Description

Ayers downplayed any close ties to Obama despite the reference to "family friend." I'm talking there about the fact that I became an issue, unwillingly and unwittingly," he said. "It was a profoundly dishonest narrative. ... I'm describing there how the blogosphere characterized the relationship. "I would say, really, that we knew each other in a professional way on the same level of, say, thousands of other people," he said. He added, echoing a phrase that Obama used to describe Ayers, "I am a guy around the neighborhood."
