Obama and terrorist William Ayers

According to Campaign Manger David Axelrod, Obama has a "friendly relationship" with unrepented Chicago terrorist William Ayers. Ayers and his wife were a part of the Weatherman Underground Terrorist Organization in the 60's. On September 11, 2001 of all days, Ayers wrote in the NYT that he is unrepented of bombing Capital buildings, the Pentagon, etc. and it fact, "wished we would have done more."

Now here's some facts-

  • Ayers was one of the original grantees of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, a school reform organization in the 1990s, and was co-chairman of the Chicago School Reform Collaborative, one the two operational arms of the CAC. Obama, then not yet a state senator, became chairman of the CAC in 1995.
  • Later in that year, the first organizing meeting for Obama's state Senate campaign was held in Ayers's apartment.
  • Served on a board with Ayers and gave speeches together.
  • Obama says that Ayers "is just a guy who lives in the neighborhood." Yeah, whatever Obama.

I, in no way think that Obama approves of Ayers radical actions in the past. As Obama correctly stated, he was a little one when all of this happened. The whole point is, what in the world is ANYBODY doing being associated with this A-hole, much less somebody who wants to be our President?

Nobody can convince me that this doesn't matter. Obama's judgment is sorely lacking in many areas, look no further than his associations.
