“WASHINGTON – Barack Obama’s top political adviser said today Obama “didn’t know the history” of unrepentant bomber William Ayers’ activities in the violent Weather Underground movement when the candidate attended a political event at Ayers’ home in 1995.
“When he went he certainly didn’t know the history,” chief Obama strategist David Axelrod told CNN – arguing for the first time since the story surfaced early this year that Obama was unaware of Ayers’ past.
“There’s no evidence that they’re close,” Axelrod added.
“There’s no evidence that Obama in any way subscribed to any of Ayers’ views. And Obama’s been very clear about condemning the despicable acts that Bill Ayers committed 40 years ago when Obama was 8 years old.”
So you mean to tell me that Barack Obama, Harvard trained lawyer never heard or read or studied anything in his entire academic career that covered William Ayers and his past?
Hell, I learned about it first in High School. Who in the hell is he kidding?

1I read on one of the blogs that Obama turned in his law license voluntarily to avoid being disbarred. Is there any way to find out if this is true?
