    McCain has Libby and a penchant for gambling. Palin won't answer subpoeas and they're crucifing Barak Obama for associating with Ayers 40 years after hating America. I hated what America did during the Vietnam era - not to the extreme Ayers did, but people do change. Barak was 8 years old when Ayers did what he did and Ayers turned himself in to the Feds. Palin is refusing to do the same and McCain thinks he's above the law because he was a POW?? I think not. Oh, and Michele Obama didn't steal drugs from third world orphans....think about it people - these smears from the Republicans about Barak Obama are all a smoke screen - they're playing you for FOOLS! Don't let them get away with it or we'll all suffer!
