His father's wealth and position were also instrumental in his skating....and aided his ability to insinuate himself back into his previous existence with minor inconvenience. You shrug it off as "old relic" behavior. I remember it as it happened. It did matter....and it still matters and nothing changes that. Trust me on this, Josh...Obama trying to blow this off will blow up his campaign. He needs to seriously deal with it. Honestly...publicly.

I remember when Ayers and his terrorist wife, Bernardine Dohrn, were making bombs and blowing up buildings...with the end result being that some police and some of their own buddies were killed. I don't want to forget that there were American citizens who wanted to bomb the capital. Why would I? Why would anyone? Sure...a lot of others in Chicago hang out with Ayers, but OBAMA is the one running for president. Wake up. The only reason Ayers is not in prison is because of his rich father’s connections.

The more you listed things the funnier it got, and oh yeah there was that silly Chicago Annenberg Challenge, which Bill Ayers runs and he worked closely with Obama for several years, but come on, they barely knew each other! Just like he missed the one day Pastor Wright said God Damn America, in church after attending for 20 years. I mean Gosh, just because Pastor Wright had that sermon online to download on the website and freely expressed his thoughts where ever he went... I am sure Obama had no idea he was so harsh on our country... I just hate those right wingers who keep diggin up stuff, they are so nasty.

Fat chance. You have had heard of the First Amendment haven't you? As far as the weak claim to copyright, that's a joke Obambi. YOu are a Constitutional Scholar right? YOu've heard of the "fair use" doctrine right. You're a loser. Answer the charges or shutup! You're annoying. Nice try Hussein Obama, having your flacks pull the ad. Fat chance.

By not referring to it, USA Today makes it look like it is trying to cover for Obama. Not that I would expect the MSM to sugar-coat the facts for a Democrat, of course, ESPECIALLY in Chicago.

Obama was the Chairman of the Board and Ayers was the founder. Together, they spent many years, spending over $90,000,000.00, in an effort to improve Chicago's public schools -- an effort that was a self-admitted failure.
