Ayers calls Obama 'a family friend' (i thought obambo said he didnt know ayers?...LOLOL!) Comment appears in new afterword to his 2001 book —Rex W. Huppke November 14, 2008 Don't worry. You haven't heard the last of former Weather Underground radical and polarizing presidential campaign figure William Ayers. The university professor from Chicago was scheduled to appear Friday on "Good Morning America," promoting an updated version of his 2001 memoir "Fugitive Days." (Viva capitalism!) In the book's new afterword, Ayers describes Barack Obama as "a family friend," which contrasts with Obama's description of him as "a guy who lives in my neighborhood." Conservative bloggers and talk-show hosts repeatedly tried to make a guilt-by-association connection between Obama and Ayers throughout the campaign, insisting their relationship was deeper than Obama admitted. Ayers' addition to his book should keep right-wing kibitzers busy for a while. chicagotribune.com
