'Ayers' - New McCain Spot

Obama is just too risky?

If the Bill Ayers mantra becomes a compelling narrative, it has the potential to be a winning message.

Like most political cover-ups, trying to hide a connection makes the original association even more damaging. While it might not be fatal, this was certainly a misstep by Obama's machine.

The spot's script reads:

Barack Obama and domestic terrorist Bill Ayers. Friends.

They've worked together for years. But Obama tries to hide it. Why?

Obama launched his political career in Ayers' living room.

Ayers and Obama ran a radical "education" foundation, together.

They wrote the foundation's by-laws, together.

Obama was the foundation's first chairman.

Reports say they, "distributed more than $100 million to ideological allies with no discernible improvement in education."

When their relationship became an issue, Obama just responded, "This is a guy who lives in my neighborhood."

That's it?

We know Bill Ayers ran the "violent left wing activist group" called Weather Underground.

We know Ayers' wife was on the FBI's 10 Most Wanted list.

We know they bombed the Capitol. The Pentagon. A judge's home.

We know Ayers said, "I don't regret setting bombs. .... I feel we didn't do enough."

But Obama's friendship with terrorist Ayers isn't the issue.

The issue is Barack Obama's judgment and candor.

When Obama just says, "This is a guy who lives in my neighborhood."
Americans say, "Where's the truth, Barack?"

Barack Obama. Too risky for America.
