OBAMA AND AYERS = SMOKE AND MIRRORS (PART 3)

I imagine you’ll say… so what! Even if Obama had a relationship as far back as his Columbia years, what does it matter? Well, I think it matters a lot for two reasons:
1) Obama has been less than forthcoming about his working relationship with Ayers, which begs the question: Why? Was Ayers one of Obama's mentors? If so, he would certainly do everything possible to cover his tracks.
2) Ayers is no "former radical". He continues to stand behind the communist (in his words: small "c") ideals of his youth, and, for example, has been to Venezuela four times to denounce “capitalist education” and support the rule of Marxist dictator Hugo Chavez: “La educacion es revolucion”! In other words, Ayers is still promoting the same Marxist-socialist ideas, except that brainwashing kids is now his preferred method.

By the way, his stepson, Chesa Boudin identified himself as a foreign-policy adviser intern to Venezuela's government in 2005 and had an office in the presidential palace! The last time Ayers spoke in Venezuela, Boudin translated his talk into Spanish. And who is Boudin? He’s the son of jailed Weather Underground terrorist Kathy Boudin and grandson of Fidel Castro's personal attorney.

Maybe we should ask ourselves: why isn’t Obama afraid to speak directly to Chavez without preconditions? It’s because his friends have been speaking directly to Chavez for years. And remember in the last debate how Obama would not commit to a trade agreement with Columbia? Well, that wouldn’t be in Chavez’s interest at all!

By the way, this is NOT a Republican issue. These issues were being raised somewhat meekly during the Democratic primaries by Hillary, but are more critical now that the election looms. The media wasn’t following up then, and is outright dismissive now.

Can we say TROJAN HORSE… BIG TIME!

OBAMA AND AYERS = SMOKE AND MIRRORS (PART 2)

But can we go back still further? You obviously don’t trust close to $100 million to someone you don’t know. Let’s go back another 14 years to 1981.

As a student at Columbia University, Barack Obama was in New York at the same time as, guess who? Bill Ayers, our favorite domestic terrorist (sorry, anti-war activist)! Obama graduated from Columbia in 1983, but stayed in New York another two years; while Ayers attended Bank Street College (located near Columbia), earning a M.Ed. in Early Childhood Education there in 1984. Did Obama and Ayers make first contact in New York? It’s difficult to say, since Obama is less than forthcoming about his studies and subsequent employment in New York. Ayers continued his studies at Columbia and completed his Ed.D. in Curriculum and Instruction in 1987, but it is unlikely that he resided in New York while doing his doctoral research, since from 1984 to 1988 his wife and fellow-radical, Bernardine Dohrn, worked for the prestigious Chicago law firm Sidley & Austin (rich family connections are always helpful, even when you're a leftist radical - Tom Ayers, Bill's dad, was president of Commonwealth Edison till 1980 and chairman of Northwestern University Board of Trustees till 1986). My guess would be that the Ayers couple resided together in Chicago from 1984, ...which is where Obama arrived in June of 1985. He applied for a job with the Development Communities Project Chicago’s South side. Three years later (Fall 1988) Obama entered Harvard Law School. How he was admitted and with what funding we don’t know. In any case, he would return to Chicago for the summers and in that first year worked as a summer associate at, you guessed it, the law firm of Sidley & Austin. That's where he met his wife, Michelle, who had become an associate at the firm in 1987, a year before Bernardine Dohrn left, to eventually take an adjunct professorship (no faculty approval required!) at Northwestern Law School (remember Bill's dad!).

Now we don’t know for sure whether there were any actual contacts between Obama and Ayers before 1995, although it seems highly likely. We certainly know that his future wife and Ayers’ wife were employed by the same law firm in 1987. That was the year Ayers completed his Ed. D. at Columbia and was asked by Mayor Richard M. Daley to assist him in the Chicago School Reform Project (their fathers, mayor Richard J. Daley, Sr. and Thomas Ayers were good friends!). In 1991 Michelle left Sidley & Austin to work as Assistant to Mayor Daley. The Obamas were married in 1992. Three years later Obama was chairman of Ayers’ Chicago Annenberg Project and poised to launch his political career.

OBAMA AND AYERS = SMOKE AND MIRRORS (PART 1)

As someone with roots in Eastern Europe, I have a sixth sense for leftist conspiracy. And what I’m seeing here concerns me VERY DEEPLY.

Obama’s contacts with Ayers certainly go back further than he would like us to believe. Let’s go back 11 years, for starters. “The writer” Barack Obama is mentioned in Ayers’ 1997 book, “A Kind and Just Parent” (on p. 82) and Barack Obama wrote a brief endorsement of the book on the pages of the Chicago Tribune (Dec. 27, 1997), along with his photo. But before that Obama and Ayers appeared together on a panel about juvenile justice organized by Michelle Obama on November 20, 1997. So 1997, contact is undisputable.

But let’s go further back. Barack Obama served as founding president and chairman of the Board of Directors of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge from 1995-1999, and continued serving on the board till 2002. From 1995 to 2001 Bill Ayers’ Small Schools Workshop received from the CAC $1,056,162. Obama was also serving on the board of two other foundations (the Woods Fund of Chicago from 1993 and the Joyce Foundation from 1994). All three foundation together contributed just under $2 million dollars to Ayers’ ($1,968,718).

Oh and by the way, the Obama’s Chicago Annenberg Challenge and Ayers’ Small Schools Workshop shared the same office address from 1995 to 1998: 115 S. Sangamon Street (3rd Floor), Chicago, Illinois 60607. I should, of course, mention that it was Ayers who actually co-authored the grant proposal for the $98 million (combined public and matching private funds) Chicago Annenberg Challenge and hand-picked Obama to serve as founding director. So 1995, again, is indisputable, up close and personal!
