Obama friend William Ayers in his booking photo. Ayers never did time for his admitted terrorist activities because his case was dismissed after FBI wiretaps were ruled illegal.
UPDATE/FACT CHECK: Obama’s Pennsylvania debate statement that President Clinton “pardoned” two members of the Weather Underground (the same 60’s terrorist organization that Obama supporter, fellow board member, and Obama "friend” William Ayers was a leader of) was, at a minimum, misleading.
Obama was apparently referring to the fact that in November of 1994, President Clinton granted CLEMENCY to two "radical airheads", Susan Rosenberg and Linda Sue Evans. These women were naïve children of privilege who (unlike Ayers) were not directly involved in bombings or killings, but were support players in the Underground: drivers of getaway cars, haulers of weapons, securers of safehouses.
For this role, they each served 10 years in federal prison before their life sentences were REDUCED by President Clinton. In contrast, Obama protégé William Ayers was a leader in the Weather Underground movement who never served a day in jail, and told the New York Times on September 11, 2001(!!!) that he never regretted personally bombing government buildings and wished he had done more:
''I don't regret setting bombs,'' Bill Ayers said on 9/11. ''I feel we didn't do enough.'' Would he do it again? "I would not discount the possibility," Ayers told the Times.
