Obama-Ayers More than Meets the Eye

Obama-Ayers, collaborators in disguise. For months Obama has been attempting to minimize his relationship with unrepentant domestic terrorist Bill Ayers. Now, Stanley Kurtz is being denied access to publicly available documents that could reveal the extent of Obama's connections to both the far left and Chicago's notoriously corrupt political machine.

Money quote:

Let me make one broad point today. Notice that the critical evaluation of Woods Fund grant programs I discuss in "Senator Stealth," my piece in the current issue of National Review, occurred in 1995. That was the same year the Chicago Annenberg Challenge began, with Obama as board chairman, and the same year Obama launched his first campaign for State Senate, at a political coming out party at the home of Ayers and Dohrn, among other venues. In 1995, in other words, Obama moved to increase his influence over two local foundations, each of which would disburse money to his radical political-organizer friends, and even to his future campaign ground troops. This alone raises many interesting and important questions, some of which I pursue in "Senator Stealth." But I note that, if names were to be purged from the Chicago Annenberg Collection records, it could inhibit my ability to follow critical leads on this, and other, aspects of this story.

A tree is known by its fruit, and Obama's fruit has consistently been of a most radical sort (and not in the Bill and Ted sense). Now Obama is trying to cover his tracks, and it appears some of his former political allies are only too eager to help.
