An interesting bit of info....taken from a forward I received....
If Barack Obama would apply for a job with the FBI, Secret Service or any Law Enforcement job, he would be disqualified because of his past association with William Ayers, a known terrorist. If he is elected President he would not qualify to be his own body guard!
(And the majority of the people don't seem to care.)
Now isn't this something to think about!

I've never been a political person, but I think everyone should check out www.factcheck.org to make sure they have correct information. It's so important leading up to Election Day..
http://www.factcheck.org/elections-2008/he_lied_about_bill_ayers.html
Here's part of what is on the site above:
Sen. John McCain has dialed up his attacks on Sen. Barack Obama's past association with former Weather Underground activist Bill Ayers. He released a 30-second TV spot Oct. 10 claiming Obama "lied" about Ayers. A day earlier he announced a 90-second Internet ad claiming that Obama and Ayers "ran a radical education foundation together" and suggesting Obama was being untruthful.
We find McCain's accusation that Obama "lied" to be groundless. It is true that recently released records show half a dozen or so more meetings between the two men than were previously known, but Obama never denied working with Ayers.
Other claims are seriously misleading. The education project described in the Web ad, far from being "radical," had the support of the Republican governor and was run by a board that included prominent local leaders, including one Republican who has donated $1,500 to McCain's campaign this year. The project is described by Education Week as reflecting "mainstream thinking" about school reform.
Despite the newly released records, there's still no evidence of a deep or strong "friendship" with Ayers, a former radical anti-war protester whose actions in the 1960s and '70s Obama has called "detestable" and "despicable."
Even the description of Ayers as a "terrorist" is a matter of interpretation. Setting off bombs can fairly be described as terrorism even when they are intended to cause only property damage, which is what Ayers has admitted doing in his youth. But for nearly three decades since, Ayers has lived the relatively quiet life of an educator. It would be correct to call him a "former terrorist," and an "unapologetic" one at that. But if McCain means the word "terrorist" to invoke images of 9/11, he's being misleading; Ayers is no Osama bin Laden now, and never was.
Your section of article involving these two individuals is "true" and I did not have anything in my post that was saying otherwise. All my blog was stating was that they had an association and it would be delved into if he were to apply for a government position. This information was not stating that he lied about it....just that they knew each other which he has admitted too. I called it "You decide..." for that reason....for you to decide. Yes Tracy, I do agree that individuals need to spend more time researching their politician of choice....that is why it astounds me that they continue to rely on the shortcut sites to do everything for them. IF anything at all, those sites should be used to gather starting points for individual digging to seek the truth. Both candidates are slinging left and right....and they are counting on the people to not put in the time. I understand why this post would get under your skin...I do know your position. IT was simply a bit of info I decided to post on my blog to entice a little thought...maybe even challange any readers to truly do some research and seek out the truths which are buried on the internet. Not just on this issue ....but all the others that are glossed over for convenience. That was what was for the reader to decide....
But thank you for your comment...I was expecting to hear from you.
The Facts are:
-William Ayers is a Domestic Terrorist. When you commit the act of bombing a Federal building such as the US Capital Building and the Pentagon, whether the intent was to kill or just cause property damage, you become a Terrorist. Any attempt to downplay that fact is ridiculous. No he is not comparable to Bin Laden but he is a Terrorist none the less.
-Obama and Ayers served on the same Education reform board
-Michelle Obama and William Ayers wife worked together in the same law office
-Obama kicked off his political career at Ayers home
-Any Federal Government agency that will issue you a badge and a gun does a complete and comprehensive background search on you and all of your known associates.
When those facts are combined with Government policy for approval for those positions, while Obama and Ayers may not be best of chums, there is an undeniable relationship that would more then likely disqualify him from serving in any one of these government positions.
On a side note I never pass up a chance to rip on Michigan. Did you know William Ayers is from Michigan. He received a B.S. from the University of Michigan (yes the actual degree B.S. not just a lot of BS). Do you know who else went to the good ol’ U of M… Ted Kaczynski aka The Unabomber. I don’t know if they ever met each other but weird little fact…they were both there AT THE SAME TIME!!! Ayers graduated the spring of 1968 and Ted left after earning a Masters and PHD in the fall of 1967.
A lot of Ayers first stints into organized radicalism were in Michigan. Good places like Detroit and Flint. Oh I wonder if either of them knew the Nichols family over in Decker. You remember Terry Nichols that guy that helped in the Oklahoma City bombings.
