Bill Ayers 'fesses up on Obama fundraiser (video)

In October 2008, Obama spokesman Robert Gibbs categorically denies Bill Ayers held a fundraiser for candidate Barack Obama.




Three years later, Bill Ayers 'fesses up.



Flashback to April 2008: President Obama tells  ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos during the Democratic primary debate on April 16 in Philadelphia,

Obama: George, but this is an example of what I’m talking about. This is a guy who lives in my neighborhood, who’s a professor of English in Chicago, who I know and who I have not received some official endorsement from. He’s not somebody who I exchange ideas from on a regular basis. And the notion that somehow as a consequence of me knowing somebody who engaged in detestable acts 40 years ago when I was 8 years old, somehow reflects on me and my values, doesn’t make much sense, George.
