Why should I listen to you? Are YOU tell people who still say that Obama was born in Kenya, that he is a terrorist, an Arab etc. to think with their heads? I don't see it.. so don't dictate what I should or should not do!
So, you prefer to be a robot? SAD regardless of who you are voting for.
International Herald Tribune Fox News runs controversial opinion program on Obama's connections - International Herald Tribune
Various reports, including ones in The New York Times, have found no evidence that Obama and Ayers were particularly close, although they have had various points of contact. Ayers was host of an event for Obama early in his political career, they served together on a charitable board, and both worked on an educational project financed by the billionaire philanthropist Walter Annenberg.

Do they "pal around with terrorists," too? The President of the University of Illinois? Seriously?
How about the fact that Annenberg himself was a billionaire Republican who funded the board?
How about the fact that Obama was invited to be on the board not by Ayers, but by two of the other board members?
What else?
Oh yes, Ayers--a fellow board member-- held a fund-raiser for Obama's Senate campaign in his house. At which several other leading members of Chicago society were present.
That's it. That is the extent of Obama's relationship to Ayers.
The enormous claims that have been made by the neo-cons about their supposed "close friendship" are simply pure, unadulterated bullsh*t. Fear-mongering. Fear-baiting. Whipping up the frenzy of the base.
Yes we know. Obama supporters don't care about anything negative that comes up about their candidate.
Got a news flash, not only do Obama supporters not care, but neither does anyone outside of the ridiculous right. You folks have been riding this one trick pony for weeks now, you might look at the polls and see how impressed everyone is with the story.
Sad... that some people don't care about history, where people came from, what they did, why they did it,,, cause, ya know, its history that shapes who we are, and provides foundation of what we will do.
I watched the video, nothing in there said Obama was a terrorist..
This is the worse kind of inference and politics
They worked together on the Annenberg Challenge to improve schools and on the Woods project. Obama was not involved in the 60's.
Obama has said he deplore's the guys actions.
The city of Chicago gave Ayers the citizen of the year award in 1997...
Sorry I found nothing earth shaking on the video
