| Is
Obama a friend of Bill Ayers?
No,
the two are not close associates and certainly not
friends.
Bill
Ayers is a professor in the College of Education at the
University of Illinois in Chicago. In 1969 Ayers co-founded
the radical organization the Weather
Underground, which conducted a campaign of bombing
public buildings during the 1960s and 1970s. Obama was a boy
of 8 at the time and did not know Ayers.
Obama
and Ayers, who became a fully rehabilitated citizen, later lived in the same area of Chicago. The two met at a
lunch meeting about school reform. Between 2000 and 2002,
they served on the board of anti-poverty group Woods Fund
of Chicago. Obama has repeatedly condemned Ayers' actions
in the Weather Underground.
Sarah
Palin has accused Obama of "palling around with
terrorists" in reference to Ayers, who says: "Pal
around together? What does that mean? Share a milkshake
with two straws? ... I think my relationship with Obama
was probably like thousands of others in Chicago. And,
like millions and millions of others, I wish I knew him
better."
