Bill Ayers, former University of Illinois professor and co-founder of the violent anti-war group Weather Underground, has said President Barack Obama should be put on trial for war crimes.

RealClearPolitics' Charlie Stone asked Ayers on broadcast of "Morning Commute" if Obama should be put on trial for war crimes.

To which the activist answered that every president in this century should be on trial for war crimes.

According to the Washington Times, Ayers added that every one of them goes into an office dripping with blood, and adds to it. And yes these are war crimes, that these are acts of terror.
