These people are left-wing freaks. For them, bombing police stations and the Pentagon are fond memories, the way other couples might remember a special weekend at a bed-and-breakfast in Vermont.
Obama saw that they were useful allies in the left-wing freak political atmosphere of Hyde Park. So as a state senate candidate, he embraced them. But on a national level such people become liabilities, so he threw them under the bus. The same can be said of Jeremiah Wright.
I contend he is pwned by them
Ayers and his radical connections hooked up with the identity-seeking obama at Columbia (or before) and saw someone they could use. Chicago is pwned by the Ayers family. What better place to launch this fool into national politics. Remember Ayers even wrote his autobiography-the one that pays obama's family millions a year still in royalties. The perfect wash.
obama is an Ayers creation. Bernadine Dohrn even steered michelle into obamas life. The perfect angryblack entitled ambitious malleable corruptible luxuryloving beyotch.
and the Days of Rage radicals are NOT not going away, only burrowing deep into the govt bureaucracies and agencies and policy-making circles, with those they have mentored and cultivated for the past 30 years, the wonky angry marxists that draft those 2000 page bills that get passed and signed with no one reading them.
Ayers visits the WH fairly regularly based on released visitor logs. What could a guy like Bill Ayers, preschool teacher, possibly have to say that is of regular top level interest to the office of the potus?
You're right, these people are freaks and they probably think that those times were 'the good ole' days'.
