In the best tradition of Bill Clinton's famous declaration that the
answer to the question of whether or not he was having an affair with
Monica depended on "what the definition of 'is' is," Barack Obama was
clearly splitting hairs and concealing the truth when he said that
William Ayers was "just a guy who lives in my neighborhood."
The records of the administration of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge
(CAC), released last week by the University of Illinois, show that the
Ayers-Obama connection was, in fact, an intimate collaboration and that
it led to the only executive or administrative experience in Obama's
life.
After Walter Annenberg's foundation offered several hundred million
dollars to American public schools in the mid-'90s, William Ayers
applied for $50 million for Chicago. The purpose of his application was
to secure funds to "raise political consciousness" in Chicago's public
schools. After he won the grant, Ayers's group chose Barack Obama to
distribute the money. Between 1995 and 1999, Obama distributed the $50
million and raised another $60 million from other civic groups to
augment it. In doing so, he was following Ayers's admonition to grant
the funds to "external" organizations, like American Community
Organizations for Reform
Now (ACORN) to pair with schools and conduct programs to radicalize the
students and politicize them.
Can McCain Stop Obama?

Reading, math and science achievement tests counted for little in the
CAC grants, but the school's success in preaching a radical political
agenda determined how much money they got.
Barack Obama should have run screaming at the sight of William Ayers and
his wife, Bernadette Dohrn. Ayers has admitted bombing the U.S. Capitol
building and the Pentagon, and his wife was sent to prison for failing
to cooperate in solving the robbery of a Brink's armored car in which
two police officers were killed. Far from remorse, Ayers told The New
York Times in September 2001 that he "wished he could have done more."
Ayers only avoided conviction when the evidence against him turned out
to be contained in illegally obtained wiretaps by the FBI. He was, in
fact, guilty as sin.
That Obama should ally himself with Ayers is almost beyond
understanding. The former terrorist had not repented of his views and
the education grants he got were expressly designed to further them.
So let's sum up Obama's Chicago connections. His chief financial
supporter was Tony Rezko, now on his way to federal prison. His
spiritual adviser and mentor was the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, of "God damn
America" fame. And the guy who got him his only administrative job and
put him in charge of doling out $50 million is William Ayers, a
terrorist who was a domestic Osama bin Laden in his youth.
Even apart from the details of the Obama/Ayers connection, two key
points emerge:
a) Obama lied and misled the American people in his description of his
relationship with Ayers as casual and arm's-length; and
b) Obama was consciously guided by Ayers's radical philosophy, rooted in
the teachings of leftist Saul Alinksy, in his distribution of CAC grant
funds.
Since Obama is asking us to let him direct education spending by the
federal government and wants us to trust his veracity, these are
difficulties he will have to explain in order to get the votes to win.
Now that Obama is comfortably ahead in the polls, attention will
understandably shift to him. We will want to know what kind of president
he would make. The fact that, within the past 10 years, he participated
in a radical program of political education conceptualized by an
admitted radical terrorist offers no reassurance.
Why did Obama put up with Ayers? Because he got a big job and $50
million of patronage to distribute to his friends and supporters in
Chicago. Why did he hang out with Jeremiah Wright? Because he was new in
town, having grown up in Hawaii and Indonesia and having been educated
at Columbia and Harvard, and needed all the local introductions he could
get to jump-start his political career. Why was he so close to Rezko?
Because he funded Obama's campaigns and helped him buy a house for
$300,000 less than he otherwise would have had to pay.
Not a good recommendation for a president.
