Biden Calls McCain’s Ayers Attacks Disappointing
LISBON, OH — Waiting on a cheeseburger, fries, and a black-and-white milkshake at Earle and Jacki’s Steel Trolley Diner, Joe Biden told reporters he’s “disappointed” that John McCain says he plans to bring up Barack Obama’s association to Weatherman founder William Ayers in Wednesday night’s presidential debate.
“We’ll see. Let’s see what, what he does,” Biden said of reports that McCain will confront Obama with the Ayers association after hitting him on the trail and in TV ads for ties to the man responsible for bombing the pentagon. “In my view, the ads that are being run, picturing Barack Obama and people saying, ’known terrorist’… I think that’s over the top.”
Biden said he was pleased to see McCain taking a stand to stop some of the more scurillous negative comments about Obama at McCain events. “I was proud that John decided to take on some of that attitude that was expressed at one of his campaign rallies. And I hope he keeps it up,” he said, after being ambushed by reporters who haven’t had a chance to ask him questions since a press availability on his plane on September 7th.
But Biden said he hasn’t reached out to McCain to tell him to cut out the attacks.”I called him a while ago…just since before 9/11,” Biden said. ”I know John knows my views.”
“I think it was Bill Clinton said, all campaigns are about tomorrow, not yesterday. And I’m paraphrasing him. And I think that’s what people want to know. And I think when you don’t talk about those things, when you don’t lay out, when you spend more time talking about your opponent than you do what you’re going to do, then I think it’s fairly transparent.”
On the final presidential debate tomorrow, which some pundits say is McCain’s last chance for a breakthrough moment, BIden said he expects Obama to win. ”I think what the debate has shown, the last two debates, is a guy who’s confident and steady, and a guy who’s not quite sure of where he wants to take the country,” he said. “All Barack’s got to do is repeat the performance he’s had the last two times out. I feel good about it, I have total confidence in him.”
“But I’m looking for my cheeseburger here,” Biden said, clearly done with the interrogation — and his press staff ushered cameras out of the building.

its his outragious tossed asside by the media radical associates that are inducing the issue… tranparency would solve this- the media is hiding the truth of obama himself- a radical….
tarts- its what’s for breakfast
Why are you people so mad at Barack Obama?
Lighten up! Excuse me, get use to it. He’s gonna be around for at least 4 years.
Senator Obama would make a terrific trial lawyer, but he is not Presidential quality. His character is flawed–void of integrity, and lacking good judgment.
If Senator Obama’s long term relationships with numerous unsavory individuals,[ that include individuals convicted of committing such crimes as political fixing], are all so innocent, why has he chosen repeatedly to lie about them when confronted throughout the campaign?
Who cares what Biden says.
Its all relevant. Obama changes his story too many times to be believed. Someone has got to get the truth out on Ayers, the link to ACORN, the link to sub-prime pressure and vote fraud, etc.
The MSM is dead in this country. This stuff should all have been in the public record a year ago.
Biden is a DISGRACE,Like the rest of this party.I switched because they all are phony.He said Obama wasn’t ready to lead and knows about his radical ties. These are NOT true Americans.Even a huge Hillary supporter I can not believe after she knows his ties to Resko, Ayers, Acorn, Wright, and many others. wake up fools. Obama you are walking on thin ice.the truth shall set you free.
Obama isn’t who he claims to be. He is bought & pushed by a radically agenda.You will all see wake up FOOLS.Biden and Dems are a HUGE DISGRACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DISGRACE THE DEMOCRATS have sunk really low now.Radical ties Obama has.& YOU all know it! TOTALLY DISGUSTED
i’d think that FOX News would be looking into this. And if anything was there the story would break on the national scene. I’m still waiting for FOX News to find that smoking gun that all you radical right-wingers are looking for. Good luck on that. See you on the other side of Nov 4 when Obama is president.
I agree with Dan.
I think the media should in fact cover Obama associations with the black liberation church (Wright and his outrgeos statements). Resko, Ayers and so on. I think the media should also cover Obama voting record (voted over 100 times present). So McCain talking about Ayer is nothing compared to what the media should unveil about Obama. But since most media is in Obama camp this country will never know the full truth about this man. I am so afraid for this country!!
Democrats,This is the WORST I have ever seen.YOu know Obama is radical.You know about his connections.& Hillary & Bill he played the race card on you & put Hillary through hell.I have come to disrespect this party!I am now voting for McCain/Palin. I DO NOT TRUST OBAMA.& his radical friends and ties & the money ties. Wake up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
look at Obama’s record and see.He isn’t who he claims to be.I don’t care about his Words” they are just words.& I am one who see’s through this cheap suit.YOU WILL NOT SELL and DESTROY U.S.A.
Why is Barack Obama always putting Joe Biden his running mate in a peculiar position. Barrack Obama stated that the reason he did not join the military service was that the United States was not at war at the time when he was eligible to serve and most people join. Barack Obama knows that Joe Biden did not join the military service because of an asthma condition that was not diagnosed until his teenage years. Joe Biden had horribly bad luck, ninety percent of all children are diagnosed with asthma before age six but Joe Biden was unlucky enough to be in the ten percent group of children who acquire asthma after age six and became asthmatic when he was a teenager. After five student deferments while he attended college and law school, his teenage asthma finally came to the attention of his local Selective Service Board and he missed the opportunity to serve his country during time of war as an officer. But for his bad luck with his teenage asthma diagnosis, Joe Biden could have gone in and served his country honorably as a officer and a gentleman and perhaps as a Judge Advocate Law Officer similar to his son. Barack Obama should be kinder to his running mate and not emphasize that he did not serve because the country was not at war in contrast to Joe Biden who did not serve while the country was at war.
No Joe, what is really disappointing is the lies concerning your cohort. The truth is never disappointing, and electing someone with this many secrets is scary!!!! Perhaps people feel he’s an outsider because he’s only been there for half a year, and been campaigning for the next office almost his entire time in office. Joe putting your political amibitions above what you know is right for this country is disappointing.
McCain/ Palin
A noun, a verb and Ayers
Fox News
A noun, a verb and ACORN
“I think it was Bill Clinton said, all campaigns are about tomorrow, not yesterday. And I’m paraphrasing him. And I think that’s what people want to know. And I think when you don’t talk about those things, when you don’t lay out, when you spend more time talking about your opponent than you do what you’re going to do, then I think it’s fairly transparent.”
This seems a little ironic, given that Obama/Biden’s entire strategy is to try to link McCain to Bush and the previous 8 years.

The Media is hiding this?? Please right now fox is exploring every possible link available. They would like nothing more to nail him on this even if there no basis for these accusations. Ayers is now a respected member of the Chicago community, oh wait that must make the entire city of Chicago a terrorists capitol. We better invade Illinois. Where’s the discussion on troopergate? They proved she was unethical/abusive of power, how can you still stand behind her and slam Obama?
Dan - get a grip
Dan - Get a grip
I know someone McCain is associated with that is scarier than that… BUSH!!
For Biden to say that obamas past is not important is plain stupid. The fact that obama is hiding his past is evidence enough that he is hiding something in his past that he is ashamed of. It is sad that he is afraid to produce his birth certificate to prove he is eligible to even run for president. He is a sleazy dude the likes you see in a singles bar!
The attack is disappointing,
what about the association of B.Obama with this guy? Not disappointing?
it is pretty obvious now that these democrats just wanted to win, they don’t care anymore what they say, what they know, what they believe, they lost their principles, their american values because they are blinded by power. biden was trying to turn the page. he does not know what to say anymore. in the history of a presidential campaign, never the americans has elected a president who has got too much scandals. never. the democrats are trying to distort the american values for the sake of power.
Who really cares what Joe Who says. He says one thing today and something else tomorrow. He refutes what his partner says in the same day. Keep up the good work Joe or is that a double and they didn’t put the makeup on right. He has had too many face lifts and botox. Scary!!!!!
Biden is just upset because he didn’t have the “guts” to play the Ayers card during the primaries.
Good one Roy!
the republicans and Bush have destroyed this country’s integrity and good standing with our allies!
cry cry cry
always someone elses fault
Repubs take responsibilty for your actions
your children are watching, learning and forming bad habits of NEVER admiting they just might be wrong and thinking it is thier God given right to always win
NA NA NA NAAAAAAAAAAAA NA NA NA NAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA HEY HEY GOOBYE REPUBLICANS
HOUSE OURS
SENATE OURS
THAT ONE 08/12
LIES WILL NOT WORK THIS TIME LOSERS
ALL SMILES HERE, GO BACK TO YOUR TRAILERS
Obama is a great big liar he has paid ACORN to get him elected. ow in the world that everything that surfaces he denies. hr is a bullsh-ter!
Obama as a lawyer should have defended OJ! OJ would be out free now!
No one in the US Government would ever qualify for a security clearance of any level with Obama’s background. It is repulsive to imagine that IF he gets elected he will have access to things only truly responsible people need to know, besides having his finger on the button for launching nuclear weapons. Heaven help us.
McCain will lose this election because he is offering no clear agenda for the future. From the start his campaign has been incoherent and erratic, and the messages just are not consistent. You can’t portray yourself as a maverick when you pick a patently unqualified VP candidate to kowtow to the extreme conservative wing of your own party. You can’t run as a voice of dissent when you represent the party in power for the past eight years, and have voted to support their agenda on every key issue. And finally, you cannot ignore the big picture by engaging in petty character attacks, especially in a time of huge economic distress. The problem is not the media, or voting fraud, or any other concoction of a flailing campaign; it’s the weakness of the candidate himself. He deserves to lose, and the Republicans will have to come to grips with the implosion of their extreme agenda.
Joe Biden should learn how to ask nicely John McCain to stop attacking Barack Obama regarding his relationships with Ayers the domestic terrorist bomber. He should say - Please do not attack Obama regarding his character and judgement because it hurts. Cucufate T. Catral
so now we know ACORN did what they did
Of course Obama is no longer with them
how convenient
Outrageous thing carefully planned against entire country.
We don’t need any more ‘community organizers’ like Obama.
No more funds for Acorn, no more Ayers, other obscure/ocult stuff
No more Obama!
No one listens to Bad Botox Biden. You just kind of look at him and wonder if he paid the doctor that did the work. The is not a John McCain issue and the attempt to blame John McCain for Obama’s 4 separate lies about Ayers if further indicative of this man’s candor. He didn’t tell the truth from the beginning which is why the question is still on the table. I find that you would have to take a quantum leap not to believe that he didn’t pick up on something over 20 years with the good Rev. Wright. I guess nothing came up when they traveled for the million man march. Jesse Jackson said today that when Obama got into the Whitehouse things were going to change. He was going to change the United States’ relationship with Israel, etc. This who secret mysterious side of Obama is concerning.
The question is; how many terrorist did Ayers educate as a Professor? How much time did he spend with them compared to the time he spent with Barack Obama? How many of the faculty have Ayers been palling around with compared to his palling around with Obama? this just illustrates that this is such a foolish issue that Mccain is waisting the electorates time with, and demonstartes the lack of substance in his campaign.As is said, when one can’t find their backside with their own two hands, they will cause the rest to smell what isn’t pleasant. Senator Mccain! please, clean it up.
RE: Ayers
For Pete’s Sake! I was 13 and knew who this guy was, my sister was 8 years old. (We had to read and watch the news). Back in the day he was known as a Rebel, then when he got violent he was a militant rebel who wanted to send a message to our government. What a mistake that was. He totally blew off the Peace Movement by making it violent - he preached for government that would simply supress the average joe - wanting the government to turn from the war in Viet Nam and give to the poor, and god forbid the Police be allowed to do their jobs. He was not good for the peace movement to say the least. He wasn’t alone - other fronts came upon the cause also. Who influenced who is beyond me - my grandfather use to say it was a communist plot, to include the poisoning of drugs. Maybe he was to paranoid-but now you have to wonder-especially since in the early 70’s they decided to take the 3 R’s out of the class room, and now we have a population of illiterates. Nice huh?
His philosophy does not live up to the comfy creatures he seems to be enjoying today in his million plus home. And if Senator Obama wanted to “distant” himself, why pray-tell did he choose to buy himself a million plus home down the road from his “unknown” buddy? Beyond me!
No! Had Ayers had his way and we had the government he wanted - you can bet eventually the constitution would be a thing of the past - and anyone not up on social ladder would not have the protection of Free Speech. No-he would have been the last Rebel to survive and best of all be living off the poor!
Accorn is a great idea! I just wonder who thought of it? It is a nonviolent way and a very sneaky way of getting the rebel’s philosphy in the door. You can figure everything else out from there.
I have to wonder are we so educated and so busy we are blind to the path one would take to pursue their “dream?” Or are we less educated than the one’s who seem to be prevailing and need to wise up! Or are we too lazy and too blind and too comfortable to be bothered with a quiet coup? A republic? A democracy? Ask the Romans, ask the Greeks, ask our forefathers what they learned from ancient history and why we are a Republic with a democratic system? How do you ask - you read and read and read and read. Google if you must, but read as much as you can.
God Bless America for the Rebels - they are after all who settled and established this country - but to get violent and try to regress our government is shameful. What’s worse is that our legal system allowed him to get away with it. For him he will have to grow old to serve the justice he deserves and be in line with his “brothers” for health care. Oh! I forgot he’s a millionaire now - thanks to the country he hates. He won’t be in line, he’ll have a personal doc’ at his home - he can’t even relate to the poor or middle class anymore - he’s attuned only to his old beliefs and believes that they are renewed by those he tutored.
Obama can disclaim him all he wants - but when someone is groomed under someone’s watch there is a reason for it I see a puppeteer and I see a very well groomed puppet of times gone by. And if not a puppet a collaborator who can’t deny simply because he’s not talking to him in the last couple of years - that sounds like just another part of the plan. If he gets this- then all I can say is Good Job! You finally Beat it! Now What?
Very sad for them and very very sad for the Americans who vote to support this.
All I can say if this catastrophe occurs is : Bye Bye American Pie!!! You were great while you were alive - and Bye Bye U.S.A. - Hello United Nations.
There’s no arguement here - if it’s what the reader wants then go for it - there will always be rebels with a cause - or not - no matter what the situation.
Cya—-I’m sailing west………….
A quotation I’d like to hear during tomorrow’s debate in connection with the Ayers/Wright discussion that ought to take place:
“Associate yourself with Men of good Quality if you Esteem your own Reputation; for ’tis better to be alone than in bad Company.”
-George Washington
Liberals always object when the truth come out. Why would he ever suspect the truth would come out when the media swoons when he walks in the room. I had heard the rumor that Obama hadn’t written his book, but I didn’t believe it until I heard the interview with the plumber. He sounded like an idiot (sorry for the insult idiots). Now I know why Obama was an organizer, because it was between organizer and snake oil salesman. The plumber ask him a question he fumbled the ball. How about that the plumber vetted the great Obama better than ABC, CBS & NBC ever have.
Here is the question I want asked of Obama. Will you be inviting Ayers or Rev Wright to the White House for dinner if you are elected? If he sees nothing wrong with associating with an unrepented terrorist, we can only assume the answer would be YES
Hey Orlando you might want to check the Democratic Savior’s (Clinton) bumbles, I believe this is when the folks around the world sensed that the Presidency of the United States was on a downward
spiral. Openly lying to the nation while under oath is a punishable offense but the congress just waved it’s magic hand and the laws of the land where no longer in effect. Just like today the main stream media waves it hand (Soros) and the truth is swept under the rug.
Now Orlando tell me how the democrats either Barack Obama or the congressional leadership is better than the CONSTITUTION, please.
Hipocrites all tend to flock together once they can smell power. I only hope that the majority of you
will not be totally upset when the truth is known down the road in about two years.
Gee and now it seems that Sen Biden over the years has funneled a couple million dollars to family members from his campaign funds. Gee more questions for the the public to ponder.
Money to the tune of $50,000 going to his sister, his sons lobbying firm to the tune of $150,000, the article also states that Sen Biden is listed in the top five in congress as passing funds along to family members. BIRDS OF A FEATHER, FLOCK TOGETHER.
