Obama and Ayers, "he thought he was rehabilitated...

Barack Obama was interviewed and stated that "The gentleman in question, Bill Ayers, is a college professor, teaches education at the University of Illinois," he said. "That's how i met him -- working on a school reform project that was funded by an ambassador and very close friend of Ronald Reagan's" along with "a bunch of conservative businessmen and civic leaders."
"Ultimately, I ended up learning about the fact that he had engaged in this reprehensible act 40 years ago, but I was eight years old at the time and I assumed that he had been rehabilitated," Obama said. As Ben Smith from the Politico has reported.

What is funny to me is that even after in 2001, Bill Ayers stated that they "should have done more," as Bernadine Dohrn has stated as well, he never really spoke out against them until after he was campaigning for President. What I find interesting is that Leonore Annenberg, the wife of Walter Annenberg of the Annenberg Foundations, has endorsed John McCain. Why can't Obama be a man and admit that he was wrong and showed bad judgement when choosing to associate with Ayers? Why? Because he does not see a problem with it, I mean in his book "Dreams From my Father" on page 100, he does say "To avoid being mistaken for a sellout, I chose my friends carefully. The more politically active black students. The foreign students. The Chicanos. The Marxist professors and structural feminists."

So who were these Marxist Professors? Professors like William Ayers? It is clear that he knew, and would have sought the approval of professors like Ayers. Remember, he did not want to be seen as a sellout.
