Damn, talk about calling people out. You hit it on the nail. Obama wants it both ways because he knows this one has legs if people start listening.
Just like he says McCain is using smear ads while he slips out his own smear ads.
Good post

Not to be picky, but wasn't Obama a part of private Boards with Ayers (kind of like a private administration), didn't he vote with Ayers on the Boards, and didn't he support Ayers in these ventures?

He was on a public school reform board with Ayers, which many other people were apart of including Republicans.

How convenient for him to forget about the very history you posted.
When did he lie about it? Did he ever say he was close to Ayers?

He first claimed to not really know Ayers except for the fact that he was a guy that "Lived in his neighborhood".

Yes, Obama lied.
1. He did not mention serving on the CAC at all with Ayers.
2. He also did not mention serving on the Woods Fund Board with Ayers, which he did from 1992 through 2000 (blog.washingtonpost.com...)
3. He did not mention that Ayers contributed $200 to Obama's re-election fund.
4. He also did not mention that he attended a campaign fundraiser at the Ayers home in 1995.
That's hardly being forthcoming with information.

Maybe a dumb question, but......
He knew he was running for President. He knew people would be looking for dirt on him. Why not just disclose the information instead of having the media or his opponents find it out and use it to raise questions?
If he had done the above, do you think this would be such a big deal to some people? Like I said, judgement and character matter....whether it is associations or lying or withholding pertinent information.
