Obama and Ayers... Why does it matter?

Why does Barack Obama continually shrug off questions about Bill Ayers? Why do the Democrats say this relationship is a non-issue? Why are they trying to 'sweep this under the rug'?

My guess is that he doesn’t want anybody to focus any attention on Ayers - or his past, and present, activities for fear that people just might put 2 and 2 together, and realize that Obama is a radical himself!

We all know the Ayers was a member of the Weathermen or the Weather Underground as they were later called.

The Weathermen came out of the college campus based anti-war movement during the Vietnam War.

The Weathermen were a group of radicals that had split away from the SDS, the Students for a Democratic Society.

They organized riots and bombed buildings, namely the Pentagon and the US Capitol.

One of their leaders was Bernardine Dohrn, the wife of Bill Ayers. Dohrn and others met with the North Vietnamese during the war, just like Jane Fonda did.

After all, they were commie sympathizers, why shouldn’t they visit their friends?

They were aligned with the Black Liberation Movement(remember Rev Wright's black liberation church?), and their goal was "the destruction of US Imperialism and achieve a classless world: world communism". They declared war on the US in 1970.

So Ayers was a Weatherman and a terrorist.
In 1995 he said, "I am a radical, Leftist, small 'c' communist ... [Laughs] Maybe I'm the last communist who is willing to admit it. [Laughs] We have always been small 'c' communists in the sense that we were never in the [Communist] party and never Stalinists. The ethics of Communism still appeal to me. I don't like Lenin as much as the early Marx.”

Ayers is currently a Distinguished Professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago, College of Education.
He was one of three co-authors of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge grant proposal that in 1995 won $49.2 million over five years for public school reform.

So Ayers is a radical education reformer now, and runs the Chicago Annenberg Challenge.
What does that have to do with Obama?

For one thing, during the Presidential Debates last night, moderator Tom Brokaw asked each candidate how they would handle the 3 toughest challenges facing the country, “Health Policies, Energy Policies and Entitlement Reforms”.

Obama answered at length, that Energy was most important. Then informed us that Healthcare was second on his list.

Then he said, "we must focus on Education... but let me just make one more point about…" - And then went on the criticize McCain and Bush for the rest of his time.

He snuck his education agenda in there and no one noticed! Never mentioned Entitlements at all!

And where did Obama get his expertise on education?
From his America hating wife, who has always encouraging young people to work on social issues in nonprofit groups and government agencies.
And, of course, Bill Ayers.

Obama says that Ayers is just a guy in his neighborhood and while he may have sat on a board or two with the guy, they’re not close. He hasn’t seen him in a couple of years.
Well, that just doesn’t make any sense.

At the Annenberg project Obama was brought in to chair the board of directors and Ayers ran the operational arm of the foundation.

Does he expect us to believe that they never discussed politics?
Or Education? Or Political Theory? Give me a break Barry!

Stanly Kurtz has been trying to gain access to Annenberg documents, that are supposed to be public, and research this relationship. His published 'Founding Brothers', and his column titled, "Chicago Annenberg Challenge Shutdown" are very revealing.

For some reason, they won't let him in! They will not grant him access to the documents! What are they trying to hide?

My feelings are that if Obama gains The White House, Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn will be among the first visitors to the Lincoln bedroom, and the Public Education System in the US will undergo a transformation like you cannot imagine!

Re-education camps will spring up.
Schools will become 'communal like'.
We'll see the re-emergence of the Peace Corps as a service/education vehicle for Obama and Ayers to train our youngsters on being a good Marxist!

A Socialist agenda will be taught to our children and American ideals and traditions will be thrown in the trash!

The communists didn't need to defeat us in war, or overthrow our government - hell, they just waited until we elected them!
