Well, if the dark and ominous " they" had been planning for his Presidency since his birth, could "they " have not also engineered his eventual collaboration with Ayers at the University of Chicago where "they" knew both men would be working as early as Obamas birth in 1960?
BTW, Obama was also a Professor of Constitutional Law at that time. (Just a little factoid.)

I can't believe you're talking about this either.
Partisan bickering wins again.

serious question:
Does anyone here personally know anyone that belives this. I sure don't.
I am begining to think that this is a non issue being propelled by the left media.

Pete raised the Ayers issue at post 19. It's a BS issue and always has been. As has been pointed out, there are a number of Republicans and other conservatives who served on those committees as well. If there is guilt by association by serving on the same educational committee as Ayers the associated guilt spreads across the spectrum. I don't think the conservatives endorsed Ayers' past activities any more or less than Obama did. What they endorsed was an opportunity to obtain substantial funding to help Chicago schoolchildren.

It wouldn't be an issue if Obama didn't pretend he barely knew the guy. Par for the course.
I can't consider ANYONE who says this: ''I don't regret setting bombs. I feel we didn't do enough.'', or delights in stomping on the flag, to be anything near respectable. How they got the old school Chicago Dem machine to merge with them is beyond me.

Maybe he did barely know him. Serving on part time voluntary boards with someone isn't the same as "palling around" with him.

You're a Christian, right? Doesn't that mean you believe in redemption? I'd say that Ayers' life and career since the '70s is indicative of a profound change in his philosophy.

Ayers clarified that the "we" to whom he was referring is all citizens, that we all didn't do enough to stop the war, he was not saying they should have blown up more buildings.

As a moderate Democrat I know elsewhere said, after Blagovich hit the fan (can't WAIT for that ), 'I'm tired of Obama standing next to a pile of crap and saying he didn't smell anything.'

Yeah, one can be a child of and immersed in a culture like the Chicago political scene and STILL be a saint, obviously.
