Obama and Ayers - according to Ayers.

Obama described Ayers as - someone who lived in his neighborhood.
Obama denied having a fundraiser at Ayers' home.
Obama denied being a friend of Ayers, and in fact, stated clearly - he was just some guy. Obama said that he was 4 years old when Ayers did what he did, so give him a break.

The argument and the logic. It worked Obama. The people were not bright enough to see through your wordsmithing.

An unreptentent terrorist, and you Mr. Obama served on a board with the guy, he selected you to run a money distribution board - to seed money where it was needed - wherever that might be, to the tune of $16 million a year.

Just another guy in the neigborhood!





William Ayers describes President-elect Obama as ‘family friend’

CHICAGO - Vietnam-era radical Bill Ayers broke his silence and took to ABC’s “Good Morning America” yesterday, shilling a new edition of his book, and claiming he doesn’t know President-elect Barack Obama any better than “thousands of other Chicagoans.”

In the new afterword to his 2001 memoir, “Fugitive Days,” the college professor and former member of the 1960s terrorist group the Weathermen, he describes himself and Obama as “family friends.”

“I would really say that we knew each other in a professional way, again on the same level as, say, thousands of other people,” he said.

Ayers helped found the radical group the Weathermen that carried out bombings that killed several police officers and security guards. His name came up repeatedly in the presidential campaign, when GOP veep candidate Sarah Palin accused Obama of “palling around with terrorists.”

Ayers hosted a fund-raising coffee early in Obama’s political career at Ayers’ home in the Chicago neighborhood where the two live. They also served together on a Chicago school reform board.

Ayers also defended his own actions during the Vietnam war. Although he was quoted in 2001 saying, “I don’t regret setting bombs . . . I feel we didn’t do enough,” he has denied in recent interviews that he was involved in terrorism.

“Let’s remember that what you call a violent past, that was at a time when thousands of people were being murdered by our government every month, and those of us who fought to end the war were actually on the right side,” he told ABC. “I never hurt or killed anyone.”
