The problem is that you need some sense of rationale or logical thought to understand this - which is clearly severely lacking on the right.
We're not forgetting about the economy, neocons. No matter how hard you try...
The market was due for a correction, and no amount of bailout money will stop it.
Let's look at liberal states such as California and New York, and examine their budget shortfalls, and fiscal crisis leaving them in a state of insolvency.
California and New York are shining examples of Liberal tax and spend behavior failing, and Obama's plan will leave the USA in the same situation.
Exactly! Lets talk about something with a little substance...not about past relationships...
WE all have hung out with bad people or people that questionable pasts...that does not make us bad people...and it certainly does mean we share the same ideas... So,,,next.
Are you going to refute that, because I'll provide links and direct quotes all day long.
The fact that Obama has associated himself with this low life is reprehensible.
Are you suggesting that, just because he's live crime free life since the bombings, that we should just "forgive and forget"?
No thanks.
First off, the quote he "supposedly said" was nearly 40 years ago - when he was a young hothead (and Obama was what - 8 years old). I'm not excusing the quote - assuming it even occurred (and yeah, provide a link (not of someone CLAIMING he said it) provide a link to an interview or some other direct quote where you can PROVE that he said it) it has NOTHING to do with Obama. Ayers has done NOTHING illegal for probably longer than most of the silly posters here have even been alive.
You can (and obviously will) choose to hold a grudge forever (that's an indictment of YOU, not Obama), but the fact is the guy has moved on with his life and now does charity work. If he offered to help with a charity for a good cause I was running, I wouldn't turn down the help. Help is help. If people need help, they need help. If the guy is living a clean life now, so what about what he did 30 years ago. I don't see you complaining that Palin inhaled - or that McCain was censored for "bad judgment" in the Keating Five mess (the very thing Obama is being attacked for in his dealings with Ayers).
The economy is a legitimate subject. I would hope that obama researches his experts in economy better then he did his spiritual mentor and political friends, or we will all be eating obama cheese once a month -- if we are lucky.
Clearly, Obama doesn't.
Over 300 economists have endorsed McCain's economic plan (July press release figures). That number is up to 530 economists, now, according to The Economist.

True enough, but is that the WHOLE story?
I don't think so.
Maybe you should actually READ the article to see who the economists REALLY prefer instead of just taking someones' word for the conclusions the magazine draws. It's not good news for McCain:
"AS THE financial crisis pushes the economy back to the top of voters’ concerns, Barack Obama is starting to open up a clear lead over John McCain in the opinion polls. But among those who study economics for a living, Mr Obama’s lead is much more commanding. A survey of academic economists by The Economist finds the majority—at times by overwhelming margins—believe Mr Obama has the superior economic plan, a firmer grasp of economics and will appoint better economic advisers."
