According to radical activist and Weather Underground co-founder Bill Ayers, American leftists were duped by prevailing conservative narratives into believing that President Obama himself was a tried-and-true leftist, and not the “middle-of-the-road” politician he declares himself to be.
Speaking at a Washington, D.C., book store last Friday, Ayers explained that despite living near Obama in Chicago’s Hyde Park neighborhood and crossing paths many times during their activism, he never viewed the future president as a dedicated “leftist” like himself.
The remarks came in response to a question about whether Ayers ever doubted Obama’s credentials as a true “progressive” or “man of the left.”
“He was a community organizer, to his great credit,” Ayers told the crowd, “but all through the 2008 campaign Barack Obama said, whenever asked, he would say, ‘I am a moderate, compromising, pragmatic, middle-of-the-road, politician.’”
However, Ayers said, conservatives managed to convince themselves that Obama held deeply-seated “socialist” views, while the left believed the president was
The right-wing looked at him, and said, “No, he’s a secret socialist, palling around with terrorists and Palestinians; he has a fiery black nationalist minister; he’s probably a black nationalist on top of everything else.” And the left wing looked at him and said, “He’s winking in our direction, I feel it.”

This terrorist is out signing books when he should be in prison.
Worse: people are buying them.

Ayers is a habitual liar. Other than learning about his latest lie there is no value or credibility in anything he says.
Bill Ayres is trying to convince us that his protégé Obama is not a hard-core leftist. Sorry, Bill, not all of us are fooled by this masquerade!
BUSH'S FAULT !
Apparently, they can't really think for themselves. Before Madcow and Matthews really got going, they were listening to Rush?
He's been known to substitute cole slaw for fries when he orders a hamburger. Aside from that, not at all.
Isnt Obama the new Ronald Reagan?
I believe he has said as much
Compared to Ayers he probably was
A liar’s liar puts forth nonsense to confuse what he believes to be ignorant masses.
Just this once!!!!
0bama wasn’t lying!
Ok who is left of Obama...Stalin?
OMG. Obunga-bunga is even more left that Bill Ayers. And that is saying a lot.
