If Barack Hussein Obama gets elected will he pick William Ayers to take the troops out?

Question

...of Iraq in his positions as Secretary of Defense?

Answer 1

Sounds like you're not aware of McCain's 74 flip flops.

National Security Policy

1. McCain thought Bush’s warrantless-wiretap program circumvented the law; now he believes the opposite.

2. McCain insisted that everyone, even “terrible killers,” “the worst kind of scum of humanity,” and detainees at Guantanamo Bay, “deserve to have some adjudication of their cases,” even if that means “releasing some of them.” McCain now believes the opposite.

3. He opposed indefinite detention of terrorist suspects. When the Supreme Court reached the same conclusion, he called it “one of the worst decisions in the history of this country.”

4. In February 2008, McCain reversed course on prohibiting waterboarding.

5. McCain was for closing the detention facility at Guantanamo Bay before he was against it.

6. When Barack Obama talked about going after terrorists in Pakistani mountains with predators, McCain criticized him for it. He’s since come to the opposite conclusion.

Foreign Policy

7. McCain was for kicking Russia out of the G8 before he was against it. Now, he’s for it again.

8. McCain supported moving “towards normalization of relations” with Cuba. Now he believes the opposite.

9. McCain believed the U.S. should engage in diplomacy with Hamas. Now he believes the opposite.

10. McCain believed the U.S. should engage in diplomacy with Syria. Now he believes the opposite.

11. McCain is both for and against a “rogue state rollback” as a focus of his foreign policy vision.

12. McCain used to champion the Law of the Sea convention, even volunteering to testify on the treaty’s behalf before a Senate committee. Now he opposes it.

13. McCain was against divestment from South Africa before he was for it.

Military Policy

14. McCain recently claimed that he was the “greatest critic” of Rumsfeld’s failed Iraq policy. In December 2003, McCain praised the same strategy as “a mission accomplished.” In March 2004, he said, “I’m confident we’re on the right course.” In December 2005, he said, “Overall, I think a year from now, we will have made a fair amount of progress if we stay the course.”

15. McCain has changed his mind about a long-term U.S. military presence in Iraq on multiple occasions, concluding, on multiple occasions, that a Korea-like presence is both a good and a bad idea.

16. McCain was against additional U.S. forces in Afghanistan before he was for it.

17. McCain said before the war in Iraq, “We will win this conflict. We will win it easily.” Four years later, McCain said he knew all along that the war in Iraq war was “probably going to be long and hard and tough.”

18. McCain has repeatedly said it’s a dangerous mistake to tell the “enemy” when U.S. troops would be out of Iraq. In May, McCain announced that most American troops would be home from Iraq by 2013.

19. McCain was against expanding the GI Bill before he was for it.

20. McCain staunchly opposed Obama’s Iraq withdrawal timetable, and even blasted Mitt Romney for having referenced the word during the GOP primaries. In July, after Iraqi officials endorsed Obama’s policy, McCain said a 16-month calendar sounds like “a pretty good timetable.”

Domestic Policy

21. McCain defended “privatizing” Social Security. Now he says he’s against privatization (though he actually still supports it.)

22. On Social Security, McCain said he would not, under any circumstances, raise taxes. Soon after, asked about a possible increase in the payroll tax, McCain said there’s “nothing that’s off the table.”

23. McCain wanted to change the Republican Party platform to protect abortion rights in cases of rape and incest. Now he doesn’t.

24. McCain supported storing spent nuclear fuel at Yucca Mountain in Nevada. Now he believes the opposite.

25. He argued the NRA should not have a role in the Republican Party’s policy making. Now he believes the opposite.

26. In 1998, he championed raising cigarette taxes to fund programs to cut underage smoking, insisting that it would prevent illnesses and provide resources for public health programs. Now, McCain opposes a $0.61-per-pack tax increase, won’t commit to supporting a regulation bill he’s co-sponsoring, and has hired Philip Morris’ former lobbyist as his senior campaign adviser.

27. McCain is both for and against earmarks for Arizona.

28. McCain’s first mortgage plan was premised on the notion that homeowners facing foreclosure shouldn’t be “rewarded” for acting “irresponsibly.” His second mortgage plan took largely the opposite position.

29. McCain went from saying g*y marriage should be allowed, to saying g*y marriage shouldn’t be allowed.

30. McCain opposed a holiday to honor Martin Luther King, Jr., before he supported it.

31. McCain was anti-ethanol. Now he’s pro-ethanol.

32. McCain was both for and against state promotion of the Confederate flag.

33. In 2005, McCain endorsed intelligent design creationism, a year later he said  

Answer 2

haha

and he will invite Larry Sinclair for private meetings

Answer 3

Hopefully Obama will not be elected. It is crazy that Obama claims it doesn't matter whether or not he is friends with Ayers, since Ayers was involved in bombing the Capitol with the Weather Underground when Obama was 5. Kind of like saying it was his white grandma's fault he went to a racist church as an adult. He may have been a kid then, but supposedly he is an adult now...so he should take responsibility and ownership of his actions as an adult!! Ayers has never had a conscience or felt bad about bombing and killing innocent people. He still doesn't today. He says they should have done MORE bombings. For Obama to want to be in charge at the Capitol and be friends with someone who BOMBED the Capitol is disturbing to say the least.

Obama has said that he wants to DISARM the U.S. of nuclear weapons and then maybe start a NEW war with Pakistan (a muslim country with nukes). Talk about taking a knife to a gunfight. Obama is NUTS!!

Answer 4

WOW.

more hate from the right side of the aisle.

Answer 5

beep.BEEP.beep.BEEP.24.

Answer 6

No, I don't think so.

Barack Hussein Obama promised not to put our troops in harm's way.

Instead Obama will subcontract our national defense to China, Cuba and Iran.

With his "Change" plan, we won't lose any solider on battlefield

Don't you love Obama?

Answer 7

He barely knows Ayers; Ayers is not qualified to do that job, so no.

Answer 8

Obama's affiliation is no worse than Bush's deep connections with the bin Ladens. Remember that Obama is a member of the Bush & Cheney family, and bloodlines have always played an important role in the Presidency.

<---not an Obama or McCain supporter

Answer 9

No. Professor William Ayers would likely be in charge of bringing the American Education system up to where it is at least competitive with European education systems.

After all, Bill Ayers is the Distinguished Professor of Education at the University of Illinois.
