Maybe you missed what Mayor Daley said about this "issue":

STATEMENT OF MAYOR RICHARD M. DALEY REGARDING SENATOR BARACK OBAMA’S RELATIONSHIP WITH BILL AYERS:

There are a lot of reasons that Americans are angry about Washington politics. And one more example is the way Senator Obama’s opponents are playing guilt-by-association, tarring him because he happens to know Bill Ayers.

I also know Bill Ayers. He worked with me in shaping our now nationally-renowned school reform program. He is a nationally-recognized distinguished professor of education at the University of Illinois/Chicago and a valued member of the Chicago community.

I don’t condone what he did 40 years ago but I remember that period well. It was a difficult time, but those days are long over. I believe we have too many challenges in Chicago and our country to keep re-fighting 40 year old battles.

That's going to be the spin thrown right back at McSame. If he wants to play that though, he would not be able to handle reruns of him in his Keating Five days. That shows him to be a criminal. Compared to being on some board and a small political contribution 10 years ago is NOTHING compared to being someone responsible for costing taxpayers millions of dollars.
