Obama-Ayers relationship goes back to the 80's?

This is an interview with Yonkers City Councilman John Murtagh and it mostly tells a story we've all heard before - Murtagh's home was bombed by the Weather Underground in 1970 (when John was 9 years old) while his father was the presiding judge of a black panther trial in New York.

Toward the end of this video, John drops a bombshell. Bernardine Dohrn (Ayers' wife and also a leader of the Weather Underground) worked at Sidley and Austin - a large Chicago law firm - in the 1980's. (Dohrn couldn't be admitted to the bar because of her criminal record, but Ayers' family got her a job at the firm). Michelle Obama was also an associate at Sidley and Austin at the time. And a year later, Barack Obama joined Sidley and Austin, where he met Michelle.

Hmmm.

Let's go to the videotape.
