Z, > Say he's his best friend and falsely substantiate all the stuff that isn't true just to make you and other conservatives happy?
Obama is supposedly a great orator, isn't he? If he can't convince the majority of voters why he worked with Ayers for many years, then maybe he shouldn't bother running for president until he's built up more years of experience and trust.
The real reason is that Obama is very liberal and has been most of his life. He gives lip service to the conservative position, but when it comes to community organizing and building up his political resume, he's as liberal as they come. That matters because when he takes office and push comes to shove (as things always do in the White House), Obama will likely favor his liberal advisors over his moderate ones.
Now to guys like you, CJ, and Ted, that's an asset, but Obama already has your vote. Instead, Obama is going after the "moderate" vote, and conventional wisdom says that you should simply say anything to get elected, then do whatever the heck you want once in office.
Hence the reason why Obama won't be forthcoming with his Ayers relationship. Same with his work with ACORN. (Clintonian logic does not count as being "forthcoming.") Therefore, I don't see anything that's going to change under an Obama administration, other than the scary notion that leftists will get what they've always wanted: Unchecked Power.
