I believe he said they don’t communicate “on a regular basis” To me, that means they STILL COMMUNICATE, just not every day. Maybe one week it’s Monday, Wednesday, Sunday. And the next week, it’s Tuesday and Friday. That’s not a regular basis, ie. not consistently every day or every other day.
Yeah, I understand that. I was saying that I’ve heard the campaign SAY Obama has condemned Ayers, but I can’t find the actual real time quote from 0 himself actually condemning Ayers.
Closest thing I’ve found is a quote from Obama on Fox News Sunday, April 27, 2008:
“Now, Mr. Ayres is a 60 plus year old individual who lives in my neighborhood, who did something that I deplore 40 years ago when I was six or seven years old.”

Deplore means:
1 a: to feel or express grief for
b: to regret strongly2: to consider unfortunate or deserving of deprecation (many critics deplore his methods)
And regret means:
1 a: to mourn the loss or death of
b: to miss very much
2: to be very sorry for (regrets his mistakes)
So, Obama still hasn’t condemned Ayers. It’s apparently OK with Obama that Ayers still hasn’t repented of his bombings and his anti-American views, though Obama regrets that the bombings took place.
Obama might be sorry the bombings took place, but the guy who founded the group that did the bombings, the guy who taught others how to build those bombs, that guy is just a regular guy who happens to live in Obama’s neighborhood.
