ESTERO, FL - Sarah Palin expanded her attack this afternoon on Barack Obama for associating with former 1960s radical William Ayers, suggesting the Democratic presidential candidate knew of Ayers' ties to Weather Underground and saying Obama does not have the judgment or truthfulness to be president.
"Today, they're saying for the first time that Barack Obama didn't know back then about Ayers's radical background," Palin told a rowdy crowd of 8,800 people at the Germain Arena. "But it was only a few months ago that Barack was saying that Ayers was just a 'guy in my neighborhood.'"
Palin said she found it unbelievable that Obama "didn't know a few months ago that he had launched his political career in the living room of a domestic terrorist."
"So what's next?" she said. "Claiming their ticket doesn't define higher taxes as patriotic? Or claiming he's just learned that tax increases on small business kill jobs? Claiming he's just learned that American soldiers don't actually target and kill civilians in Afghanistan? Or claiming he's surprised that the surge and the war on terrorism is a success? Oh wait, he's already done that."
Palin also suggested Obama was unfit to lead the country.
"Ladies and gentlemen, that pattern, this is about the truthfulness and judgment needed in our next president," she said. "John McCain has it, Barack Obama doesn't have it."
