"An issue certainly Republicans will be raising" should Obama be the Democratic nominee for president, Obama rival Hillary Clinton said.
Ayers, 63, spent 10 years as a fugitive in the 1970s when he was part of the "Weather Underground." (The FBI labeled a "domestic terrorist group.")

Barack Hussein Obama refers to radical Weather Underground terrorist William Ayers as "just a neighbor." As it turns out, Obama’s ties to Ayers have much deeper roots then just the guy next door.
Obama used to run a foundation called “The Annenberg Challenge on Excellence” – founded by William Ayers.

If you vote in the Poll, please add some comments in a post.
I'd love to see some of Barack Obama supporters explain the Barack and Bill friendship and working relationship.
Why ask Obama supporters to explain anything, you cited the Sun-Times, here is what they wrote:
Ayers and Obama both served on the board of directors of the Woods Fund, a Chicago-based charity that focuses on developing community groups to assist the poor. A variety of business executives, journalists and academics serve on the board.

So, 10 year old Obama was supposed to know that?
The government has the power to label anyone it wants as terrorists for any reason it wants, so that doesn't really mean anything.

That's misleading, but certainly something I'd expect from you.
I checked the FBI web-site and didn't see Bill Ayers' name listed among the terrorists.

Obama is a lawyer and a politician, not a private investigator. I think most people would be filing for bankruptcy if they had to hire a private investigator to do a background check on every person within a 10 mile radius.

Obama ran the foundation when he was 12 years old?
Or was that later, after the government dropped all charges against Ayers and failed to prosecute him?
I find this entire embrace our "first black president" and don't call him muslim or blame him for his family full of 1/2 sibilings based on his fathers actions most interesting....
his father was black/momma white. Raised by wealthy white people in Hawaii (grandparents), lived a white existance in "paradise" but claims to have suffered like some poor kid praying for heating oil in the ghetto in Chicago during the dead of winter...but now lays no claims to being anything but black.
On the other hand, has a butt load of 1/2 sibilings living in other countries in squallor and poverty with middle name Hussian, hangs out with known terrorist, and a "reverand" that spews hate and violence against white people, but does not want to be attached to them even tho this is where he has DECIDED to aligin himself with since adulthood????? His choice.
So those that have annointed him the "choosen one" do so because he is black. If you check his dance card folks, you would find him much more qualified to be called a risk to this country and nation based on his friends/actions as an adult than you would black because of his daddy's knocking up his momma before he ran off leaving Barry to be raised as a poor little white boy in Hawaii. Yet he clings to the one thing in his life he had NO control of and wants to be identified by them, but wants to be overlooked for those choices he has made and given a free pass without question...and you are picking on me because I am black is the excuse we are to accept for his poor choices of actions/friends/mentors/business dealings as an adult and you are pulling the race card when these crediable questions are being asked????

Good post. And would just add, nature abhors a vacuum. Barry evidently spent many years as an empty vessel, or vacuum, looking for an identity. And he found one, starting with his association with Michelle and his fellow marxist cohorts in college. He hit the big time in Chicago, with so many scurrilous and shady types who also recognized an "empty vessel", which could be easily filled with their tripe. But the filling up just hasn't turned out very well for Obamba, it has come back to haunt him and always will, so long as he pursues political and public life.
