Does anyone know for a fact when Obama learned of Ayers' past?

I found this response on this topic on a blog. Not bad:

Six degrees of separation type connection. I have done community work locally with individuals I barely knew and found out later that they had previous criminal records. Now if I run for office will I be guilty by association? With this kind of logic serving diner at a soup kitchen can be politically damning act.

In the articles I've read about Ayers, they always include:

"I don't regret setting bombs . . . . . I feel we didn't do enough."

Don't get me wrong, I think the whole crowd was way off the deep end, and I was never in the same hemisphere with that kind of crap in those days.

My point is this quote is misleading. The larger context reveals that he said something like "I feel we didn't do enough . . . to stop the war." He's also said that upon seeing the documentary about the weathermen, he was struck by their arrogant belief that they alone had the answer.

I'm sick of this crap.

Come up with real facts or shut up.
