A new Obama ad charges that McCain fund raiser Ralph Reed has connections with convicted felon and lobbyist Jack Abramoff. What the ad fails to mention is that Senator McCain lead the investigation into the Abramoff affair. Also, as McCain spokesman Brain Rodgers points out, when it comes to shady associates Senator Obama is the standard barer.
“Barack Obama’s ad is ridiculous,” responded McCain spox Brian Rogers. “Because of John McCain, corruption was exposed and people like Jack Abramoff went to jail.
“However, if Barack Obama wants to have a discussion about truly questionable associations, let’s start with his relationship with the unrepentant terrorist William Ayers, at whose home Obama’s political career was reportedly launched. Mr. Ayers was a leader of the Weather Underground, a terrorist group responsible for countless bombings against targets including the U.S. Capitol, the Pentagon and numerous police stations, courthouses and banks. In recent years, Mr. Ayers has stated, ‘I don’t regret setting bombs … I feel we didn’t do enough.’”

Obama lives in an imaginary world, in which Ayers, Rezko and Wright don’t exist.
