"Ayers and Obama also served together on a Chicago school reform board and a foundation board, but their discussions were limited to the issues before those boards, and the two never talked about anything he wrote in his book."

That doesn't bode well for Democrats...

"Wow, the Republicans stupidity and lack of financial oversight can bring the global economy to its knees, but they can't find an old guy with breathing problems living in a cave."
