Are Obama's ties to Bill Ayers relevant to the 2008 election? The evidence, as I have heard, read and analysed, suggests that the association of Senator Obama and Bill Ayers is not relevant to the 2008 election. In fact, even if it were, it would be to applaud Senator Obama for his ability to work... Sign in to see full entry.
