Why doesn't Obama come clean about his relationship with the terrorist Ayers?

Question

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122005063234084813.html

Team Obama has launched an offensive against WGN, the Chicago Tribune's radio station, for interviewing Stanley Kurtz. Mr. Kurtz is a conservative writer who this week forced the University of Illinois to finally open its records on Sen. Obama's association with William Ayers, the unrepentant 1970s Weather Underground terrorist.

Answer 1

He will not clean it up because he cannot clean it up......it is too corrupted and tainted. Obamas attack dogs cannot keep this story in check indefinitely......I predict it will end up exploding in his face (pun intended), leading to an exposure of the "true" Obama......and his inevitable downfall.

Answer 2

the ayers issue is a true fact and the left  is too blind from the

kool-aid of obamaism to see it  

Answer 3

Wow, Ayers donated $200 to Obama's camapign and all of a sudden it's a relationship to you?

Hey, I donated money to Obama....does that mean I have a relationship to him???

Answer 4

The only "relationship" he's had with Ayers is that he bought a house from him. Do you know every detail about the person you bought your home from? I didn't think so.

And besides, the bombing happened when Obama was only 8 years old!

EDIT: No, Obama's house was formerly owned by Ayers. Yes, they served on a commission together, but that does not mean that the two are allies.

Answer 5

because obama does not believe in freedom of speech to be honest. more so, freedom of the press. i think that if all of you obama supporters really believe that the republicans are using this information to hurt him. why not let the story come out? then do your research to see if the story is true or false. lets be honest there is nothing sweeter than proving your opponent wrong!

Answer 6

Yes, I really, truly wish he would.  There is much to know about this trashy scum of the earth, Ayers, that we need to know about.  Note that not many ppl are very informative of the political figures and do not do background checks on their politician.  Therefore, we have someone like Barack Obama thinking he can run for President of the United States of America, and bring his terrorists' friends like Ayers along with him!  Fat chance, buddy!

William Ayers is the second Chicago figure to consider in the political profile of Mr. Obama.  William C. Ayers, known as Bill Ayers, is notorious as a terrorist bomber from the 1970s who, on September 11, 2001, in the New York Times was quoted as finding "a certain eloquence in bombs." Now, at 62, Mr. Ayers, a former aide to the current Mayor Richard M. Daley, is an established professor of education at the University of Illinois in Chicago.  Importantly, Mr. Ayers and his wife, the equally notorious Weatherman terrorist Bernardine Dohrn, hosted a crucial meet-the-candidate event in their Hyde Park neighborhood home in 1995 when Mr. Obama, also a Hyde Park resident, was sounded out by vital citizens, among them the retiring state senator Alice Palmer for the 13th District.

In 1999, Mr. Ayers joined the Woods Fund of Chicago as a director and served alongside Mr. Obama for modest remuneration until Mr. Obama left the board on December 11, 2002; Mr. Ayers was for a time the chairman of the board.  Also of note is the fact that Bernardine Dohrn works for Northwestern University Law School's Children and Family Justice Center, which received a grant from the Woods Fund in 2002.  

Mr. Ayers, who has been described by one supporter as "friends" with Mr. Obama, openly speaks and writes of his role in the 1974 bombing of the U.S. Capitol Building where Mr. Obama now serves.  Mr. Ayers is widely quoted from his reminiscence, which appeared in the New York Times on the infamous Tuesday, September 11, 2001: "I don't regret setting bombs.  I feel we didn't do enough."  When asked in that same interview if he would set more bombs today, his response was, "I don't want to discount the possibility."

Answer 7

Most the people who follow Obama know absolutely nothing except he's for change, what goddamn change, he says he's going to do so many things but HOW? that's what he doesn't say, so dumb people just blindly follow him just how they Blindly followed Hitler a time before. Have you tried to ask any College student why theyre voting for Obama? It's so funny they don't know , all they can say is because he's for CHANGE!! LOL, ahahahaha

Answer 8

He doesn't want anything to hurt his campaign . He will lie, cheat , and steal to get power.

Answer 9

greeneye - and McCain won't? You might not want to say that again when they've shown countless times when McCain flip-flopped and didn't recollect saying it. And when he forgot things.

Let''s not let this get to your head too much.

Answer 10

I think it's rather hilarious that you republicans have nothing better to do then to spread false rumors and lies to bring this man down.Thats why Karma is a m**o, just look at the possiblity of the republican converntion being cancelled..All I have to say is God is in Control now!

Answer 11

Cause if he did, he would have never gotten the nomination, and if he did now, he will never get elected.  Come on, it's not rocket science!
