The bottom line is that the “Obama’s Shady Past” narrative was created out of the need to distract voters and candidates from discussing the real issues… Hillary tried it and failed – and now McCain has made it the centerpiece of his campaign.
In fact, McCain’s campaign manager, Rick Davis explained it all perfectly:
“John McCain tried to point out how people should be informed about Barack Obama’s background, including his relationships with domestic terrorists like William Ayers. People are going to form these judgments. It’s great fodder for us to debate every day. I think it’s fun,”
Fun!
