The lived in the same neighborhood thing was meant to imply that they were only casual acquaintances and was purposefully misleading.
The "kids went to school together" thing was also purposefully misleading, because their kids are about 20 years apart in age.
Ayers threw a party to start Obama's political campaign in Illinois -- at Obama's request.
Obama has been dishonest about his relationship with Ayers from the get-go. The obvious question is: Why? The other obvious question about Ayers is what did he seen in Obama that caused him to gravitate toward Obama?

all this info has been public since the get go, there has not been any denial by obama that he had the greet and meet, or that they served on the boards together.
why does he minimize the relationship? pretty darn obvious when we see the type of accusations being made.
what would have happened if obama said "well, yes bill and I worked a lot together and I've been a guest in his home."? the cartoon of the gas being poured on the fire is appropo...
does obama "play down" the relationship? a yes. does that mean that there is more to the relationship than we know? a no.
does this question obama's credibility? a no to that as well. do you expect him to provide fodder for the right to attack him? that would clearly question his intelligence!
