After he won the grant, Ayers' 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' admonition to grant the funds to "external" organizations, like the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN), to pair with schools and conduct programs to radicalize the students and politicize them. Barack Obama should have run screaming at the sight of Ayers and his wife, Bernardine 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 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. The former terrorist had not repented 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 advisor 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 Ayers, a terrorist who was a domestic Osama bin Laden in his youth. Two key points emerge: • Obama lied and misled the American people in his description of his relationship with Ayers as casual and arm's length; • Obama was consciously guided by Ayers' radical philosophy in his distribution of CAC grant funds. Now that Obama is comfortably ahead in the polls, attention will understandably shift to him. 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. Why did he hang out with Wright? Because he was new in town, having grown up in Hawaii and Indonesia, 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 good recommendations for a president.
