Obama on Ayers: ‘I assumed that he had been rehabilitated.’

Obama on Ayers, yesterday: “Ultimately, I ended up learning about the fact that he had engaged in this reprehensible act 40 years ago, but I was eight years old at the time and I assumed that he had been rehabilitated.”

Does everybody get that benefit of the doubt? Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, too?

The Hotline notes that while Obama and Ayers were serving together on the Woods Fund, Ayers made his infamous, “I don’t regret setting bombs, I feel we didn’t do enough” comment published on 9/11.
