I saw this political ad on TV and...?

Question

it said that Obama is BFFs with a dude who bombed the Capitol or something like that. Is this true or is this just some exaggerated stuff? Please provide news links :D

Answer 1

don't believe any political ad. its just to scare you into voting for their guy. personally, i'm not for any of the candidates, but try to come up with ur own opinion. sorry don't have any links, but its probably not true.

Obama and William Ayers served on some board for a Chicago foundation.  Ayers was a campaign contributor of Obama's.  How close they are as friends seem to be debatable.

Answer 3

The ad was speaking of William Ayers, a 60's radical.  It is not clear how close they were.
