As Democrats and Independents weigh who they want to run against John McCain in the fall, answer this question.  Can you support a candidate who is friends with terrorists?  Can you support a candidate who takes money from terrorists?  Well, if Obama is your man you have some problems.  Today's Bloomberg News drops this bombshell:

Besides Rezko and Giannoulias, Obama could face questions about his  relationship with William Ayers, a former member of the radical group the  Weather Underground who is now a professor of education at the University of  Illinois in Chicago. Ayers donated $200 in 2001 to Obama's Illinois state Senate  campaign and served with him from 1999 to 2002 on the board of the Woods Fund,  an anti-poverty group.

A Series of Bombings

The Weather Underground carried out a series of bombings in the early 1970s  -- including the U.S. Capitol and the Pentagon. While Ayers was never prosecuted  for those attacks, he told the New York Times in an interview published Sept.  11, 2001, that ``I don't regret setting bombs.''

Bill Burton, Obama's spokesman, said Ayers ``does not have a role on the  campaign.'' Ayers said he had no comment on his relationship with Obama.

Does not have a role on the campaign?   Well thank God for that.  Are you kidding me?
