It's much worse than "interesting"...

That's a BIG problem Obama supporters push aside when they hear Obama say that he shouldn't be be criticized for hanging with a guy who did stuff 40 years ago...
AYERS IS NOT SORRY FOR HIS ACTIONS...HE STILL BELIEVES HE WAS JUST...
Would you not only be friends with, but work on a charity fund AND a board AND kickstart your political career at the house of a guy who does't feel sorry for raping a young child?...How about a guy who killed his parents and tells people he did the right thing?...
I don't think so...
If Ayers was truly sorry for his actions and was completely rehabilitated and rallied against people who thought and acted like he once did, there'd be a shot at this being a non-issue...Think of a gang-banger who goes around telling kids not to join gangs or a former junkie doing school assemblies speaking about the dangers of addiction...in fact, that would be pretty commendable..
But Ayers is no such person...
He still defends his actions and those of the Weathermen and is totally unrepentant for planting bombs and having his organization kill policemen...
And if Obama says he didn't know this while not only working with him,
but also giving him hundreds of thousands of dollars while he was the president of the Annenberg Challenge charity fund, then he is blatantly ignorant or downright lying...
