Obama's "BFF".............

Former radical Bill Ayers told some people he had ghost-written Obama's autobiography. Is William Ayers setting bombs again, or are our journalists too eager to print a story?

Some were taken in and repeated this. This proclaims a need for Journalistic ethics and professionalism, especially in this time of polarization.

Recall Ayers was a radical, probably didn't know Obama well, and the right
e.g. Sarah Palin said Obama was "pal-ing around with a terrorist."

Ayers himself wrote this after Obama was elected:
