Yes - and that's the issue.

This story will likely disappear: most media sources are obsessed with Obama and unquestioningly devoted to him. The last thing they want to deal with is a serious issue like this.

But it is nevertheless a question that should be answered. If it is another case of his involvement with radicals, that needs to be explained.

There is no indication that he accepts the beliefs of Ayers, or those of his fanatical pastor, but his involvement is certainly significant. It may be a case of youthful stupidity, or it may be a case of passivity, or both. Obama appears to be a man with no set principles or beliefs. That is definitely a problem.
