“We had served together on the board of a foundation, knew one another as neighbors and family friends, held an initial fund-raiser at my house, where I’d made a small donation to his earliest political campaign” (from a new afterword in Bill Ayers' 2001 book "Fugative Days: Memoirs of an Antiwar Activist")
Now that the election is over and Bill Ayers has provided a little more clarity as to the extent of their relationship than what the President-elect perhaps recalls, the best perspective on this given the breezy treatment of the whole episode is given by HotAir commenter, clnurnberg:
"Ayers is officially downgraded to a cool human interest story, 'Isn’t it neat that the president knows rebels like this? It’s practically Che!'"
P.S. By the time you read this, Ayers will have been on Good Morning America to plug his book.

Know the President...sell a book.

b-daddy. I disagree.
I see nothing in Ayers to suggest that he is anyway "humanity". A pile of ... something, but not humanity.
Actually he reminds me of a quote from STAR TREK, The Next Generation (and am I confessing to be a hopeless geek or what that I can quote ST:TNG?), but anyways:
"He is a waste of skin."
Hey, Ohioan. Wasn’t that a Worf quote? He seemed to get all the best lines:
(referring to an astronaut who died in bed):
“What a horrible way to die!”
(referring to somewhat hideous fish-aliens):
“What a handsome race!”
(and, of course, his signature):
“It is a good day to DIE!”
Gotta love that Worf! Confess a guilty pleasure in the picture of our hero making short work of Ayers with one of those deadly Klingon blades! ;-D
Blessings,
