It has recently been discovered that Obama friend and supporter William Ayers has served as a consultant to Venezuelan Communist dictator Hugo Chavez on using education to further the "revolution". Furthermore Ayers' son-in-law is presently in Carracus advising the Communist government.
Your opinion please. . . . if Obama is elected will William Ayers become Secretary of Education?????
Keep on drinking that kool-aid... you seem to enjoy it.
Dangling participle aside, you're right. Obama does have a lot of characters around him. Bill's a character but, aside from him, Hillary doesn't have a lot of characters.
I dont claim to all that knowledgable about proper English, but Davidt's sentences seemed all right to me. Where was the dangling participle?

As opposed to the McCain supporters (and members of his staff) that had links to the dictatorship in Myanmar?
Give it up already.
ANYONE who rises to the level of a major Presidential candidate has some sort of connection to someone with some sort of embassing "baggage". That's a simple FACT.
That's because anyone who rises to that level has contact with THOUSANDS and THOUSANDS of people - some of whom are simply going to have those kinds of contacts. Last I heard it was not illegal to do business with the government of Venezuela (they are after all our 4th largest suppliers of oil).

I'm having orange, thanks. But seriously Barack and His buddy "Bill" go back a few years. They socialize together, They served together on the Woods Foundation Board, their children play together and both Bill and his consort Bernadette Dohrn contribute ot Barack's campaigns.
William Ayers is a respected professor of education at the U of Chicago. Doesn't it just make sense that Obama would appoint his friend--who no doubt is an "expert" on education to a cabinet post?
Because I don't like extremists on either side. Right-wing or left-wing. Obama is far left, while Hillary is more moderate.
This is a fallacy. It is not about who is left-wing, right-wing, liberal, or moderate. You are handicapped by the categorizations.
It is about who will be able to devise novel, effective solutions to the modern problems that plague this country. The best person for this is clearly Obama. Hillary has never shown herself to be a leader, an effective problem-solver, or an intelligent politician.
Imagine the kind of mess that Hillary would create given that she can't even run a better campaign than Obama.
David Axelrod is running the Obama campaign, not Obama. Yes, David Axelrod is brilliant, but this campaign was prepackaged for Obama. He ran a similar campaign for Deval Patrick.
Imagine if Axelrod was running Clinton's campaign....
None of the candidates have experience. This is a non-issue.
Life experience. This is an issue. It's the reason cited by 39% of the people who didn't vote for him in one primary. Obama has no leadership experience. He's held very few fulltime jobs. He has a slender voting record (due to voting "present" much of the time). There is almost nothing to judge him on -- unlike the other candidates who have longer voting records, leadership positions, actual fulltime jobs. McCain even retired from the military, so you know McCain can work fulltime without cracking under pressure.

UB50....i don't mean to downgrade you or anything like that but "do you know what takes place on the senate floor or at least have any idea?" given the fact that all these candidates are nothing but senators. Just to give you a hint my friend, sometimes, if not most of the times, these senators cast votes that favor lobbying groups, introduce bills that favor lobbying firms not you the average voter.

I'm fully aware of this -- but what does this have to do with the amount of life experience each candidate brings to the table?
