From our "just a guy in my neighborhood" file comes the news that on April 20, 2002 Barack Obama and Bill Ayers spoke on the same "Intellectuals in Times of Crisis" panel at a conference sponsored by The Center for Public Intellectuals and the University of Illinois-Chicago (link, copy here). This was after Ayers' August 2001 profile in Chicago Magazine picturing him stepping on a flag. The day before, Ayers' wife and fellow former Weatherman Bernardine Dohrn spoke on another panel.

Whoa, wait a minute...didn't he publicly state that he hadn't seen Ayers since 2001, running into him "in the neighborhood?" Uh - oh, Barack is being less than honest.
