job?  I don't know, I have not heard him speak.  Did he do something wrong in the 1960's?  I don't know, but I am not voting for him.  I did find out that he was prosecuted by a man named William C. Ibershof.  Ayers did not get convicted, and evidently neither did any other Weather Underground people.  As I was researching this, I learned of the quote Ayers apparently made regarding 9/11.  According to the NY Times piece, Ayers stated, "I don't regret setting the bombs.  I feel we did not do enough."  Now, I would like to hear him say that or acknowledge he said that to a reporter, because I do not believe everything I read.  In addition, all I have heard from the Right is that Ayers stated that on 9/11 "THEY" did not do enough, inferring he was talking about the real terrorists on 9/11.

Do I agree with this man, if it is true about his bombings?  No.  Again, I have not heard him say he did these horrible things.  If he did do these horrible things back in the 60's, does it affect me?  No.  Is what he did during that turbulent time going to sway my decision?  No.  Why?  Because Obama is not William Ayers.  He just happened to be on a Board with him.  Obama was using his relationships with many people in Chicago to jump start his political career.  Who cares!  Oh, by the way did you know that Mayor Richard M. Daley is a great supporter of Mr. Ayers?

Mayor Daley appointed Ayers as the Assistant Deputy Mayor for Education in the early 1990's. Then, Mayor Daley awarded him with the Citizen of the Year in the late 1990's.  How can a crazy leftist radical be supported by Mayor Daley, even though he is a Democrat?  hmm..    Is it because he changed his views or behaviors?  Is it because he felt helping children get an education was more important than blowing up Government buildings?  Who knows, the man has not talked!!!  Please McCain people let it go.

I want a President who inspires me.  I want a President who acts like an ADULT.  I want a President who will get this country back!  I want a President who will think about what issues we are facing and decide which ones are of the utmost importance to fix!  I want a President with a plan.

I have not seen the whole Debate yet.  I will be watching it and will post again soon!

Go Obama!
