Meanwhile… News surfaced today that Bill Ayers, the “guy who lived down the street from me”, just happened to share an office with Barack Obama in Chicago.

More… John McCain responded to Barack Obama’s speech today–
During the event Barack Obama defended his economic plan to issue tax credits to Americans that pay zero income tax in the first place:

“Barack Obama would give tax cuts to Americans who don’t pay any income taxes – it’s a policy Democrats used to call welfare, what Barack Obama calls ‘spreading the wealth around,’ and what Joe the Plumber calls socialism.” —Tucker Bounds, spokesman McCain-Palin 2008

** Tax Policy Center: Under Obama’s Plan, he would direct $100.6 billion In 2009 To Households Who Pay No Income Tax. This is in essentially a check written to the 56.9 million households who will pay no income tax under existing law, plus an additional 15.4 million households who will have either no tax liability or receive a net refund due to Obama’s refundable tax credits.
