Obama was a Illinois State Senator in 1998 so why did Ayers say in his book Obama was writer. Obama's book wasn't doing well then and saying a State Senator lived in the neighborhood seems so much more prestigious than having and unknown writer in the neighborhood.

"It takes about 2-3 years to write and publish a book, so this friendship can be placed going back to at least 1995."

Maybe he was a writer in 1995?
Or even before then if Ayers took a long time to write it.
Put on that tin foil hat if you're going to try to party.-

" Then you agree that Obama has lied about his relationship with Ayers? Btw, you missed the point."

I don't know what Obama has specifically said about Ayers, other than the fact that he met him when he was a College professor somewhere around 1995. Considering that the internet wasn't wholely put together as we know it today in 1995, I wonder how Obama would have known about his relationship with the Weathermen (since I doubt any of you would have known without google) when he met him as a COLLEGE PROFESSOR.
I've served on boards and not known everything about everyone on the board, nor have I been friends with everyone on the board. I've had dinner parties thrown for me by people I don't consider close friends.
As for what Ayers wrote about Obama, all it says is that Ayers did some research about a person for his book. Which doesn't require them to be close friends. Does it?
You people will grasp at anything.

"...why did Ayers say in his book Obama was writer. " Just a guess: Perhaps because he didn't know Obama well enough to know he was a State Legislator?

That would be the simplest answer.
Of course, here's what REALLY happened: Obama knew he was going to run for president eventually, so he and his best friend Ayers got together secretly to devise a plan to disguise their friendship. They would never be seen in public together, except at board meetings. They would never admit their BFF status and their wives and other friends would take a blood oath never to reveal anything. This they swore at a midnight Muslim ceremony by the light of burning American flags and discarded fetuses (some of them not quite dead). But it was too much for Ayers! He just HAD to mention Obama in his book. At least he remembered to PRETEND he didn't know Obama was a State Senator.
