Washington, Oct. 11 : Michelle Obama has joined her husband Barack on John McCain''s too-tight-with-terrorists watch list.

A McCain campaign conference call Friday noted that Michelle worked at a Chicago law firm "at the same time as Bernardine Dohrn," a ''60s radical and the wife of ex-terrorist Bill Ayers.

According to the New York daily News, so did 1,800 other people back in 1987. The firm, Sidley Austin, is huge.

New polls suggest that the barrage of attacks featuring Ayers might be backfiring. A Fox News/Opinion Dynamics survey showed Obama''s approval ratings up from 57 to
60 percent.

Dohrn and Ayers were leaders of the now-defunct radical Weather Underground group, which claimed responsibility for 14 protest bombings across the country from 1969 to 1976. They are now Chicago-area college professors. (ANI)
