Quotes about Barack Obama
Today they're saying for the first time that Barack Obama didn't know back then about Ayers' radical background.
said Sarah Palin
I have used my prudential judgment ... And I conclude that it is a proper moral choice for this Catholic to support Barack Obama's candidacy.
said Nicholas Cafardi
in LifeSite.net
Barack Obama said Ayers was just someone in the neighborhood ... But that's less than truthful. His own top adviser said they were, quote, 'certainly friendly.' In fact, Obama held one of the first meetings of his political career in Bill Ayers' home. And they've worked together on various projects in Chicago.
said Sarah Palin
in NPR
Now, Barack Obama had said that all we're doing in Afghanistan is air-raiding villages and killing civilians. And such a reckless, reckless comment and untrue comment, again, hurts our cause.
said Sarah Palin
